Really the main thing we have done is travel A LOT.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first trip we had took us down to Guinea to visit a family down there who are in the process of learning language.  This was a work that we have to travel to by car.  It is a full days drive and we were bringing supplies down with us so our car was LOADED.  It was our first time consulting this family and helping them since they moved into the village.  It was great to see there context and get to know more of their realities.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For you today I have some pictures from our drive.   Between the Senegal border and the Guinea border there are over 10 stops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
