<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOur next trip was to Guinea. There we were visiting a team who were in the throws of language learning. They had one new team member who was just beginning and another family who were entering the last stage of our language program. The goal of this visit was to encourage them and help them stay on the right track. We didn’t take many pictures this trip but it was a great visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we were there they had a problem with the well and so Joel worked with them on the problem<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Our last trip was down to the southern part of Senegal. We visited 2 teams there who are just at the beginning of their work. It was good to visit and see their progress. These are families we worked with closely through their first years on the field as they learned French so it was a joy to reconnect with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was fun to see how God is caring for them

There are others we missed out on seeing since travel shut down. We are praying for each of them as this time has been challenging on our folks who live remotely and are even more isolated now with travel restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
