With all of our different moves, it seems that we make them before August when Emmanuel’s birthday is, so he usually gets to be the first one to celebrate another year of life in our new context.
Thank you so much all of you who have been and are praying for our family. Part of adjusting to our life here in Senegal is to build new friendships. Emmanuel having friends to invite to his birthday is a direct answer to your prayers for friends for each of us. Please continue to pray for us as we build relationships here in Senegal.
Please pray for us as we parent all four of our children through this transition and beyond. We truly need wisdom from above to parent each one of our children.

Dear Emmanuel,
So sorry I didn’t email you on your birthday. I just wanted you to know that I love you and I am praying for you and your family as you make this big adjustment in your lives. You are a great kid, and I am so proud to know you. Enjoy your new (over a month old now) bike, and remember to keep Jesus first in your life. God is going to use you in a wonderful for His glory.
Tell your family uncle Danny said hello, and that I am praying for them. Give your dad a big high five for me.
Love you,
Uncle Danny
