The Overlap

“How is the transition?” “Are you happy to be back?” “How have you been?” All simple questions that I have been asked multiple times lately. Simple questions I have had a difficulty answering. Yes, I can answer all these questions honestly and simply: “The transition started off with a lot of busyness, jet lag, difficult […]

Growth

Before we left the US, I wrote a blog about moving… digging up your roots and replanting somewhere else. I remembered that just the other day, as I realized that the growth of a plant is really an incredible picture of what it’s like to “grow” into another culture. For one, there’s the roots. So […]

Thankful: Blessings big and small.

We are thousands of miles away from the United States, thousands of miles away from the friends and family we would normally been around on Thanksgiving. We decided that even though all the above was true, and Thanksgiving doesn’t exist in Senegal… we were going to celebrate and be thankful anyway! We invited some of […]

Paul’s Secret

Last Friday our host family was invited to go to another church’s Friday night meeting, so they asked if I wanted to tag along with them. Thinking it would be a good chance to see another church and spend some time with our host family, I said yes.   Now, I had already had class earlier that day, […]

Last Sunday when I woke up and looked out the window. Where I might normally see an empty sandy lot with a makeshift soccer goal, there was a large pavilion being set up. Now this isn’t all to unfamiliar, for all kinds of events people will rent large tents and pop them up in an […]

You watch your child as they try to play a game with everyone else.  They are the only one that doesn’t know how to play, and it’s easy to see they are frustrated. They’re annoyed that everyone else understands the rules and no matter how hard they try to mimic what they see, they keep […]

His smile lit up his face when he realized what I was asking. He hadn’t seen me approaching since his bad eye was turned to me. “How much?” I asked again, when I couldn’t understand what he said. “Cent franc,” he responded, his thin hand pulling out the newspaper that had caught my eye. I […]

“How is my friend who likes red pommes?” He asks, every time we go to buy fruit from him. He’s talking about Riley, and if she is with us, he will always try to get a smile out of her. We rarely buy our fruit from the supermarket, preferring to visit our favorite fruit vendor. […]

There is a lady, I’ve seen her twice recently, sitting in front of her apartment building – the one right across from us. I’ve seen her when I’ve been on my way to class. She sits with a dress in her lap, using brightly colored thread to embroider a beautiful design on it. The other […]
