Yep! Canaan, Emmaus and I are survivors! We made the 36 hour journey back home to Dakar. And on top of that we have survived 40 hours worth of power outages since we have been home! We are surviving the extreme heat and humidity. We have also survived a record wind/rain storm the day after [...]

Mr. and Mrs. Ken Copeland
