Read onSounds of Dakar
Of the millions of changes we’ve encountered since our arrival, we are often struck by the many sounds which are so strange or foreign to us. One that we noticed right away (well, about 5am our first morning in Senegal) is the call to prayer (see recording below). There is a mosque directly across the [...]
Read onPray for Guinea!
Please pray for Guinea today! They should be having elections today. This could be a real turning point for Guinea. Please pray it goes well and that everything stays peaceful! I am so excited to see what God’s plan is for Guinea! We will try to keep you updated.

I can’t believe this is our first post since arriving! It definitely feels weird arriving as a ‘new missionary’ all over again. We do thank the Lord though for our three months of experience in Guinea which have already helped us immensely during our first week and a half in Senegal. We were definitely more [...]
Read onFlights resume!
Just a QUICK update to let you all know that Air France has resumed flights! The volcanic ash is now not a problem to our flight to Africa! =) Just keep praying that it doesn’t blow back over there! Thank you for praying and it looks like we will be getting to Africa as planned!

13 days!!! WOW! Well, sorry for not posing yesterday, and today is almost over… We headed up to Wine Country this weekend for my cousin’s wedding. It was so nice to get up and see almost the entire Rutledge (my dad’s) side of the family. It was really neat to see them one more time [...]

Read onHe is on his last flight!
Yeah! Norm will be home this evening. He is currently flying somewhere between Paris and California. I was able to talk to him for a while, while he was at the airport in Paris. He was quite tired, but he was able to find the long comfy lounge chairs they have there. Hopefully he was [...]
Read onHe is in Paris!
I just talked to Norm and he is safely in Paris. He now has an 8 hour layover! He is so wishing to be home now, instead of all this traveling! We are so excited to have him home soon! We looked to see if they had any flights that came in sooner, which they [...]
Read onHe is sitting on the airplane!
I just got off the phone with Norm and he is sitting on the plane, ready for his first flight! The goodbyes were hard but good. All of the checking in and security check points went well. He sounds a little tired… but that is to be expected. He said it felt really nice to [...]
