Keys Keys Keys
This week we received another reminder that simple things aren’t always so simple here. On Friday we were getting ready to head to the conference when I discovered that our car key wouldn’t go all the way into the ignition! It turned out that it also wouldn’t go into the car door. It’s strange because [...]

Canaan and Emmaus just finished a week long break from school. Even though Deb and I continued our classes we made time each day to get out with the kids. Canaan would have been happy to play at the house all day long but after just a few hours in doors Emmaus seems to go [...]
Read onMV Le Joola
Today is the 8th anniversary of the sinking of the MV Le Joola, one of the largest ever peacetime maritime disasters. On September 26th, 2002 a Senegelese ferry travelling from the Casamance (southern region of Senegal) to Dakar capsized off of the coast of The Gambia. This disaster resulted in the deaths of at least [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
