Senegal Beach

When we finally got to Senegal, we did have a pretty good time. We enjoyed meeting the other new apprentices. We had many good metings to keep us focused and got to spend some time talking about what we saw as strengths and weaknesses of the program. Our kids plopped down in the middle of the other 12 kids and had a great time. You'd have never known they weren't really cousins at a big family reunion. They left their friends with hugs and well wishes. "We'll see you in a month and a week!" All of the MKs look forward to our big annual meeting which will be at the end of next month, so they weren't having to say goodbye for long. While we were there we went to the beach for supper one night and to have a little worship service. Can you believe we actually have missionaries assigned to this lovely spot?! I picked out my vacation house for when I am old and rich and took a picture of the sun setting behind it for you!
Last but not least we got to spend some extra time in Dakar, due to a canceled flight. This is a picture of us at the lighthouse with the Western most tip of Africa in the background!
Dakar is a beautiful city and I hope that we might go back some time with the intention of spending a few days there.
