relaxation and planning

this weekend was absolutely refreshing. here is Senegal it is necessary to take time away. living in Yoff is great, but people are everywhere and always know what we are doing, always knocking on the door. but oh how i love them all!
on friday we went to the beautiful snake island...there are no snakes there. it was awesome and reminded us all of how big our God is and what He is able to do!
saturday was a day of resting in the apartment!
today we went to church, to eat, then napped. i played connect four with some of the kids...they are so funny to watch. then we did some health care planning for the upcoming weeks, because of some unexpected changes. and tonight we had a going back to america dinner for one of the girls who has already been here two months.
if you know me i am a planner! well that doesnt happen here. its all good though. please be in prayer for us as we try to figure out what to do health wise as a specific ministry in yoff. as of yesterday, all our plans were changed. probably for the better, meaning more time with families. i love doing health care here, but it is tricky...to not make sure you are used, to not make the people dependent on you, etc. however, again i tell you that our biggest ministry is hanging out with families. pray for the girls new to Senegal, that they would feel welcomed and find their own friends and family to build relationships with. and pray as we try to get health care started up again on thursday, enshallah!
