be praying, please

so as i said mom and i are going to senegal during Christmas - for about ten days. i just got the plane tickets last night. mom got an awesome bonus from work which is taking care of travel costs. a definite praise.

be praying about lots: we will be doing some caroling & Christmas storying from compound to compound, having a Christmas party, and in all...loving the Lebou and telling them why Christmas is so important to us - Christ came as our Savior...but we know that was not the end...he lived, died, and LIVES today!

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16

"Ndaxte Yalla dafa begg addina, ba joxe jenn doomam gi mu am kupp. Ngir kepp ku ko gum, am dund gu dul jeex, te doo sanku mukk." John 3:16 (wolof)

***remember: there is no word in Wolof which fully describes LOVE.
