What can I say but "Wow!!!' As you may have realized if you have kept up with us through this blog, what an awesome and blessed 3 months we have had. Not anything I would change. As I have said before, if anyone is considering a mission's trip, I would recommend Senegal.
We spent yesterday saying our good-byes but this morning my African friend, Douada came by one more time. He just hates to see us go and we feel the same way. He was a "special" friend who was genuine and sincere. Just wish the language barrier wasn't there.
We went to the center for one last day with the kids. We did a puppet show for them with a recorded message, "The Good Samaritan". I think, from the quiet during the show, they were pretty thrilled with the puppets.
On the way to the center, I looked up and said, "There is a monkey on top of that bus", and sure enough, someone was taking their monkey somewhere because he was tied on and just looking around. Tried to get close enough for a good shot, but if you look at the picture the brown blob on top of the bus is the monkey. haha
We leave for Dakar in the morning, around 6:00am and we plan on going to Goree Island. This is the last land that the slaves would see before being put on the slave ships. Everyone says it is something to see so we decided since we are this close, we will go. We then fly out at 2:00am and should arrive Dallas around 10:27am. Friday
Now for my thank you to all our friends who have supported us in prayers, finances, food, emails, care packages and everything else I may have forgotten. We pray we have been good stewards of everything you entrusted to us. Know that every one of you was close to us daily in our thoughts and prayers.
To Bryan and Laura Davis and Ethan and Tea', thank you for your many meals at your home, for your knowledge and friendship. We are truly blessed to have been here with you.
To Pastor Omer and family, as well as the church family, thank you. May Jesus continue to shine through your fellowship as you reach out to your community.
And a "special" THANK you to Amy Farley, faithful servant who gladly (I hope) opened her home up to 2 intruders for 3 months. We loved seeing you daily, and seeing your interaction with the kids and grown ups. We especially loved you taking pictures of us even though we asked you not to,,just kidding.
We will keep all of Senegal in our thoughts and prayers, forever.
Love from Senegal,
Ken and Peggy
PS. We are already praying about our next trip to "wherever" God directs, US or overseas, we are open.
