first week in gambia

we started our reading sessions.. it has gone pretty good so far, we have 47 readers in total!! which is awesome! the people here are very nice, some of the readers already have a familiar knowledge of God others are still learning. Justin is pretty pumped because he gets to read under a tree! haha Kendra and Corinne got their hair planted (braided) and its pretty nice. trevor is enjoying the little kids and he always starts beaming when a little kid comes up and talks to us. The little kids call us tubab which means white person, so where ever we go we hear "tubab tubab how are you tubab!" haha its quite adorable.


our host family is amazing!! they are very kind and love God. The mother can cook soooooo good! and the kids are nice and they help us get around the village. Yesterday was Corinne's birthday and we had a nice surprise cake and ice cream which was great!!

thanks again for all the prayers and for the encouragement you guys have been giving us.. we love you all!!!

Love Team Gambia

  2. It's quite the experience to be the only white people around isn't it? You draw attention to yourselves without even trying! Praying for you all!
