I returned to Senegal on June 27th. We arrived but four of our bags did not. We left the airport with faith that God would bring our bags to Senegal. God did bring our bags to Senegal. The last bag arrived the morning that we wanted to leave on the boat.
Our stay in Dakar was fantastic. Roger Diatta's family hosted us. Roger started a Jola church in Dakar many years ago. The church has grown since then and has it's own property in Dakar now in and they have tripled in numbers.
During our four days in Dakar Tom and Lorrie were able to practice their French and Jola greetings. They were even given Jola names. Tom's new name is Samba which means strong like a lion. Lorrie's new Jola name (I can't remember exactly) but it means forceful worker. Everyone in Oussouye was pleased to learn their new Jola names.
Tom also had his first Attai Tea lesson. Our time was tremendously fruitful and fun despite all the logistical challenges.
