Anne Christina's Baptism on the 8th day
On the 8th day after the baby is born is the day they official give them a name and in the Muslim tradition they shave the baby's hair. Gerard's family is Catholic so the baby was blessed by the Catholic Aunt's and the shaving was started and then finished by the careful and tender hand of Marietou's mother, a very faithful Muslim
The shaved hair was saved in this calabash. I was told it will be made into a charm for the baby to wear.
These are Anne Christina's two Aunt's from Mbour
Oussouye Family
All of the most wonderful people and truly my family. Top Row Tom, Joe Lambal, Jerome, Assine, Alioune Dediou, Marcel Diatta. I'm not sure what row I'm in. Lucy Lambal, Marie Claire Assine, Martin Dediou, Astou Diatta

Nehemiah 4:16-17
"From that day on, half of my men did the work, while the other half were equipped with spears, shields, bows and armor. The officers posted themselves behind all the people of Judah 17 who were building the wall. Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a weapon in the other, 18 and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked. But the man who sounded the trumpet stayed with me."
I have been thinking about these verses lately during prayer. Just how God uses so many different people for different jobs. Sometimes it's your job to build and some times it's your job to intercede and guard the work or administrate the work. It says in verse 17 that even those that did the work were working with a weapon in their other hand. I think about men I know who do construction and how difficult it must have been to rebuild a wall with one hand and keep a weapon in the other.
Thanks to all of you who support Mission Senegal in so many different ways. We are building together the Kingdom of God.
