New hairdo, passport, Bandia Reserve...

Well, this week Mommy, Daddy, and I haven't done too much. Just enjoyed each other and rested.

Tuesday, Mommy, Aunt Cindy, Cousin Erin, and I all went to the hair salon so Mommy and Cousin Erin could get their haircut. Mommy's hair looks great. While we were at the hair salon, Daddy went and picked up my passport!! Praise the Lord we got it and now we can apply for my visa to go back to Mali!

Here's Mommy's new haircut . The hair dresser's here really like the 80's big hair look!!

 

Friday, Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Holly, her friend, Hannah Rachel, and I all went to Bandia Reserve. It's  a 1500 acre reserve that has all kind of different animals. We saw monkey's, warthogs, zebras, giraffes, rhinos, antelopes, gazelles, tortoises, savannah buffalo, ostriches, and some other animals that I don't remember their names. It was a lot of fun!!! My favorite was the giraffes.

After Bandia Reserve we went to Accrobaobab which is an obstacle course they have built in the top of baobab trees. Daddy and I hung out while Mommy, Aunt Holly, and Hannah Rachel did the obstacle course. They were all tired after they got done but they had a great time!!

Prayer Requests:

1. Monday (6/22), we are flying back to Mali...pray for safe travels and that I'll enjoy my first plane ride.
2. Pray for us as we all re-adjust to being back in Mali.
3. While we've been in Dakar our team back in Mali has been steadily working on the farm project we are doing. Please pray for the success of this project, that through it the villagers would draw closer to Christ, and those who don't know Him would come to know Him.

Until next time...
