One week in Africa!

We've now been in Niger for one week! What an adventure it has been. So many new things to experience and adjust to. This afternoon, our neighbors welcomed back a friend from out of town by slaughtering a goat behind our house. Tonight we go to sleep to the sounds of African drums and singing. We are trying to learn some French, which can be fun but also very challenging. God has provided for all of our needs here and we are so thankful. Chris is beginning to get his classroom ready for the first day of school, which is only about 1 and a half weeks away!
