Out to the Tribe

HI everyone - well today was in many ways as eventful as the rest. Our internet has been out for 24 hours - apparently there was an cyber attack on the providers here in Senegal - they attempted to bring down the entire internet and almost succeeded. We were out to a really neat Wycliffe translation project today. We had lunch with the Dijkstras - a veteran couple who have been in that tribe for 20 years. It was wonderful - but very hot. On the way back to Dakar, we got caught in a serious traffic jam and sat and watched life in Dakar. The noise, the people and the congestion! It was exhilarating and stifling at the same time. Mac could not believe what he was seeing. There is remarkable order in the seeming chaos. The heat and fumes from diesel engines were really powerful but a good lesson for us. Ken and Cheryl have been incredible! We are off to Gore Island tomorrow and the board the plane tomorrow night - all being well. Thanks for following us - there will most likely be at least one more posting.
