Sunday, Mother's Day

Here in Senegal they don't celebrate Mother's Day until June but we went ahead and celebrated today anyway with a worship service translated into three languages and a freshly prepared goat dish for lunch.

Afterwards we had a refreshment of a banana flavored yogurt drink with ICE CHUNKS. This was the best treat ever since the temperature is 107 F. We are currently in Linguere, Senegal which is located just on the edge of the Sahara Desert. People here know how to stay cool by sitting under the shade trees and moving slow during the hottest part of the day. We are learning a lot from them and once again being treated so graciously with copious amounts of fresh food everywhere we go.

This evening we will have supper at our host home of Dirk and Sarah and their two daughters and later visit the tailor to have some cloth we have bought made into skirts.  Tomorrow evening we begin our host stays although we have already met our family's today at church.

Ba beneen, Kathy
