Now that I don't have language classes all day, I'm trying to balance the time between my research trips and being in Kolda. I have filled some of that time with a group of people in a village a few kilometers out of town. After about two meetings, I made plans for exact times to meet . I told my three new friends to invite anyone that might want to listen to my stories. Sure enough, there were two new faces on my most recent visit. Just as I started to begin my story one of the original friends started talking about me. He mentioned when I came to Kolda, where I live, how many times I've been to the village, what I've been doing this past year, etc. He kind of introduced me for two or three minutes, then he looked at me and said that I could start. When he did this I couldn't help but laugh as I thought how I would have been introduced in the States. I'm perty sure the introduction would have taken no more than three seconds and gone something like this..."This is Erik. He's cool (head nod)."
Continue to pray for me as I travel. Pray for these meetings I have every Monday morning in the village of PB.
