I arrived January of 2008 and have been in language class everyday since, but guess what? I took my Pulaar language exam this Wednesday and passed! No more language classes, so what will I do????
Well, I will begin my research of the Fulakunda people and look for possibilities on where the gospel can be placed in order to reach the most people. I will begin in villages close to the city of Kolda. The better and more comfortable I get, the further away from home I will go. Over the next month or two I don't see myself getting too far away. One or two nights at a time is probably all I will do for a little while.
Please continue to pray for me in this time of transition. At first thought, it looks like I will have a lot more free time not being in class all day, but actually I will be even busier. I'm already seeing that my time is filling up quickly and I won't be spending as much time with some of my friends. I can also tell that I am going to be spending time with new friends. I'm excited that I will be having the opportunity to teach cool things from the Good Book to those new friends. Pray for my travels and that I can remember that God is always in control - even in the bush of Africa.

congrats on passing your test! Liftin ya up as you work on your research!
yea, you'll fill your time up no problem. Balance your time by continuing to study and going out and visiting. I'm actually enjoying the breaks. A typical day-I'll get up, study in Wolof, go out and visit a neighbor, come in eat lunch, go out to the village and visit, and in the evening read a little in my Wolof NT. That gives me usually 4-6 hours in Wolof.
Praying for your new directions and hope you're finding comfort in all you do!
