Which way do I go????

The other day I was out on a research trip. I was northwest of Kolda and learning all that I can about the Fulakunda in that area. After talking to one village, I decided to go south. After a few kilometers of going on this road, I hit a crossroads. I stopped and looked and my GPS to get a waypoint on the area and also to look at the map to decide which way would be the best way to go. I was coming from the North and after looking at the map I had a really good idea of what I would find if I went east. So I had to decide, South or West????? I picked West. After about a kilometer down the road I saw a cow, and of course the thing started running away from me. I turned a small corner and I saw at least 30 cows-- all running away from me now. I first have to slow down to their speed and then I try to see if I can get around them. But after a few minutes I realize that there are too many cows and it's too small of a road. I wasnt getting around them, I was hearding Cows!!! So then I tell myself….I’m going South. I back track a little (which isn’t the first time I ever had to back track) and I go south and continue my research. It's all in a day's work!

Which way would you go???

I got a roommate!

Back in the month of November, there were two men that came from a church in Pennsylvania. It was a great time as they worked alongside us for about a week and a half. They then went back to their church and they were able to tell their church about the Fulakunda and how God can use people here and other places in Senegal.

One of the two that came in November, has been able to come back and work with the Fulakunda and will be over here for the next three months. Since I have been provided with a very nice house, (thanks to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering) I decided to give him my extra room and now I have a roommate.

Please Pray for Matthew. Pray for him as he continues to learn the language, and the relationships that he will be building here in Kolda. Once he gets settled down he will begin his ministry. He is a talented musician and he plans to use his talent to share the gospel and build relationships with the lost. He also has plans and ideas for worship opportunities with some of the local believers. And also, always pray for the Fulakunda team, that we can still be united under Christ.
