SUNDAY: Sheila had the group vehicle signed out so we were able to hitch a ride to church. Strange to realize that is was our last church service in Senegal, we have really enjoyed meeting new people and will miss the pastor’s great, thought provoking messages from the book of Isaiah. (Everyone needs a Savior: ch. 53). We had to find our own way home, which we did like old pros. The taxi driver took us right through the busy side streets. Both sidewalks are taken over by stalls selling lots and lots of everything. It really is too bad that we can’t videotape it for you!
In the afternoon Sharon (the
translation coordinator) asked us if we could help her getting her
bed frame together. She is moving out to a rather nice (for
Senegalese standards) third floor two bedroom apartment. It is only
two km from the SIL center and has a view over the ocean. While there
Henk also installed an extra door lock. Every time we are amazed at
the reasonable rents here: Sharon will be paying $175 a month.
On Monday morning the time had arrived
to partly disassemble the new kitchen to be able to get it upstairs
and into the apartment. It took a bit of doing but it is in and
re-assembled. Gaby and Henk have their work cut out tomorrow as the
upper cabinets that should fit nicely into the corner aren’t quite
doing that. The wall at that height is two inches out from square.

Looks like you chose the perfect colour for your painting clothes, Margreet! At least for the railing... And good to see that you're wearing a hat--helps keep the hair out of it, eh? [Senegal Sightings 7a] ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing you won't want banana bread when you come over for coffee... We'll try to think of something else! Fight the good fight,
