It has definately been a busy few months, but I'll try and be better at updating on here. That is if anyone is interested. We are... well Nate is more faithful in putting together the monthly 'prayer letters' so if you're not getting one of those and would like to it's definately more frequent =)
We had our first snow today and it stayed for most of the day, but now is gone and no more is coming for a few days. I never fully understood the song 'i'm DREAMING of a white Christmas.
Anyway, we have begun a language and culture learning practicum. For the first two weeks we were in class, with lectures about how to do “Culture and Language Acquisition”. Basically how to live in such a way that you are involved in people’s lives, building relationships, sharing experiences with them, and using those shared experiences to learn language and culture.
This is our language helper Khady and her family as we eat in the traditional senegalese way. Khady is teaching us Wolof which is a trade language in senegal. We've had a blast with here and will miss her when this course is done in a couple weeks.
We are also getting ready to head home to Saskatchewan for Christmas!!! We are quite excited and counting down the days. We also will get to see Steve and Penny (Nate's brother and sister in law) who are in Indonesia as they come back for a short break.
Canoe trip in fall.
Mom & Dad visit! We went to a corn maze and it was much better than you would think! ( sorry mom & Dad, that's the only pic I could find =)
