So I added a little blurb about me... for those of you who don't actually know me - but I'm pretty sure most of you do. Oh well.
Check out the Ben & Jerry’s! A little bit of Vermont here – don’t mind the fact that it is a single serving size and it is roughly $4.00!
Things have been a bit overwhelming here… this time is definitely a lot different that the first! So much responsibility! But I’m learning and eventually hope to settle into my role here.
News…
The first team that was scheduled to come out had problems with their visas and didn’t end up coming! Not cool… we’re still trying to figure out the why on this issue.
We’ve been in Francais (French) for most of the month of February. It has been really neat because our teacher is teaching us some of the common sayings that the Gabonese use:
“On est ensemble” – we’re together, keep in touch
“Ah, bon” – oh really?
“Revenons a nos moutons” – back to the subject (literally back to our sheep!)
When we use these with our Gabonese friends they are so excited and are so proud of us!
Joe and Megan have been at school (over in Cameroon) for the past two months! I hadn’t seen them since I left last year! Joe’s grown two inches since Christmas! Megan is beautiful and growing up – so wish they could be kids forever! This is a picture of the three Straw kids from our plane flight together last year (Megan, Sam, & Joe). I have really missed them so it is great to see them again, even if it is only for a week!
Leanne...praying you will settle in to your new role and responsibility step by step. Asking the Father to step in daily to be your companion and your Guide and meet each need as it comes...
