Tad's Life

Well, I took a few photos over the last couple days, but none of them turned out noteworthy enough to add a blog. This shot, for instance, of my basketball shoes and socks was meant to illustrate some comment about my Sunday afternoon game with the other adults over at DA. It's not much of a shot and it's not exactly interesting information. Ah, well.

Yesterday was fairly low key. Balla preached in Wolof and that continues to be a really wonderful experience. I'm understanding most of the gist of the messages; they are good messages; and it is like a dream come true that he is doing it in Wolof as we discussed and worked for for so many years!

In the evening we got to talk to Frankie and Anna. That was good. We're really appreciating the contact, even if we sometimes talk about heavy topics! Anna is in her first year of teaching and is working way too many hours and feeling the burden of figuring things out as you go. Her mom, of course, is in the same boat. More than once in the last weeks we've eaten popcorn and hotdogs or stopped at a fast-food place on the way back from a late evening at school.

We also got Allison's blog address and I've added it here. Frankie told me he finds out more details about Allison's life from her blog than from regular conversation. I plan to become a regular reader. :)
