We Leave Tomorrow!
Hello Friends and Family, What a whirlwind this summer has been thus far! We are amazed and a bit dizzy by all that has taken place over the past few months, but here we are, more or less ready to fly out to Dakar tomorrow. Here's a brief timeline of the past couple months and what is to come- TeachBeyond Orientation, 6/17-6/23: In Wheaton, Illinois near Chicago. It was a GREAT week of connecting with other families and individuals that will be working at different schools all over the world (we even met the PE teacher from our school, Dakar Academy...he will be Reid and Sam's teacher). We gained a better sense of TeachBeyond's mission to use education worldwide to share the love of Jesus. We received great teaching as well as practical instruction from people with a vast experience working overseas. There was even a kid's program that helped our kids prepare as well! End of June-mid-July: Packing, packing, packing! Ya...
