Sunday

This will probably be the final posting to the blog.  Today is Sunday, and we will be worshiping with the congregation in the Dakar church this morning.  Afterwards, we will have a meeting with Pastor Joe Bleck and Bill Gibson to debrief on our visit and plan about how we will pursue sharing our experiences at home and returning in the future.  This afternoon, Carol and Tom will get a ride to Mbour for a planned three-day vacation there.  Shopping is on the agenda for others in the group.  Late this evening, Joanne, Tania, Lynea, Troy, and Tony will head for the airport and catch flights at 1am and 2am home to the US.  Carol and Tom will catch similar flights on Thursday morning.

 
We have had a wonderful experience together in Senegal and are encouraged by the energy and vision of the congregations, lay preachers, and pastors.  Bill and Gwen Gibson have been gracious hosts and have made our stay both meaningful and fun.  I am sure that we will return soon.
