Arrival

YES! I made it to dakar and then to theis (pronounced "chess") safe and sound. Today was one of the longest days of my life- not because it was a bad day or anything but because so much has happened in such a short amount of time! I feel like I have been here for a week- at least. We had our staging in dc, which is just a long orientation, then headed to the airport the next day. We got to theis at maybe 9am? Then it was breakfast, nap, lunch, and tons of information. Tomorrow we have interviews and such to find out where we stand on language capabilities and technical skills. I am safe and happy... so mom, you can breathe a little tonight. Love you all and will update soon with pictures and more details.....

    God is so good! I am so glad you had a chance to let us hear from you. Know that you are in our hearts and on our minds every minute. You have many people praying for you. I am so proud of you. Take care of yourself. And I will try really hard to breathe a little but no promises....

    I love you,
    Mom
