The Final Stretch in Dakar!

Only 9 more days here in Dakar until we move on to the villages for the remainer of the trip! This past week has been full of excitement and fun. This past weekend our whole team went out to Goree Island which is this small isalnd right off the coast of Dakar. It was so beautiful and a great day retreat for our team. We all got some great souveniers and some amazing food. This past friday we had our first party in which we invited all of our contacts to. It was a dance party which started off slow but once our friends started coming (about an hour late) it really took off. Everyone had such a great time and all of our contacts got to listen to some American music I know they are not used to. I feel like that party and just our time on campus everyday has been so beneficial. We all have gotten so close to our contacts which makes sharing the gospel with them so much easier. And the more I get closer with them makes me want to continue to share the gospel with them so many more times. Also realizing that we only have 6 days left on campus makes me want to pursue all the guys so much more. However, we are having another party this Friday where we will be watching the first match of the World Cup. I think that I am sharing my testimony at this party so please pray that the Holy Spirit will guide me in my words and show me to the right things to say. Also please continue to pray for all my contacts (Jamil, Marcel, Amadou, Tidiane, "Obama") and everyone on my team. Pretty much everyone has been sick in some sort whether it's malaria or dehydration but everyone I believe is getting to be 100% so praise God for that. Thanks for the prayers and I will try to get on before next Thursday since after that I think that we will no longer be able to get internet.
