Project is going wonderfully so far. It is a lot of work and quite tiring but soooo rewarding. Everyday we walk to campus (about a 5-10 minute walk) and meet up with students from about 12-5pm. Most days I am meeting up with the same guys but sometimes people just walk up to us and start talking for instance today a student just walked into us and asked if we speak English so we responded yes and went to his dorm room and shared the gospel with him. I never thought talking about Jesus would be so easy. Everyone on the team has made some great contacts and we can really see God working in the students lives as they continue to ask about the Bible and continue to listen to what we have to say. Other than that we eat a lot and play football (soccer) a lot. We have played a couple of games against the students and locals which has been extremely fun and very tiring at the same time. It seems as if all Senegalese people workout throughout the course of the day. They run, lift, and play soccer whenever they have free time. This past weekend we went to "Magicland" which is Senegal's version of Six Flags and we often go to the beach which is about a 20 minute walk from our hotel. All of us enjoy the local food here which is very good! Yassa guinar (rice, chicken, and an onion sauce) is a personal favorite along with many other filling dishes. We are going to stay here in dakar for about 2 more weeks then we go to a village for about a week which is about a couple hours away where we will be showing the Jesus Film. After that we are going to go to an island nearby for debriefing then it is back to the states! That is it for now but I will try and put up another post soon. Please continue to keep my team, the students of Dakar, and myself in your prayers! Thanks so much and I hope you all are enjoying your cold drinks and traffic laws!
