On Thursday, May 27th I boarded a boat in Ziguinchor, Senegal for an overnight ride to Dakar. Upon arrival in Dakar the next morning I went to the airport to meet Jessica Mengle who was arriving to spend a week with the YES team in Catel. Jessica is a trainer for YES from Harrisburg, Pa. Once I got her on board the returning boat to Ziguinchor I was free to get an early morning flight to Dulles, finally arriving in Harrisburg, Pa. and greeted by my sister Anna Mae Weaver.
While I am in the U.S. Bob & Anna Mae Weaver are my primary hosts. They spare nothing to see that my stateside stay goes well and they help me to get done the things I need to do while in North America. (Not to mention Anna Mae's wonderful cooking!)
These two weeks while I am in the Lancaster area are filled with Dr. appointments, check-ins with EMM and preparation for my travels to the West coast. I leave on that trip June 11th. You are invited to follow my travels and read my goofy commentary as I two-wheel my way west on a Yamaha Majesty 400 scooter.
If you want to know a whole bunch more about our work in Guinea Bissau go to WJTL Radio website and click on West Africa School Project. Lisa Landis, one of their DJ's spent a couple weeks with us in Gambia and Guinea Bissau. There you will find several photo albums and videos about the Mennonite mission in those two countries.
You can also listen to a follow-up interview Lisa did with me to be aired on WJTL Wed. June 9th from 9-10 am and Thurs. June 10th 7-8 am. Both interviews can be called up online at WJTL after those dates.
