I have 5 min to write.
Things are going really well for the moment. The transition was a heck of a lot easier because i knez what I was doing and what to expect.
Getting into work seems to be going fairly well, if only a day in. We'll see how planning goes when it comes to arranging things to get down to the villages.
The geckhos are giganti now. All the babies have grown.
The temperatures is about 30 something degrees, all sunshine. But, really, itùs not too bad.
Ive made changes to how I approach people and how I am. I, currently wearing capris. I wouldnt have done that before, and mite change for when I got to the villages. But really, peple adapt, and provided its not offensive, and thats the key obviously, then youre good to go.
Ive also kept in my earings. This hasnùt been a problem in the city so far. People are warm and friendly, and I had a great time shopping for food in the market today. On the flip side, Ill be pretty careful about earings when I go to the villages. Ill first see how pezople react, according to the advice of the National Director here, and then make a judgement from that.
But ya, I cant complain about things except when theres no water or electricity, but there are ways around both, and its really not bad at all.
Once I make friends, then were good to go.
Its a blessing to be here for the moment, and I want to make the most of this opportunity. Pray that I focus on my work, my relationships, and the Lord for guidance through it all. I was encouraged by a special someone to trust the Lord through this, so we'll see where that takes me.
Hope you're all doing well back home.

Hey Alex!
Good to hear from you! We are thinking of you here in Canada and are praying that God's peace will surround you as you re-familiarize yourself with Senegal.
PS. The deleted comment was me by accident... oops!
