They made it! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa, James, and Sharon and family for the wonderful treats and gifts. We received your two packages when one of our directors came up to Koundara to see us and to go on a survey trip with us. We opened the package and left the next morning. We'll enjoy the treats when we get back. Elise was so excited to eat the gummies! We love the nice chocolate most. Thank you Thank you!

A pet monkey. No, not our pet monkey. They're too much work.

Randy, you wanted a pic of me in the hat. Here ya go. I'm fixing some pipes on our generator shed. Elise is watching from below.

Elise with our new puppy "Perdu" which means "lost" in French. He showed up at our house one night and one of our friends said that he would take him as a hunting dog if we raised him for a few months. Elise likes to play with him.
