New house, update

Mine at Fourou

This is our family on a field trip to the mine in Fourou. Tom & Laura Requadt arranged for us to have a mine tour. It made for a good homeschooling experience, and we enjoyed looking at piles of rock that are supposed to have gold in them.

We are making good progress on our house. We're hoping to be able to move in March 10-15th. Somewhere in there. We are so looking forward to it. We are ready to unpack cartons and get our stuff together, and feel like we're finally "home" somewhere.
This may not be a big deal to your family, but ours has moved 13 times in the last 9 years. That spells LOTS. So we're so excited to be installing ourselves here.
Here are some pics of the house we'll be renting. It is costing a bit of money to set it up with toilets, running water, and electricity. But the rent itself is $40/month.

We really want to thank the individuals and churches who gave generously to our house project. Those gifts made it possible to find a place for us.

Subject for prayer: Lisa and Hilary left on the bus to go to Bamako. They fly out of Bamako to Dakar, Senegal on Sunday. They are exploring the school there, to see if Hilary will be going there next year. This decision is very important to Hilary's future out here. We were hoping that a place would work out in the Bamako school, but it is not a boarding school, and we didn't find a family to take her in... So maybe Dakar is a solution. Hilary has lots of friends there, and there are families from ICA there. But Dakar is far away from here... Pray for us as we prayerfully make the decision about schooling.

Thanks again for stopping by to visit!
God Bless,
Tom & Lisa Seward
