Off to Dakar (by Thom)

Amanda and I are leaving tonight for Dakar, Senegal. Senegal is one coutry to the west of Mali. We'll be there until our return March 17th. I have a conference which will occupy our second week there. We're using the first week as vacation. It will be our first time to travel outside Mali! Dakar is right on the Atlantic Ocean, we we hope to dip our toes in the water. By all accounts we've heard, it should be much cooler in Dakar than Mali. Lately it has been about 100 degrees each day in Bamako. Dakar should be about 75! Please pray for our safety in our traveling, as well as for blessing in the conference of African bookkeepers.
