Due to the craziness of the coup and the looming embargo, we are evacuating! We leave tomorrow morning bright and early and will drive to Dakar- about an 18 hour drive. We will be going with two other missionaries and will be well taken care of.
Our next steps are very unclear at this point. We will be waiting a week or two to see how this embargo effects Mali and whether it is a good idea to return. It will depend on the status of the school. We are packing with the assumption we cannot return- and we packed more than we thought we could! The luxury of driving means no weight limits on luggage!
Our hope is to use the time in Dakar well. First, we need to unwind and reflect- days at the beach, wandering the city, and conversing with fellow missionaries. Second we hope to connect with an MK school and offer our services at the school.
Please continue to pray for us- safety, endurance and peace. Also, pray for Mali. I have the privilege to leave when times are rough, but most do not. Pray that peace will be re-established without any more harm. God has this in his hands and knows what he is doing!
Bags are packed and ready to go!
It’s been a crazy few days!
But somehow we can still make ourselves laugh
