Friendly encouragment

On Friday, we welcomed some of our best friends to Niger. They came to experience Niger....to see how we live and what we do. We have enjoyed some sight seeing but mainly just "living life". They have eaten the local fare, rode camels and a pirogue....visited a village and eaten with a Nigerien family, visited various markets and even observed a few surgeries. Mainly their visit has been an encouragement! What a wonderful thing! Here are a few highlights.....miss you Kim, Paish and Amy and of course all the kiddos....enjoy some of these pics!
College buddies, came from PA  to hang out and see what life is like here.
Beautiful view of the sunset
from the Dunes
Atop the sand dunes the guys chatted and strategized
about how they might change the world!
3 wise men??
This guy was more interested in eating.....
than being a beast of burden 
or the days entertainment.
We took a pirogue ride to catch a glimpse
of some hippos and visit the village of Kanazi.
Hippos.....
one was a little close for comfort....
Leron and Drew thought
we were going to glide right over it!
love love love holding hands
with the little ones at Kanazi
mmmmmm, a yummy snack
more kids at the village, such gracious hosts and hostesses

a short "tour" of Niger's only golf course.... sand traps a plenty....
