Bonfire

Roasting Hotdogs

Getting the fire started, also the taller African

times, she is 13 also.

Jolie and her massive ears ;)

Last Friday night we had a bonfire at with the other missionaries at our teammates house, which was alot of fun! :) We started rosted hotdogs and marshmellows, which we made Smores out of! After sitting outside for a while I decided to go in and watch basketball. ;) It's always alot of fun to go hang out with the other missionaries!

Most of our, well mainly my parents', time is learning French. Tomorrow they are having their first evaluation to see where they are.... so be in prayer for that! I feel like I'm learning quite a bit too.... since I don't have a teacher that speaks English so it's hard for me to learn past and future, but I can tell you alot in present tence. ;) One thing has been proven, you most likely won't learn a language fleuntly just for the fun of it, you have to have a reason! Our's is that people may know Jesus!

Tonight we are celebrating our missionary friend's birthday by going bowling (African version... they say the lanes got some bumps in them, we will see ;) I will get pictures and add them!

Well this is all the "news" I can think of for a blog. ;) I'll try to get those pictures up of bowling soon. (African version of soon: around a week ;)

Miss you all,

Autumn

Hey Everyone!

The Basilica

Mom and Dad on Valentines Day night.

Well this time I have't blogged in forever! I'm sure your about to give up on looking at my blog. ;) My parents had church planting training a few weeks ago, and now we are back in the swing of things... right now that is called French. We can tell we have been improving. I don't really have a formal teacher like Mom and Dad do.... mine is a African lady that speaks only French (no English) and she's great!

As you seen on my parents' blog that we went to the Basilica.... it was huge! I don't like elevators, so I didn't go up to the top of it. ;) I've added some pictures of it. We went to the beach yesterday also.... I love the beach! The waves are still to high to get far out into it.... but it fun just sticking your feet in it. That is one thing a love about Abidjan!

Oh... and don't let me forget about our rat that runs around the house, or was that a puppy? Which ever one I think she's great! She grown alot since the picture on my parents' blog. She is a very good puppy.... she actually likes the box she is staying in! She only wakes me up about once in the night to go out. If we could only train her not to bite ;) but i guess that will come in time.

Tomorrow we are meeting with the West Africa schooling consultant. That will give us an idea of what we may do this year. Most likely I will do an online school, but there is also an international school here in Abidjan.... but it's probally to far to drive this year.

Well this is about all I can think of to blog about ;) (I know it's been about a month and this is all!) Don't forget to come see us! We would love to have you come! We miss everyone!
