Another Great Day with Mom & Dad

It was another great day....Dad and I started the morning at 7a fixing a leaky kitchen sink. By 9:30, we were out the door, heading to the beach! We arrived there by 11a....at Awale Plage (ah-wah-lee-plah-juh). It is a nice quaint beach resort near our house (less than 2 hours away) and even has a pool, too! We got to walk on the beach some and then grab a quick bite to eat at the restuarant. Then we had another hour in the pool. It was a quick trip but fun.

Mom bought some souvenirs at the market because today was Market Day. Grand total spent: $3. So much for radically boosting the economy!

We got back about 4p and then we were sitting down at Sossa's house by 5pm. Sossa (with wife Josephine, right) has worked for us for 6 years now...since the week we moved in to our home here in Benin. He is such a hard worker. He was so eager to host Mom and Dad to express his gratitude for all that we have done for him. I'll try and get Dad to guestblog about that meal experience tomorrow. It was a ton of food!! It came a downpour, and on the loud tin roof, we couldn't hear ourselves think for a long time! (it was much needed rain though).

We are all very tired after a long day...I've had some great conversations with Mom and Dad and I'm so thankful for each one. It is a blessing to have them in my home here in Africa!! God is good to all of us!!
