Mom has been waiting for the blog entry to get put up today. She saw that you added pictures this morning and we knew what you were doing at that moment. :)
Michael Phelps won 8 Gold Medals out of the 8 he was trying for! One was an extremely close and exciting race as he won by .01! I wish you could have been watching with us.
Talk to you a little later today and enjoy your internet access!
Thanks for all the great new pictures!! The explanations were appreciated too since we were wondering what your friends were eating in those pictures. It is nice to see everything so green too. The rainy season makes Senegal look like a whole beautiful new country.
The adorable Senegalese kids look happy to be in your pictures. You seem to have a collection of little critters too.
Have fun with your last week of training. What are they teaching you besides new languages?
Hope you are well and happy.
Love,
Mom and Dad
Sorry about the
lack of haikus. Sometimes brains
need to take a rest.
I love how many
crazy languages you speak.
And all your typos ;-)
I finally had
A job interview. I'll let
you know what happens.
Other than that, not
really much going on here.
Refrigerator.
Sorry I needed
five syllables. Anyways,
love you and miss you!

Hi Bethany,
I hope you get this, cause I'm not sure that I am doing this properly. I never wrote anything in a blog b4.
Anyway, WOW, what an experience living in another country...ey?
Pretty awsome, but hrad at times, but I am always excited for you in all your adventures. The rest of us can live vicariously thru your worldly travels.
Well, the USA topped everyone with in total medals, but you have probably heard that from your Dad? China got the most gold medals & sorry, but Senegal didn't win any...not since 1988 & that was silver.
Take care...I'll be praying for you & I think about you all the time & brag about you any time i get the chance to.
Love you....Uncle Mark
