Maybe we've been quiet for a while, but it's mostly because internet prices in Congo just recently increased five times what they had been. And so we're putting off doing things on the internet (like posting a bunch of pictures of the trip we took last week) because we're about to have good, unlimited internet...in the "developed" world!
We leave for seven weeks in Brussels tomorrow! We'll be doing intensive French language study there at a language school. We've been in Congo almost eight months, but this is the soonest my job would allow us to get away to do focus on this essential skill. We're hopeful about coming back with a lot more confidence in our French ability.
It comes at a good/bad time. Good because it will be nice to have a break from the stress of life and work in Congo; Bad because there are a lot of unexpected challenges due to unexpected changes in our MCC team in Eastern Congo. Please keep my colleague, Serge, in your prayers as he's running the entire MCC Eastern Congo ship here for two months!
I'm sure we'll post all those pictures and stories before long, but for now, just wanted to say "bon voyage!" and more later.
