2011 - Crew - They are Posted

We can only imagine the excitement that the 2011 Crew had learning where their Post would be. It must be seeming more and more real to each of them as the training part of the program is winding down and the placements have been made. In a short conversation with Will this week, he laid out one more week of training, one week at the post and then two additional weeks back in the training camp. We worked this afternoon trying to upload a Niger Map so we could visualize the city that the crew member would be close to. (Karen, do you have any pointers?) The postings made it more real to John and me too. We took a deep breath as he spoke about his village and detailed his living conditions. We don't know that growing up in Old East Dallas prepared him for life in West Africa. He seemed however most content with his placement. Therefore we applaud him and keep him on the prayer list... along with the rest of the Crew of 2011 who have so selfishly made the decision to serve the families of Niger.

This week remember not to share their exact location (Will spoke to his Dad and the Peace Corp thought exact locations should be between kids and families), but update us on their post,close to a city, bush, electricity, water, their job, their thoughts, and yours....
