Pop Quiz!!!!!!!

We have spent two weeks in Charlotte, NC training for the mission field with SIM.  What has happened during these two weeks?  Let's find out.

Which one of the following statements is false?

1.  We got shots the day we arrived.

2.  We talked with someone from Senegal everyday.

3.  We skyped a missionary in Singapore.

4.  We learned about computer security.

5.  We ate dessert after lunch and dinner everyday.

6.  We wrote our first newsletter.

7.  We signed Fred and Wilma Flintstone up to receive our newsletter.

8.  We shared our testimony in Chapel service.

9.  We discussed the cost of purchasing a car in Senegal (and then picked ourselves up off the floor)

10. We went swimming.

I'll leave you with a little suspense as I share a few pictures of our fantastic, fully packed two weeks.

On Saturday, a group of us hiked up Crowder's Mountain

The kids were just as busy as we were.  They finished their school workeach morning and spent the afternoons learning about Senegal.  They learned about the food, the traditional tea, the flag, and the map.  Here they are dressed up in traditional Senegalese dress. 

I know you are all waiting in suspense for the answer or maybe have a bet going with your spouse, ... the last statement is false (#10).  I know #7 seems obviously false, but we did sign The Flinstones up to receive our newsletter in our training program.  So what did we do these two weeks at Simco?  We received training, encouragement and new friendships.  Thank-you all who prayed for us.
