This past week has been uneventful as we continue settling in; we’re still in our ‘temporary’ housing and probably will be throughout November. At that point we hope to move into an apartment building where 5 other staff families from ICA are living. Dakar Academy is glad to get ‘control’ of this building as it is close to the school and will make excellent staff housing for next year.
Some have asked for our new e-mail address. You can continue to use the same e-mail address, lgillespie@ica.ed.ci, or use the one on the bottom of our prayer card, bobnloisgillespie@hotmail.com. We get your e-mails either way.
Last week we asked you to pray about the need to move our car from where it was being stored in Abidjan. We received news today that our ‘escape pod’ has been moved to another location. We also asked you to pray that the UN would establish headquarters on our ICA campus in Bouake. Six UN workers are living there now, although the main group has not relocated to ICA. As the French will be leaving by the middle of December (they want to be home for Christmas), we would like to see these details worked out. Please continue to pray for this.
Thanks again for your prayers.
