There is a natural bridge located outside the city limits of Bamako. It looks a lot like Prescott, Arizona. It was fun to see a place that reminded us so much of Arizona!
We are currently studying another language that is spoken here in Mali called Bambara. We began our classes two months after we arrived and will complete this introduction next week. Learning another language has been a challenge as it is being taught in French, but God is so faithful and we are learning!
Here are a few words for fun:
Jesus - Yesu
Lord - Matigi
Good morning - I ni sogoma
Good evening - I ni wula
Goodbye - K'an ba
Yesterday - ka bo
Today - bi
Tomorrow - ka na
Monday - ntenen
Tuesday - tarata
Wednesday - araba
Thursday - alamisa
Friday - juma
Saturday - sibiri
Sunday - kari
car - mobili
pen - biki
children - denw
man - ce
woman - muso

Say hello to your family: Ka n b'u fo!
Do you understand Bambara? I be bamanankan men wa?
Whose idea was it to build the Tower of Babel?

It was awesome to read through your blog. What an adventure!
We miss you guys! We are moving up to Prescott this weekend for another summer of camps.
Todd, Susan, Bridget, and T.J.,
I enjoyed your blogspot, as well as your video you sent Mom. It was cool to see your new home.
Everything here in Arkansas is going well. Ben and Jamey are doing fine. I am going to Michigan in a few weeks to go fishing in Canada so I'm looking forward to that.
I'll check back in later.
Take care.
Wayne
