My beautiful cousin who also happens to be a beautiful mom… Welcome to the world Urijah
That grandma will get to meet Urijah
The phone call to say you have a letter waiting to be picked up
When you walk in to a room to schedule a meeting (for the enth time) and the person you want to meet is standing right in front of you and says, “Oh! Mercy Ships! Come with me!”
When office camping pays off and that the Customs building provides a little exercise to keep me fit
Sushi dinner… and not getting sick later that night or the next day
Eight weeks until sneaky coffee
Pool, podcast and FanIce with the girls
An extra mattress to sleep on when my bed needed to be taken apart and treated for carpenter ants
Knowing the CBSP team won’t have to deal with carpenter ants and water shortages because we took care of it
That we get to make this place a home for the CBSP team
Our handyman, Alex, who put our beds back together after they were sprayed for bugs
Our little buddy Mael and his big smile and wave when I come home
Receiving special authorization to the airport and getting to start building connections with the Immigration officers
Safe arrival of the Second Element and smooth sailing through the entry process
All five cars registered and on the road!
A quiet friend in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
New contacts at the airport
Thoughtful notes that made it from Mada to Benin and the well timed encouragement
A Beautiful Wander
