Since about a week ago, we have a new ball of fur bounding around our yard. His name is Mountie, very fitting, I would say, for a guard dog. A Canadian guard dog at that! He’s about 2 months old, and way too cute to scare anyone off yet! Don’t believe me? Then see for yourself:

This is an album, click on it to see lots of pictures of Mountie, and us

Yay for photos again! I nabbed my Dad’s camera to snap off these shots. It’s been too long.

Mountie is currently apprenticed to Jasmine, our ‘expert’ guard. She does get a little frustrated with his playful antics, though!

Well, this week did not exactly start off on the right foot. We’ve been having bad powercuts for about a week now…like 6-8 hours a day, pretty consistantly. Well, yesterday beat them all, 15 hours from 6:30 until 21:30. To top it off, our whole family was sick, so that made for a lovely time. We basically sat around the house, too tired to move, read, and played card games. We’re all feeling much better today, but we had another killer power cut, this one a bit more than 15 hours. It is currently 2:35 in the morning, as we are up making use of the power we now have.
We’re surviving, but not quite sure how we’re going to keep up if this continues.
Your prayers would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Trevor

As you may have noticed, I have changed the main page of my website from it’s old splashyness, to a more practical design.

It has a few rough spots in Internet Explorer, mainly the gray squares around the pretty stars. All I have to say is that, if you haven’t already, Get Firefox.

Anyways, enjoy the stuff I’ve posted their, such as my writing, and website pages.

Yesterday my dad bought those fateful tickets which will carry me across the across the ocean in a few months. This is making me think more and more about leaving and goodbyes here. That’s definitely the downside of living an MK life. It’s going to be a huge change going back to Canadian culture, which I’ve been away from for basically all my teen years, but the biggest change will be leaving my family. The combination of Homeschooling and living here in Dakar has drawn us together, and it’s hard to imagine being apart.

Despite the hardship of leaving, however, these years in Senegal have been wonderful, memory-filled years which I wouldn’t give up for anything.
