Final Day
Our last day in Niger. What a trip. Our journeys have filled our hearts with memories of a people hungry to hear the Truth. There has been plenty of smiles, laughter, dust, bumps, singing, acting, playing, and new perspectives for the entire team. Each of us has come away with a new appreciation for the work being done on the Mehanna road and the Songhai people.
In the morning, Brad and Sally came by to talk about our week and discuss next steps for future teams. Afterwards we had lunch at the Womble's and then Brad escorted the team on one final shopping excursion to the local markets. We then returned to the guest house to pack our bags for an early check-in at the airport. We arrived at the Air France office early and had to wait nearly an hour in line but were eventually able to get our boarding passes and baggage checked. Niamey's airport consists of exactly one gate although that generally means that the amount of visitors is kept to a minimum as they don't service many flights each day.
Upon returning to the guest house, we finished putting together our carry-on bags and then enjoyed dinner at a nice Lebanese restaurant across town. The food was quite good (a pasta fettuccine dish) and the chocolate mousse dessert was very tasty.
After dinner we came back to the guesthouse, gathered our bags and made our way to the airport. After one final last-minute round of buying things from the vendors inside the airport, we boarded the plane for a midnight departure. Paris, here we come.
In His service,
