March 15: Preparing to return to the US

I had a nice time today reconnecting with friends we made while we lived and worked in Burkina Faso. I saw several people at church this morning whom I hadn't yet seen since I arrived in the country. Then I treated a family of Belgian friends to lunch at a new restaurant they introduced me to: The Cappuccino. We had a great time catching up on events that have transpired in each of our lives over the past several years.

For the evening meal, I was invited to Jacques Malo's home, where I got to see the rest of his family for the first time in a few years, as well.
