Welp, …

Here we go, another blog.  The only time we (I) start a blog is when our family is about to embark on another adventure.  First it was Korea, then the Philippines.  When people first found/find out that we took teaching jobs in Nigeria, the most common reaction is, “Wow, that’s very exciting and different.  Why do you want to do it?”  It’s a natural enough response.  Sometimes I’ll get the token “I’d love to do that” response or “You’re so brave” or something similar.

Well, you know how when you start to be asked a question over and over, and eventually you just fall into the routine of giving the same answer to everyone?  My standard answer to the ‘why?’ question is this: there’s just too much world out there.  We have a hard time sitting still because we love the exploration and the learning experience of having our worldviews expanded.

So yep, we’re going to Africa in July.  And nope, this isn’t an April fool’s joke.
