Our New Names (given by host families)

Anna = Bintu Kone
George = Salim Coulibaly

*next time you see us, we will only respond to the above
**we will also respond to TOUBABU! which is what all children yell at anyone who is white, and they think you are French in general if white and will say Bon Soir regardless of the time of day

We are happy and healthy, back here at the training center for two days with electricity, running water, and silverware.  GI tracts are also working well!

  2. I am sorry to have missed your departure date by arriving in Mpls a tad too late. Sure missed my venture and visit over to The Spa Cunningham, but I will probably pass on visiting you in your new digs for now :) You are so in my thoughts and prayers for a safe and healthy and soulful journey.

  3. How about a phonetic rendition? Is it "Kone" like a snow cone; something you guys won't see for a while!? We miss you and think of you often. Dad
