New clothes

To practice our French we went to the tailor and had some new outfits made so here are some pictures. Just so everyone knows I did get some fabric that is not green, just not much:)

The hospital

I had to see a doctor so that I could get a permit to live in Niger, the doctor visit cost me about $10. I went into His office he said what is your name and birthday, then he filled out the paper and signed for both doctors. So I now have my temporary permit. Here is a picture of the hospital.

Week One

This week has been very exciting and full of new things. These first days were field orientation so we have spent the week learning all about this area, were to buy food, were to get fabric. We also spent some time in the markets walking around seeing were to get things that we may need for our five month stay in Niamey. We also did some driving to the school were Rachel, Sarah and I will have language study, which I found out for sure yesterday that I will be driving us to for sure instead of us taking taxis. It has been hot here but not to bad yet, we were told one day this week that it got up to 104, so we still have 16 degrees to go. Thank you each that have lifted us up to the father this week. Please continue to lift us up as we go on in these next three weeks of our French language stud, and especially since I have to drive.
