The past two weeks have been spent in branch conference for SIL and spring break for Bamako Christian Academy. Since spring break was rather dull I will try to let you peak into the branch conference a little bit. First imagine people from 6-10 language groups getting together to socialize and to plan. The first week involved local workers and cooperating pastors who mostly speak in their tribal language or in French. All meetings the first week were in French with some interpretation. Singing is definitely a talent that God did not think I needed. Singing in French was way out of my capabilities. The second week was mostly in English with other languages thrown in when the person needed to express something that they did not have the English words to express.
I got to meet the workers from other parts of Mali and from Ivory Coast (Cote D'Voire). Even with the language barrier I have enjoyed getting to know them.
