Dear Friends and Family,
Things are quiet here today after our exciting not so pleasant Christmas season. The new government seems to be doing OK. We are still watching and waiting to see what is going to happen. Basically life in Cote d'Ivoire is back to normal.
It won't be quiet here after tomorrow. The kids arrive tomorrow, and classes start on Wednesday. We haven't heard of any students not returning due to the coup, but we won't be real surprised if some don't show up.
Please be in prayer for those who will be traveling tomorrow, especially for those who have to go through Abidjan. Also, pray for the parents, as it will be even harder for them to leave their children here with the uncertainties.
Thanks so much for all of your prayers during this time. We have been safe and mostly unaffected by the coup at ICA. Pray that this continues.

In Christ,
Traci
