About Us

Back in the day, the old-days of the New Testament, it was honorable to be a disciple. It was so honorable, in fact, that a disciple would leave everything: house, friends, and family to learn to be exactly like the rabbi. During these times a blessing developed: “May you be covered in the dust of your rabbi.” Right out of college, two girls decided to pursue the call to teaching in Africa. They invite you to join their words and thoughts as they shake the dust of their chacos off on their blog, hoping to reveal to you all that God is revealing to them.

Tranquil Till's

Yes, finally a post!!! :)
School is back in session! Day one was not nearly as hectic as we had anticipated, and the rest of the week went by better than expected. I hope this trend is carried through this coming week...


Lizziey's friend Hannah arrived last Saturday and she has been helping us out in the school, which is awesome! I cannot see how I would've managed to get my B3 kids into the computer lab (you know, without them killing each other) on Friday without her help. Also, because Hannah is here we feel more adventurous, so we even decided to go to the beach this Saturday.


It was our first time at Till's, so after some short tro-tro and taxi rides, we arrived at the gate of the Till's Hotel. Lizziey and I had no idea that the beach was actually the hotel's beach! Needless to say we were pleasantly surprised; especially when we saw that the beach was deserted, save one lonesome obruni, which was perfect for us! So we swam (or more like waded) and lounged to our heart's content on our own private beach....







... and even discovered some treasures hidden in the sand...











...and others hidden among the rocks.


















As we got up to leave in search of food, the beach was almost immediately invaded by a large group of people (presumably a school). Classic perfect timing! We decided to eat at the hotel's restaurant, and the food was excellent, even though some of the menu titles were harmlessly misleading....





God Bless,

  2. I am so happy to know that you had this refreshing and calming experience. It looks like you were both pampered with a heavenly blessing... Love the photos and the way you narrate incorporating them in between your ideas... May your friend Hannah be covered with abundant blessings for her caring and true friendship! te amo, mama
