Getting ready to go back

So I am heading back to Niger again this November.  My blog last year seemed to be a good way to keep people updated, so I am going to try to do the same thing this year.  If you need a refresher - last year's blog is at johniniger2016.blogspot.com

I had to renew my passport as it was to expire soon after I return from Niger.  I was a bit concerned because I have to send the new one off to the US to get my visa for Niger.  I just got the new passport last week, and sent it of to Washington DC.  Apparently it is in the Niger consulate getting stamped, so hopefully I will have it back before I leave.

There has been lots of preparation for going back for a month.  The flights are booked, I have an appointment with the travel doctor next week, and the packing will start soon.  I am hoping to share some pictures with you like I did last year so stay tuned.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
