Ougadougou, Burkina Faso

We are now in Burkina Faso for the two week school Colt will attend.  I realized tonight that within about two weeks we have slept in: Colleyville, Fort Worth, an airplane, Accra, Tamale, Nalerigu, and now Ougadougou.  That's seven different places, three different countries. 

We enjoyed another Thanksgiving meal tonight with more missionaries here in Ouga.  There are quite a few children here so Colt will enjoy getting to know them.  We got to worship tonight with these folks and what a drink for our thirsty souls it was.  

We traveled all day and are glad to be here.  We had to wait at the Burkina Faso border for an hour or so as they were closed for lunch!  

We have seen the hand of God on us even in taking illness away in the midst of praying against it.  

We went through the belongings of a missionary family that was in Nalerigu before us in the last couple of days, deciding what might be helpful to keep.  I excitedly chose paint colors to have the inside of the house painted, as well.  I look forward to decorating, naturally!  

We still don't know anything about our trunks.  So, we will stock up on diapers while here in Ouga, among other things.  Colt's school books are also in those trunks.  We'll have to go to Plan B if they don't show up before long!  

I think I've mentioned this, but in Nalerigu we have to go to the schoolhouse to use the internet.  So we are not as often on line most of the time now.  And the connection is not always good. We are definitely thankful to have access to the internet, though.
