Busy, Busy without the Internet

Hello friends and family,

So, the internet has been very patchy and often not working at all. This is the reason I haven't posted in awhile. But, it is working today so I figured I'd catch you up on what I have been doing lately.

In the end of October, I had the wonderful opportunity to go to a women's retreat in Bamako, Mali. It was wonderful to be back in Mali again and to see friends there. I got out for a little hiking one day which was very nice as well. The day we went hiking was gorgeous! As for the women's retreat, the worship and speaking sessions were amazing! I really grew closer to God throughout the time spent there.

Also, we spent more time gathering teaching supplies to bring back to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso with us.

Back in Ouaga, I attended an art fair which people from all over Africa come show off their trades and art. It was an amazing experience to see different cultures and art. The food you see below is a common food that is cooked and sold in Ouaga known as bruchettes. 

I must end with the most important thing I have been doing and that is teaching. I really feel blessed to be teaching missionary children here in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. I know I am making an impact on Bible Translation by teaching school for the children. Praise God that He is using me in the place He needs me to be!

Thank you for your prayers and support. I feel truly blessed for this opportunity to touch the lives of the missionary children of Mali and Burkina Faso. Together, you and I are making a difference in their lives. Thank you! I am praying for you and your families.

May you have a Happy Thanksgiving and may God bless you!
