Greetings from Burkina Faso again!

Hello,
I arrived to Burkina Faso this past Friday. In two days, I set up my classroom and got it ready for 21 students! The first day of school was this past Monday.

First week of teaching is going well. It has been a busy week for sure! I am still dealing with jet lag...haven't slept more than 3-4 hours at night...Please pray that I will get back into a somewhat normal sleeping pattern soon so I can continue to be the best teacher I can be for my students. I am surprised I have made it this far with such little sleep the past 5 nights.
It feels great to be back in Burkina Faso. I have already paid many visits to missionary children, missionary friends and Burkinabe friends. I told many of you stories of my friend Pauline (she had sewn the tutus for the dancers)...I was able to "catch up" with her and spend some time with her in her shop. I look forward to visiting the orphanage soon too.
I will be in touch soon.
Blessings,
Rebecca Oryniak
