While Henk is still in the shop finishing a project, I packed our back packs for a 4 day trip to Burkina Faso where we will spend time with my niece and her husband, Myriam and Stephane Gigandet, who work as missionaries for SIM (www.sim.ch) in Burkina Faso's capital, Ouagadougou. I know they are anxiously and excitedly awaiting our arrival tonight.
While in Ouagadougou we will also visit the Wycliffe/SIL center. Who knows where we might end up on a next trip??
Dakar was VERY cool this morning (21C). Getting ready to paint railings I had to go back to our apartment to get a sweater. Once the sun comes out, it is just fine. Ouagadougou's temperature looks a lot like the temperature we experienced last year in Chad around 35 C.
Since we will not have ready access to the internet, we will leave our lap top in Dakar and hope to send an update as soon as we return to Dakar Sunday night.
We trust that this trip will be an encouragement to Myriam and Stephane - and by extension to my sister :) - as their vision is to help girls who come off the streets by teaching them new skills that will help them in their future.
