On the road again

After an 8.5 hour van drive Bethany, Dr. Hare, and I are comfortably settling into Ouaga for a few days. The missionaries and some local Burkinabe students (even one of our kids at the Center who lives very far away, is blind, and walked by himself to our house with moments to spare) came to see us off this morning at 6AM. It was difficult to say good-bye and leave those we have grown to love, but we are encouraged that through prayer and e-mail we will continue to partner and say intouch with them. We are super thankful for the non-rain-filled but cool travel day!

For dinner, we headed over to the International School of Ouagadougou... so nice not to have to cook or clean a meal! So with Burkina stlye American food, including chocolate milk shakes, in our stomachs we are almost ready to call it a day. We all shared laughs as the waiter miss-understood Dr. Hare as he brought out double the food Dr. Hare ordered. Four plates and two drinks later, Dr. Hare announced that she had eaten tonight's dinner and tomorrow's breakfast. ;) Bethany and I did help her out a bit with the fries. ;)

Due to the incredibly slow and sporadic internet here, we plan to blog again either Sunday or Monday before we head to the airport Monday night (Bethany and I fly out in the early hours of Tuesday and Dr. Hare later on Tuesday). From now until then we will be walking around the city, possibly biking to a small park, working on our project documentations for future teams, exploring the Ouaga market, interacting with the missionaries here in Ouaga, and attending a church on Sunday. Although we will all miss not working with the kids tomorrow (they are use to a half day on Saturdays and we continued that schedule) we are looking forward to not setting an alarm to be ready by 6AM.

So thankful for each one of you! Praying that your evening is filled with God Sightings!

Katie :)
