Snapshots
Life has been busy here in Gorom-Gorom. I've not managed to get online all week till now. Yesterday's post was dictated to Steve on his laptop, which he then uploaded for me. A few snapshots from the last few days -
* Relaxing with Yusufi and his family on the sand dune, and sharing Christ with his Fulani neighbours. All my cows are doing well, and I have two new additions.
* Talking with J&S about their new association to help orphans
* Being constantly greeted by children by my Fulani name as I walk along the road: "foofo Diallo Adama!" - and having no idea whose children they are
* Being thanked by everyone for the grain that was sent and distributed. Apparently even the Imam was in the queue to get some
* Suddenly realising I had no idea where my return ticket was, and silently panicking until i found it again
* Being asked several times if I am merried yet, and when the answer comes in the negative being offered various daughters and sisters
* Talking with pastors and Christians about vision for the work here, and sensing that God is at work and speaking
* Seeing seriously ill children whose parents don't have the means to take them to the hospital
* Sweating constatnly in the heat!
On Tuesday we leave Gorom to head to Ouagadougou again. More soon...
