Family Fotos

Here are a few photos of our family in Gorom-Gorom:

Above: La Grande Famille. Lynne and I, squinting into the sun with our family, with whom we live in our shared yard in Gorom-Gorom. They have been such a blessing to us both as we started our married life in Burkina Faso.

Below Left: Seydou and Monique's Family: Back row: Chantale, Olivia, Sara. Sitting: Seydou and Monique. Front row: Timothee.
Below Right: Pierre and Asetu's Family: Back row: Bertha, Denise, Naomi. Seated: Asetu and Pierre. Front row: Lasala, Deborah, Samuel.

Please pray for Seydou, Monique, Pierre, Asetu and the rest of our family.
Thank you.

And Finally...
We also have one new member of the family, recently "saved":

Winston the goat was destined to be eaten with four others for our "wedding feast" in Gorom-Gorom. But he turned out to be so friendly, that his life was spared, and he was presented instead to Lynne as a pet.

Pierre's observation was that Winston is a spiritual lesson for us all: his gentleness not only drew people to love him but also saved him from death...

Asetu will be looking after him until we return sometime next year.
