We left Ouagadougou early this morning and drove about 6 hours (southwest) to Diebougou. This is where we will bestaying for the next six days and traveling to a different village each day. I was able to locate batteries for the solar power unit before we left the city and will be installing it on Saturday at the churchs' youth center in Kpakpara. So many are excited about this because it will not only give the kids more time to learn about God, but also to study French and play games and other activities to keep them off the streets at night. Teen pregnancy and alcohol abuse is a very big problem here.
After arriving, we unpacked the truck and had dinner. The orphans got home from school shortly after that and did their homework and bathed.
I new the children were getting ready for bed and each one stopped by to say good-nite to me. As I settled into my reading, I looked up and they had all gathered in a circle, held hands and were saying their prayers. They were praying in French and Dagara and I could only pick out a few words that I knew but they were all very thankful for the things God had done for them today.
Tomorrow we get up early and head to the village of Naro about an hours drive. Holly will be speaking to the ladies to encourage them with their walk with God.
Please continue to pray for us as we pray for you!
