A great day of worship today but I still have much to do to get ready for Africa. The church prayed for us today and laid hands on us and annointed us in preparation for our trip.  It's always a humbling experience when your church prays for you.  Blessed to be a part of Northwest UMC, lots of love going around today.

We are taking 190# of "hot shots" with us to distribute to the local pastors in the villages that we are visiting.  These "hot shots" (cattle prods) are used to treat venomous snake bites.  Evidently, we are not sure how it works, but it does.  It also helps build trust with the local pastors in the villages.

We have loaded up on all kinds of things to take with us for our hosts. We have hundreds of pillow case dresses, peanut butter, hard candy, diapers, rubber pants, sewing needles, thread, flavored cream, coffee, coffee makers, a used lap top, syrup, and oh so many other items to bring a little bit of "home" to our hosts.

Please continue to pray for our team and what God will accomplish through us in Burkina Faso.  Pray for our safety and the God will reveal wondrous things to us as we are faithful to our call to go to Burkina Faso.

Thank you for following along with me on my latest journey.
