Burkina Faso Mission Trip Update #1

Burkina Faso Mission Trip Update #1

This is Missouri writing on this blog for my dad while he's in Africa. I'll be giving you updates on what's happening over there. The team arrived in Paris, France this morning for the layover at 12:30 our time and at 8:30 A.M. France time. He told mom and I that he had about an hour of sleep on the floor of the Paris airport, and zero sleep on the 9 hour flight to Paris. (Poor dad!) They arrived in Burkina Faso at 12:30 P.M. (our time) and at 5:30 P.M. Burkina Faso time. They're in Ouagadougou now, they just had supper at 4:30 P.M. our time, and 9:30 P.M. their time. They're staying at the Baptist Mission tonight in Ouagadougou, which has air conditioning and beds! Tomorrow morning, they're leaving at around 7:00 (their time) (2 A.M. our time) to head to Bobo Dioulasso, and then they will catch another bus and ride a little over an hour to Badara, where they will be staying the rest of the time. Dad said that it's hot, windy and dusty there. The weather tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and have a high of 104 degrees and a low of 88 degrees. Dad told me that he read a few of the cards he received from our church family, and was blessed and encouraged. Pray for their safety as they travel tomorrow, and pray for the people that they will be soon witnessing to. Pray that the Sambla will have open hearts and ears for what God has to say to them. On behalf of my dad I would like to say a word of thanks to everyone for their support. I will be posting updates as I receive them.
