Day 12 (June 26) - Ouagadougou to home
We visited the Ouagadougou Central Alliance Church and met Pastor Thomas. The church is a large one and was hosting Compassion children. Thomas shared his testimony and his heart for reaching Burkina. We also visited an Alliance elementary school before seeing the other side of Ouaga. Despite all the poverty in Burkina, there are those who are building huge homes across the street from mud huts. We also saw the President's home which is IMMENSE. It reminded us a little bit of America. After a great lunch at "Verdoyant," we went to the "Village Artisanale" for some souvenir shopping. We all were able to spend our money and do some bartering. Thank God for Kevin and Toby being such willing and able translators! We ran back to the guest house, loaded the van and headed to the airport. We said goodbye to Kevin and Toby and headed out for Seattle via Paris. We had a great trip, but I think everyone was ready to go home.
