Day 9 (June 23) - Bobo

Today was a refreshing and relaxing one. We slept in a little before working from 10AM until noon varnishing 100 boards which will be used to make benches for the churches. Kevin is very good with his hands and has made much of what is used by the churches he has helped plant. The Salem Alliance Church team that is coming in a few weeks will take the benches out to the churches and assemble them. After lunch we went to a "French club" to go swimming. We had a great time. It was much needed.

We had a great dinner at the Obergs'. They have been wonderful hosts. They are so generous and giving. Their kids are a lot of fun and so well behaved and kind. We loved hanging out with them. We couldn't have asked for better hosts.

In the evening, we had the privilege of being broadcast back to Moses Lake for our VBS via Skype. It was great to see everyone back home and to encourage the kids to raise a whole bunch of money to buy motorcycles for pastors here in Burkina. Most of the kids were able to see and talk to their parents and I loved seeing Jessica and Mackenzie. We thank God for the technology to be able to do that. It was a great day. God is good.
