Our Anniversary

Today is our 6^th Anniversary. My how time has flown! It seems like yesterday I was walking down the aisle to see my weeping groom. He says it was allergies. I know better now. So, tonight we’ll venture out for our second date in Ouagadougou. Mike is doing really good at driving in this city. The printed map we have is of very little help, but Charlie has hand drawn several maps for us to help us get around. There are few street signs around. So, everything is by points of interest. But so far we’ve not gotten lost.

Our search continues for a vehicle. We’ve seen many, but still no vehicle to our name. Pray that we’ll get a good vehicle for a reasonable price. We’re looking now at one, and have made an offer, but we’ll see what happens with it. We’ll let you know.

Monday we start language school. I’m excited about that! I look forward to having a schedule, though I know my body will complain when I have to get up and leave the air conditioning. But I am eager to study the language so I can understand more of what everyone is saying. Today I attended the ladies Bible study, while Mike went to the men’s. I could understand some of what was said. But I’m eager to see how fast we will learn being immersed in French.

Friday marked our first day of rain here in Burkina Faso. It smelled so good. We’re looking forward to seeing how green Ouaga really gets. Charlie says it gets pretty green. We look forward to that!

Well I must go for now. I’ll write again soon.
