Breakfast and Burkina

This morning I met with Amy, Angela and Dorilee for breakfast. All of our husbands are at this moment on the continent of Africa.

Preacher daddy left Monday with several other pastors from our area to survey the need for mission work in  Burkina Faso. I have not heard from p daddy in two days, but I can tell you from what is happening on the home front I am sure God is building a vision within these men.  With twenty years of experience as a pastor’s wife when God is allowing preacher daddy to join Him in Kingdom work, especially taking the gospel to those who have never heard before; things on the home front tend to be a little crazier than normal. .

While in Burkina, they were able to visit a compassion international site. Today  they are in a very remote area of the country. P daddy and the pastors with him are the first white people these natives have ever seen.

Tonight the guys will be sleeping  out under the stars, along with all the other creatures not sleeping under the stars, like pythons and lions. I think I will not be sleeping tonight, but praying instead.

Because I need to relate to preacher daddy’s roughing it experience, God has allowed my dryer to be unusable. Therefore, tomorrow I will be stringing a clothesline in my backyard. I think I will put a basket on my head which will hold my clothes pins. I can also strap the baby in a sling  around my body while hanging the clothes to help enhance  the whole experience.  Perhaps God will grant me favor and not allow the washer to go out; I really don’t want to walk to the lake and wash my clothes.

Actually, my dear friend that lives around the corner has offered me the use of her dryer. I love my neighbors.

I am also very grateful God has blessed me with the conveniences I have here in the United States of America. I cannot image living the lives that many in this world suffer through each day.
