"Today was moving day for The "F" family. J & S are new missionaries here that will be primary working in Boubon. This morning we met over the Compound to load a moving truck with their furniture. Once we got everything loaded we begin the trip to to the village. Upon arriving there, many people in the village came up to greet us. These people ended doing more than greeting us. They helped us unload this truck and carry the furniture into their new house. It almost seemed at one time we had too much help, but we certainly didn't say no.
We had planned to spend some time this morning with the only believer in the village Soumana. However, he was really sick today and was not able to visit with us. Pray that he will be feeling well again soon. Since we didn't spend time with "S", we went to greet the chief of the village. The chief wasn't there so we greeted his wife "H", and she was very welcoming. We really enjoyed our short visit with her.
This afternoon we were craving something that none of us had since we had left the states. That craving was a hamburger, french fries, and a coke! While eating here at the Embassy we fellowshipped with other missionaries in the area. Tomorrow we will be heading out for a long day in the villages of Kakassi and Koulikoira. There is only ONE believer in each village. Pray for them to be receptive to the gospel."

Please tell Blake that "H", the chiefs wife, is one of my all time favorite people. She is the one I still weep for!

LOVE that you got to meet "H," she was our village momma and I miss her dearly! Loving getting those updates, it's so exciting to hear about everything they've been able to experience!
