Life in Burkina

Life in Burkina

March 22, 2013

Life here in Burkina Faso is great. There are some things I would need to get used to if we moved here. One of those things is the heat. We have had temperatures in the high 30s and low 40s Celsius here. For those of you who are not familiar with Celsius, the Fahrenheit equivalent […]

The food Jacob has tried

March 19, 2013

These are excerpts from Jacob’s journal of his time in Benin of the food that he is having there and what he noticed about goats on his way to Benin. Sorry for the choppiness of this.  I have copied and pasted the excerpts about the food from different days he journaled about. They have an […]

Praise and Prayer Report

Praise and Prayer Report

March 17, 2013

Another excerpt… “We went to Glasoue about 15 km away. It was a smaller city than Dassa, but with much bigger need among the Idatcha. We met with Pastor Philippe who is the only Idatcha pastor working with only Idatcha people. He pastors a church of over 200 and they have planted two others that […]

A faith like David

A faith like David

March 15, 2013

Through reading I Samuel with my women’s Bible study and reading my kids Bible stories, God has been teaching me about David.  David had a crazy faith to trust God  to do the impossible.  He walked out to face a giant as a boy with just a stone and a sling shot!  Saul in comparison […]

So we started our day having breakfast at a very nice cafe.  Nicer than Panera Bread back home.  It is nicer because you get served instead of just ordering foodbut it hadthings similar in food and drinks there.    A couple here treated Jacob for his birthday.  We then went to the African clothing market.

Flat Tire

Flat Tire

March 6, 2013

  A cultural experience… Yesterday, we were to travel back to Dakar with a missionary friend, but before we left we realized we had a flat tire.  No problem.  We put on the spare tire.  ( There is not much humidity or salt on the roads here so there was no “Wisconsin factor” of rust […]

Exercising and learning how to count

March 3, 2013

Today I went with Andi, our fellow missionary friend to exercise with some of the local ladies.  We exercised on the roof of one of their homes.  We ran back and forth lifting our legs high, did squats, arm exercises with 1L water bottles that were filled, and other exercises on some mats on the […]

Traveling in Africa

Traveling in Africa

March 2, 2013

I just heard a call to prayer… It reminded me that I am in a different place. Today, we traveled to another African city by way of a Sept Places ( It is a taxi with places for seven people in it so they call it: Seven Places).  It was like a station wagon with […]
