We can't believe we will be home in less than a week. These last couple weeks have flown by and I feel like we have done so much travelling we could have covered the entire continent of Africa. We made the journey down to Ivory Coast (15 hours in a van with 9 people). There was a leadership retreat for the church leaders in Ivory Coast that we were able to be a part of. These people had just come out of over 10 years of crisis, so it was a time of refreshing for them. Great people, awesome experience.
We also got to visit and observe at the clinic/lab that serves the people of Abengouru, Ivory Coast. They have a great HIV/AIDS program going on there...the people that work here are amazing!
We also had our first overnight village stay in an area that a church plant was going to be happening. We are so glad we got to make it down to Ivory Coast to see all that has been going on, admist the crisis.
So today we head to Dano for a team retreat...it should be a lot of fun to see everyone again. Then we head to Ouaga on Monday and fly out Tuesday night. See you all soon!! Thanks for your prayers throughout this trip.
