Yesterday was...wow. We as Americans have nothing to complain about. People over here in Burkina Faso eat one meal every other day! And one of the churches we visited, gave to us this lunch that could feed literaly a neighborhood for a week. Why feed us? It is their custom to honor guest. huh.
We went into the slums (not an orphanage) and prayed for some the children that were sponsored by Compassion International. One of the children we met name was Isabel. She so desires to be the President of Burkina Faso so that she could change the food / HIV crisis here in her country. What? This came out of a child who is 9yrs old being educated by a local Assemblies of God church through Compassion...amazing!
There is so much here to experience...(and I'm not talking site seeing)
Anyways, the video that I was going to post probably won't be up for another day.
