Heating up in Burkina...

I have wanted to do a blog for the past few days, but the electricity has been horrible. Because of Ivory Coast the electricity in Burkina has been cut. So they are running the entire town on two generators. We have electricity in 6 hours shifts. On for 6 hours then off for 6 hours. It is really hard to sleep without electricity. Besides being warm it is dusty because we have to open all the windows!

I had hoped to upload pictures of some of our friends in Abidjan. I wanted to put pictures with names so you can see who you can pray for. If the electricity stays on for awhile, I will get these on soon.

The situation is continuing to get worse in Ivory Coast. They are not calling it a civil war yet, but in reality that is what it is. The military of the North and the military of the South are fighting. Many innocent people are losing their life because of who they support. We have had many of our friends call and tell us how difficult it currently is. Many have lost their jobs and they don't have money to buy food, etc. We can not get any money into them because all the Western Unions have been closed. We trust the Lord is hearing all the prayers, and will supply all their needs.

We sometime think about if we will ever get our things out of our house.....but realize that is all just stuff. The people there are suffering so much.

Also, pray for wisdom for us as we have decisions to make.

Blessings,
