Wrapping up the trip

 
In our final 3 days we have returned to the SIL guesthouse in Ouagadougou where we stayed when we arrived in Burkina. It felt like coming home!  

At the market we stocked up immediately on watermelon – the last opportunity to have our fill!   We finally managed to get a picture of the ever-present geckos that scamper up walls wherever we go. They do not pose for pictures but dart away while we point a camera in their direction! 

 

We had an evening out with Mike and Kathy Steinborn who have committed their lives to Bible translation. 

 

We have enjoyed our own time of reading the Bible and are so thankful that it has been translated into our language and that it is readily available.  

In the IT department here at the SIL Centre, there is a familiar counter that we have spent many hours on.  It is possible to get on line when the signal is strong and when the server is functioning.  (Ken:  I was joking with Damian that we have squatter's rights to the workstation.  In Canada, a person building a cabin on crown land gains the right to that space if there long enough and not evicted.)

 

While Carolee was writing her final thoughts, Ken was out and about getting to know people, admiring babies and penetrating the bowels of the local market.
