Day 3-Church and Preparations







Fr. Monk says:
This morning we went to church in a small village. There were about 60 people in a small church, and they filled it to capacity. The worship was exciting-singing and dancing. They had a children's choir, a woman's choir, and an adult choir. The singing lasted for aabout an hour. I gave a short homily (translated twice-once into French and another into the local language Moray). Lynn, our leader, gave a homliy, and so did the local pastor. We have lots of pictures and are posting them below. This afternoon we prepared for the next 5 days in the Bush doing our medical work.

Tonight others are also commenting, so read on for more!!!

Greeting to everyone back home. We are having a wonderfull time, once we got over the jet lag. The only thing bad so far was two very long layovers in the airports. The people of Burkina Faso are very friendly and everyone seems to be having a good time. Tomorrow we will go to a village to do medical work for the first time. Everyone is looking forward to it. Be praying for us.
