Holiday

Since the last two photos went through, here are another couple! We spent a few days holiday at Bembéréké (where Eve was born) after Christmas. This photo was taken on a walk we took:



We also visited friends 30 miles (but over two hours' drive!) away down a dirt track in the middle of nowhere! It was good to catch up with them!

Photos

Since I'm heading into Kandi this afternoon to use the faster connection there, I thought I'd put a few photos on my blog. The first is some people working in a field near our house - they are putting corn cobs through a (very noisy) machine to extract the grains.



The next photo shows Simon and Eve walking home from the village centre past the local primary school.



And here is a reserve of animal fodder some of our neighbours put up recently to feed their animals over the dry season:



Here is a selection of cloth being sold in Kandi:



And here are Simon and Benjy wearing the clothes we had made from one of them:



And finally, here I am with the rest of the translation team and our consultant, Pierre. Left to right: Pastor Samuel, Pierre, Philémon, me.
