Burkina Faso is beautiful. The landscape is amazing. It has been real fun to see the variety. You have mountains, valleys, lakes, rock formations, etc. The main roads drive through tons of villages. As I have traveled around I have seen so much. It is very green right now since it is rainy season. That makes everything seems alive and moving with you. As you drive you see men and women hard at work in their fields. They are incredible. They have their hoes and know precisely what they are doing. It is fun to see their plants grow. I pray that they will have good harvests to take care of their families.

As I looked at the scenery I was reminded that God is big and the creator of it all. I have seen his creative hand here. Especially when the Hauser's, Johnson's and I visited the Peaks. It is this crazy set of rock formations. I will post pictures when I get back to the Ivory Coast. Wow!

My heart was also stirred as I looked at the toil that Burkinabes do in their fields. I have learned here in Africa more about how things are made and where they come from. With all of our development we have lost some of the realities of life.
