We toured the SIM office and met some of the staff.
Then David took us for a drive to tour the city. We saw some of the government buildings, the Monument to Martyrs tower, some of the bigger hotels and homes and drove through the downtown area. We also drove by Faso Parc, a huge park surrounded by a fence that we hope to stroll in on another day.

The downtown area was very busy with shops everywhere, lots of traffic and people crowding the streets. Thank goodness for David's driving skills.

We had lunch and siesta time after we got back and then had a two-hour team meeting to finalize the details for the annual Spiritual Life Conference. We will travel there tomorrow (Thursday) for a three-hour trip to Fada. The conference is for all the missionaries in the area, and we will be responsible for the children's program for three days (yikes!). The conference starts Thursday afternoon and ends Sunday after lunch. We will have eight sessions with the children over three days for 23 children from the ages of 2 to 15. We have planned games, crafts, songs and teaching sessions with fun and free time in between. We will be staying at homes in Fada with Andrew and Braeden staying in a tent.

Sunday afternoon we will head to Mahadaga for the visit with my sponsored child. We are all very excited especially Terry and I. We will also spend some time hiking in the mountains of Mahadaga.
There may be an interruption in the blog over the next few days depending on the internet connection while we are away.
