Just One Touch!

So I received a comment from Norman last week about a picture of me in my last post. To answer your question Norm, Yes, I am sporting a mohawk. It was my girls idea but I actually liked it. Kelly on the other hand hated it and so it only lasted until my next haircut.

While we are on the subject of hair I thought I would show you this photo of Lyndsey. She is sitting with some of the African children who visit the hospital on a weekly basis for a Bible school day. The African people (adults and children) are fascinated by the straight hair of the Yovoh (white person), this little girl couldn't resist Just One Touch touch of Lyndsey's hair.

This is a young lady I saw coming to the Bible school, I have seen many of the African people carry things on their heads. This is the first person I have seen with their Bible on their head.

I will try to post more photos later today,

Learning to Ride!

I wanted to try and get some photos up as I promised that I would. Today is my first attempt to upload with my new connection. It is a steady but slow connection so I am not able to upload as many images as I would like to. I will try again sometime after it 10:00 p.m. and see if it is faster. For now I have 2 images to show you they are pictures of me learning to ride a moto or in America a motorcycle. It is a small moto but I eventually graduated up to a larger bike. This was a good one for me to start with. You will notice my new hair cut in one image, it was the girls idea but I like it. Hope you do!

Tsiko

We finally made it to Tsiko and once again we have internet access that is more dependable. I plan to make a post later tonight that will have some photos, I hope I still have some readers waiting for updates. We are all doing well and looking forward to what adventures lay before us in Tsiko, Togo.

Agou Church

Agou (pronounced Agoo) is the village where I am currently working. I am overseeing the construction of a new church building. The project is going well and I am learning much about masonry work. We are supposed to be moving to Tsiko (pronounced Cheeko) on the 23rd of this month. I am sorry for the lack of pictures but I just do not have a good enough connection to upload. Hopefully that will change after the 23rd.
