Things are getting busy again

Life in Kara, Togo is great we are in the rainy season, so we are not having those ridiculously hot days anymore. We are getting down to the 70's, today I have been drinking hot tea all day and I have been chilled.

Recently we have planted a garden we planted tomatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, onions, spinach, green peppers, squash, zucchini, peanuts, pineapple and potatoes. Unfortunately today we had a really hard rain and the garden looked like a lake. I think everything will be okay, I understand now why they plant everything in mounds of dirt.

Today while driving down the main road we saw a donkey walking down the middle of the road with a rope tied to his leg, Joshua said we should stop and cut off the rope. My question was how would we catch him? He was not sure about that.

I had to go to the market today with Joshua to pick up some coffee. It is always interesting to me what people say and what they do when they see a little blond boy. They all want to touch him, and give him stuff for free all the time.

I have started school again with Joshua he is doing great. It amazes me how much he can forget in just three weeks. He is excited about what we are going to be doing.
Just this week we had a science lesson on seeds, so we and some friends of ours talked about seeds and how they grow and we planted some peanuts. I am praying they grow.

Jesse is going to be talking with some of our neighbors about water and purifying it please pray that we can get closer to these families and start up bible study with them.

Well that is a little of my life right now, we are having fun, enjoying the cool weather and having a wonderful time working along side of the Kabye people. Thank you for all of your prayers.
