Lots of New Pictures!

We've had terrible internet issues in the last two weeks. Even to the point of not being able to send & recieve simple email. Today, the connection is good, so I'm uploading pics like crazy to keep up! :-)


This is a pic of Hilary, Ben and Caleb when we visited the church in Fourou. It was Tom & Laura Requadts last Sunday before leaving for home assignment. It was also a celebration of that church's purchase of ground to build on. It was a fun day, two Sundays ago...


Saturday, we were invited to another village for a funeral service. The woman who had died was a believer in the local church there. But her family insisted she be buried in a Senoufo tradition. So Pastor said the spirit is more important than the body, and allowed them to have their traditional service. But we went to encourage the family and the local believers there. There was lots of dancing, drums, and balafones and other instruments being played. Most of the village came to this important event. It was a treat to be a part of...



This is a pic of Danielle with Sara & Lydie. Danielle & Joannie were having a short drum lesson. If you would like to know what a visit here would be like, you could come and enjoy a drum lesson, too. :-)


Here is Caleb with a couple of friends from our church here in Kadiolo.



Here is Hilary, with new hair extensions. She has done so well this year, we are proud of her. Pray for her as she transitions to Dakar for school in August.


Thanks for stopping by once again. Please continue to pray for our family, we've been a bit sick the last few days. Joannie is doing a whole lot better. But Tom, and Lisa now have a head cold issue. It makes it hard to get ones rest, and keep your strength up. The kids seem to be doing okay healthwise.
Thanks again,
Tom & Lisa Seward
