Disney Princesses

Today was our first full day in Ouaga.  With a new city to explore, we all took the first opportunity to get out of the guest house and enjoy the warm weather.  In the morning hours, Scott, Jeremey, and Matt went to IMS to set up a network for their students, while Austin and Kara configured the 6 new Netbooks for the school.  The other students had a relaxing morning, organizing more luggage and reading our course book A Hole in the Gospel.  After a great lunch, The computing students, along with Dave, Kevin, and Randy from engineering returned to IMS to test the netbooks with the networks, and recommended wiring configuration for future installation of KWHR meters in the dorm rooms. 

Besides all the hard work, we've been relaxing a lot and really enjoying the weather here.  Many of us have gone to the store or market with Angela to practice our french, but despite our 'practice' there has still been a major language barrier.  Je ne sais pas (I do not know) has become our new favorite phrase. We are enjoying our time here, having a lot of team bonding before the Engineering group (and Kate) head to Mahadaga with many different topics ranging anywhere from an hour long discussion of what your favorite disney princess is to the theology and logic of skipbo.  We are so thankful to be posting almost every day courtesy of SIM, and we appreciate the prayers.  Keep posted for day 2.....coming up next, One student gets to finally meet their Compassion child.
