June Update - From Ontario

Here is our June update.

Dealing with Disappointment

I am disappointed tonight at my emotional attachment to the activities of mediocre multimillionaire hockey players. I hold on to a Burkina calling to recognize what is important, and what is entertainment. I can imagine there are several people who will be feeling down for quite a few days over the next while because of tonight's hockey game. Although my team lost, I don't count myself among the grievers. Maybe my emotional investment was less than I think.

There is a lot to be disappointed about in Burkina Faso these days: the injustices, the government, our land application which was denied for our church. Nobody deserves that land more that group of people. Our church friends there are likely disappointed about our leaving. A song that we often sang in Ouagadougou could be roughly translated, “Your mother might disappoint you. Your father might disappoint you. People might disappoint you. The world might disappoint you. But God does not disappoint. God is faithful.”
