I've been blessed with a short term missionary from Canada! Her name is Kristin Deboer. She is a musician/music teacher and spent about 6 months in the capital city studying French, teaching piano to youth in the church, and visiting an orphanage.  She wanted to spend her last couple months in Burkina outside of the capital city, so came to Yako in February. She has been a tremendous help at a time when I didn't even realize how badly I was going to need help. With my upcoming trip to the States, I have much to do. Kristin has been participating in one of the 4 classrooms each morning. She helps out, plays the guitar (which they love), and gives me feedback as to how things are going. In addition, she has taken on the responsibility of sponsorship visits and the initial home investigations for children who have newly registered for the program. She spends two afternoons/week blessing the babies at 2 different orphanages in town. And, lastly, she has been helping me create materials to be used in the classrooms.
While she does all that, I take bubble baths, read and do my nails. Just kidding! Kristin's support has made it possible for me to focus on developing the curriculum that will be needed in my absence, the teacher training materials; and making preparations for building the next school building. Together, everything that needs to be done for me to be able to leave with peace of mind will be accomplished, so Thank You Kristin!
