We have been in Timbuktu for 2 weeks now. The environment and neighborhood has become familiar. Sand and dust is still here and everywhere, but it’s not a problem unless its windy.. we are expecting more sandstorms... The heat is getting more intense, but we are coping with it and learning to drink more. Lately no one has been sick anymore, there are so many things we could get sick from, but God is protecting us. :D And we are grateful for it.
We have been doing practical work at the prayer conference area and building the meeting place…ect. We are hoping to get it soon done. There are a lot of practical things to do and to pray for before the conference. Working in the heat is a bit tiring, but we are doing good and also enjoying the work.

We are expecting an African DTS team coming to live with us today. So we are moving things around in the house and making things ready for them.
On Thursday we celebrated Valentines Day together with some of the local YWAM base staff. We had a fun night of fellowship, prayer and eating good food. :D I am so grateful for all the vegetables and fruits they have on the market(if they have stuff) . They don’t have everything everyday, but definitely more than on the dry season. Especially the local bananas are good. :D some people hqve been eating 10 a day ;)
Thanks for your prayers and support, we are really grateful for them. Keep on praying that we wont get sick or injured and for the conference. We have big and good expectations for it. :D
