Afrique skies

There is nothing like the African sunsets here. They are vibrant as they lay down over the coconut trees and palms. God really knew what He was doing.

The mornings are filled with the sound of roosters crowing from all over our neighborhood. In the states they crow in the morning, in Africa they crow all day. Jennifer said that roosters crow in America because they are hungry for breakfast, but in Africa they are always hungry. So they crow.

We have been very busy. Everyday brings a new adventure, along with new joy to carry us through. Walking down the streets it is almost as if we are in a parade. The people from Togo are warm; and quick to give up a smile.

Ginny received her oven this past week, she was so pleased. It made me glad to see her so excited to get to bake some peanutbutter cookies. There were 12 so we divided them up between the four of us. 3 each lasted 3 days. In the states I would have enhaled a dozen at one sitting.

Tomorrow I will go to the Bible School early. We will then go down to the market. It is a maze of everything you could imagine, and should not imagine.They tell us not to go to deep into it; but being Cantrells; I am confident we will either get lost; get ripped off; or simply make some new friends. French school is at 5:30 tomorrow night. Please pray that our brains will contain it. Jonathon and Jennifer pick it up quickly; Gin and I pick it up with great effort.

Gin received word that her father has cancer, we know that God knows all things and that He does all things well. Please pray for her father Pete. He will be in surgery this week:

Please keep in touch and pray for Togo/Burkina Faso daily;

In Great African Love;

Ken
