A Letter from an American Missionary

Last week I received an email from a friend of mine who has gone on a missions trip to Africa.  I thought the email was so moving and tells of the struggles and triumphs of one Christian that you might be inspired by it as well.  I've changed my friends name to protect him.  This is from "Craig."

Where to start? So much has happen to me in the past week. FIrst of all
to give you some background info on Burkina Faso it is a 3rd world country
Class A. It is the second poorest country in the world and (missions organization)  classifieds this country as the hardest journey for a misssionary. Anyways last Saturday  our team got split up and each one of us went to different parts of the country. We stayed with a host family. This has been the hardest week of my  life! I got picked up from the church on a MOTO (vespa) and got dropped off at my family house. It is a one bedroomm clay hut with a tin roof.
