Chez Gibson


We arrived in Djibo last Tuesday evening by bus (and on time!). For the last 9 days we have been enjoying the hospitality of the Gibsons, as well as the other missionaries in town and some of their Fulani friends. We've ....


  • been to the cattle market and the town market - only actually shopped in one of them!

  • worshipped at the Fulani church and met the pastor and his wife.

  • visited a Fulani family in Winde Ferru village and ate chobbal, a millet soup.

  • socialised with the Pilkinton's, Davies', and Elliott's.

  • played with Joshua, Amelia and Samuel (every day!)

  • chatted with Mark and Cheryl.

  • drank tea with milk.

Today, we left Djibo after lunch to head down to Ouagadougou for good internet access and our flight home.
