Ouaga- Day 2 (HFM Installation)

    Today, our second day in Ouaga, started with breakfast and team devotions. We discussed the spiritual disciplines of prayer, meditation, and fasting, which we’ll be practicing in the rest of our devotional times. We then set about doing different projects around the guest house.

    My project is a water filtration system, and our goal was to install one in the guest house to replace the existing system. We installed a Hollow Fiber Membrane filter, which is  a 0.1 micron filter that can be used indefinitely when washed periodically. We brought all the parts of the system with us from Messiah College.  I was glad to see the whole thing assembled, as it was my responsibility to order all the parts, make sure they fit together, and make sure they made it here. We got it mounted to the wall without too much difficulty, after running to the corner hardware store to get some supplies.  After testing the system, it still needs some adjustments, which Matt Walsh offered to work on tomorrow while the teams spends some time with the locals.

    We also got to eat dinner with John Tandamba, a local pastor who invited us to his house for a meal of chicken (feet included), rice, plantains, and watermelon.
