Digging for Gold

Last week a lone prospector found GOLD in the hills. After collecting his reward of $3000 for what he had found, the word was out.  This has led to desperate people from all over West Africa descending on a small village just outside out city limits. I went to town yesterday to get the weeks shopping and was astonished to see people carrying shovels, picks and hoes all wrapping them up for the journey to the newly found mine.

Pray for safety as the rains have started and as these prospectors try and dig holes in to the hills, that there will be no cave-ins. Thank you for following us, we love you all.
