Bush Burning



We sit here in Tamale on this December 22 morning with 99% of our furniture moved to the Buipe house yesterday. We thank God that the move went well and now for the hard part of getting everything into its place. Hopefully by Christmas day it will feel somewhat organized.


As we drive the picture above is a common site. The rains ceased two months ago and everything is dry and the cultural practice is to burn all of the dry brush. The resulting smoke coupled with the Harmatan dust from the Sahara Desert really causes problems with our respiratory systems.


We have just a few more days to move the remaining items to Buipe before our lease is up December 31st.


It definitely looks different than Christmas in the states.


We wish you a very blessed Merry Christmas. 


Sustained by your prayers.


Terry and Amy Ruff
