Time In Accra

I drove down to Accra from Tamale on Sunday. I left very early. The drive down was uneventful and safe. Praise God! Thanks for praying. The police did stop me a few times but they never troubled me, just slowed me down. I think they were bored :)On Monday, I got my blood drawn and Tuesday, I saw the doctor with the results. He gave the go-ahead for Monday the 27th, no earlier :( He said it should take about 15 minutes and everyone is different in the way they heal, some faster than others. So, we will see. I plan to stay at the SIM guesthouse and Andrea is nearby in case I would need anything. As of today, Saturday, I am not worried or nervous but I wonder what I will feel like Sunday night or Monday morning! Be praying for calmness. I hate hospitals. Don't they all have a funny smell?To fill up my time the rest of the week, I represented SIM Ghana at the Ghana Evangelical Mission Association Conference. They do one annually. I sat at a table with SIM information in case anyone would be interested in serving with us or just wanting to talk about missions. There were around 200 people.
I also did some shopping. Trying to find what I can in Accra to take back North. I don't think I will have much time when I come back to Ghana from USA. I really want to get back up to Tamale fast. In the evenings, I went to a church where I used to do a children's program and Bible studies with the youth and sometimes attended church and sang with the praise team. It was great to see the children grown and participating. It was nice to see friends and laugh about how my Twi language has disappeared! Haaa! Traffic in Accra was not nice and trying to get home was Eiiiii!!!!20171124_211109From Tuesday to the weekend I have stayed with my lovely friends, Baaba and Amponsah. She cooks yummy food and they give me a room to sleep and chill. It is so wonderful!! And we talk, talk about everything new and old. OOOO how I love them.Be praying about the procedure Monday morning at 8am Ghana time. Pray for quick healing. I fly home December 5th!! Woo Hoooooo!!!
