This past week was filled with catching up. I had a list everyday and most days I was able to cross off everything. We had Phil and Andrea come up on Thursday and hang with us until Saturday. They are going 'round visiting us in the North, Upper West and Upper East Regions.I left Saturday morning for Accra because I wanted to be at my friend Kofi's ordination service at Tesano church on Sunday. I took a coach bus. I haven't taken a bus since...since...I cannot remember but whenever that was it not a pleasant experience. When we send short termers or whoever on buses I tell them three things will happen. #!- They will end up sitting next to a fat lady. #2-They will be forced to watch and listen to Nigerian/Ghanaian movies which are played as loud as possible. #3-The air conditioning will be very high and you will freeze. I prepared myself for all these things.
I was a bit sad to leave but I had a plane to catch to get back up to Tamale. I could have stayed another day but (sigh) I really needed to get back to get me in the swing of things. I felt if I stayed one more day it would turn into another day and then another.Arrived back in Tamale in one hour. A bit different from the bus and way more expensive but worth it!Language is calling me. I keep rejecting the call but it keeps pestering me:) I need to pick it and get going again this week. Also, I need to start exercising again and eating right. Pray for me!Love you.P.S. When Andrea was here, she checked my cyst wound and found it is pretty much healed! WOO-HOO!! Praisin' The Lord over here people!!!
