I would like to say it was just a normal week, but it really wasn't. Not that it was super exciting or anything either.I went out for language on Monday. I am trying to find out about Dagbani families. I learned some new words but haven't really tried using them. They are too much!! There is always next week...On Tuesday we had our monthly team meeting and it was held at Yvonne's house in Tamale. The Gushiegu team came and it went really well. We heard what was talked about in council, how we need to move forward in our Dagbani strategies, and how to start figuring out SLC. We had a lovely meal together and shared prayer requests and Yvonne lead us in a devotion from John. I'd call all that was done a success!From Tuesday to Friday we had people at our house. Damary and I work together well and I am so thankful for her and how we just team-thru meals and clean up. Wednesday I tried to do language but with people around and hospitality, it gets kind of lost. Yes, I will be the first to admit it is an excuse! I did go just to my neighbors but I didn't really talk I just played with the kids. I can't quite catch all they are saying so I just keep nodding my head. I wonder when they will figure out I can't understand them?
It was all fun and games until one little boy had poop running down his leg. Eww! But one woman just grabbed him and cleaned up him (and this would be another reason why I don't have children haha).Fela, Pui, Grace and Damary left for Accra on Thursday morning. Salome was waiting for Rema and Maami to pick her up but they got tied down with errands and decided to wait until Friday morning. I met a woman from America last week and said we need to hang out one night. I thought since Salome was around we could all go. So, we went to my favorite place called Chucks. We had a lovely dinner and conversations. I love hearing about how God leads people in their lives. He is so amazing.
Salome left on Friday and I had the house to myself. So, what did I do? I went out :) I called my friend Martha, who will put my hair in braids next week, and we went to market to buy hair and a hair-net-thing. I love going to the market with a Ghanaian, they just know where to go and how to do it.When I got to Martha's she was finishing some twists on a little girl. They burn the ends so it won't come undone. It is not her hair that gets burnt, it is the fake hair/string that she uses.
Yeah, so that is my week. Damary comes back from Accra today. Things will be all back to normal.Got a lot of words to use this week in Dagbani! Thanks for praying!P.S. My cyst wound...I know, the never-ending-saga, is red and puffy and it hurts. Pray for healing!
