Friday, March 1st is when all the action started. I came down on the bus on Thursday. Friday morning, the groom had a friend who was giving a car for me to drive them around. (How generous, eh?) I went and picked it up. Then I got a call from the bride she needed me to pick her up. This was her traditional engagement day! Her family and the groom's family would meet together and she would be given over to her husband. Unfortunately, I was slacking on my chauffeuring job and I was not ready. Baaba and I rushed to get ready (Amponsah was ready already...totally a guy :)) so we could pick the bride and get to the engagement. I was so late in picking her up! OOO Craziness...We could not even find the place and then when we did arrive the bride still had to get dressed and get her hair and make up done! Ei! People were already gathering. But, somehow in this country, though things are late, it all turns out ok.
On Monday, no more craziness :) I rested. I slept in. I went to see a movie. I bought a chocolate croissant. It was much needed to just beeeee. Tuesday and Wednesday I went out with people. I ate fufu, I prayed with friends, I sat at shops, friends cooked for me, it was bliss!! Thursday, I found out one of my boys is an Uber driver!! So, he took me to the airport. He is now married and they both come to Tesano church. I am happy about that.Now, back in Tamale. I am bracing myself and psyching myself up to be super serious with language. I have a good chunk of time to go all out. There is a new area I want to go to and practice and also I want to get sewing with Rafia! OOOOO let's hope for hope with this Dagbani.Thanks for praying!
