Missed last week. I was soooo busy. I was out and about with language, trying to get the last organizational touches on SIM Ghana's Spiritual Life Conference (SLC), and finish up house/email-y things. There are just not enough hours. For language, I went to Rafia's. I used the charcoal iron at her shop. So fascinating. Then, I went to the grinding mill with Wasila where she dumps in her ground nuts (we would call it peanuts) and then the machine turns it into paste (we would call it peanut butter). Can't get much healthier or fresher!
One sweet thing my team did for Yvonne, Damary and I was that they laid hands on us and prayed. As each of us shared our testimony individually about what has happened in the past year, though we did not talk about it with each other, ours were very similar. We are all having a difficult time in Tamale. The people, the language, the heat. Our team has been so compassionate towards us and will continue to keep us in their prayers. Keep us in your prayers too!Life just keeps on moving. This week a couple of the Ethiopian missionaries will come up and see things for themselves. Yvonne and I will take them to see schools and any housing options in Tamale and Buipe. I also want to get some language in...not sure how that will all go. I also need to find where we pay our water bill--we just got our first one after 1.5 years!! HAAA.. Then I need to get a new residence permit, buy some food, email lots of people and just get back into some sort of a routine.Love you.
