In my Dagbani lessons, Pastor Andrew and I have been reading a few verses from the Bible. I try and learn the words I do not know. I want to try and read with a flow so if I was asked in church I could do it in a way people can follow, even if I don't always keep up with what I am reading. I am just doing the creation story. I have learned a simple way to say it and even have pictures when I go out and practice so many words I have heard before...it does not mean I use them or even understand them when someone else uses them in conversation but (sigh) small-small. 
Tuntaaya's mom's funeral was this week. I went and the girls came around me to say HI. During Bible study, we played games and I just tried to keep it lively.
I went sewing and Rafia said I may be able to start a skirt! Let's see how that goes.Our Tamale team went to Gushegu for a Northern team meeting and we stayed the weekend. The Ethiopians brought their coffee! They went out with Fela and Rema to a naming ceremony and we took some to the market. And, yes, I showed Asafash how to buy cloth :) Pui and Rachael also had their kids club and told the story of Moses. It was a full, but I rested, weekend. It was nice to get out of Tamale.

With the Ethiopians feeling a little more settled, they are going to wander around and with yellow-yellows to look for houses. Be praying they find good housing, close to the kid's school.I may not have an excuse NOT to do language, hardcore this week. #1- The weather is cooler. #2- I have a bit more time. #3-I had a restful weekend.My wound opened up again. I have to admit, I really don't care. I will put it on hold for now :) and just let it be (to the dismay of my nurse sister, and mother).Love you. Thanks for praying!
