It is a good thing I like people. I am with them all the time. I have had different people come thru my life this past week. I had a short termer named Eleana from UK. She is interested in missions and was going to come out with a team but they all backed out. She still came and went around with some of us to see what life is like here and if this is a place where God could use her. I really tried to be all excited about what life is like here but I know I was more on the "let's be real" sort of level. She took it all in a stride and was thankful for the time we missionaries spent with her.
When Eleana left, I had Charity at my house. Char is a hoot. She actually was a short termer around 2009 and has come back as a long termer. She is from Canada and behind her back Damary and I call her perfect. She just does everything well. And when she is frustrated or something she complains for one second and then talks about God and how good He is. AHHHH!! I need to be around her more :) We love her. She came thru and stayed with me a few days. We pray every couple weeks over the phone or internet so it was good to have a face to face time of prayer. 
Damary has been in Gushegu these past couple weeks so having people pop through was really nice. But we had a team meeting in Gushegu so I took some of the Ethiopian families (someone else took the other some) and we stayed for a few days.I know I have talked about the NE Indian missionaries I work with and the Ethiopian missionaries but in Gushegu there are also another group of missionaries with a different agency and they are from Holland.Fela and Puii's daughter, Grace celebrated her 4th birthday and they had a party for her after our meeting. What a party. Talk about people! There were 28 of us. And so many different cultures represented. And we all love Jesus. And there was amazing food! And it was fun! It was a lovely-lovely weekend.

Puii would not let me help her so I had ample time to rest. I feel ready for this week. We do not have any people staying with us this week. I told my team they need to really be tough on me and keep me accountable in using my time for language. I have no excuse this week. I am already thinking of where I will walk and who I will visit.BE PRAYING!!! May I get back on track with Dagbani!! It is almost September!! (Gasp!)
