I don't really want to write about my week. On paper it looks like I did not do much. But in reality, I was busy.
For example, I went to help the Ethiopians get a plumber and electrician to hook up their water tank and pump. But when I get there and when the workers get there is totally different. Then, the pump we bought is not strong enough and the shop we bought it from will not take it back! And the water was shut off for them already and they had none! OOOOOO! So, Damary and I the next day went to the bank to pull out more money to get a new pump. And it finally got put in and they all have water! But that was two days of waiting and running around. And this is just one example.
It has been unusually hot this time of year. When I hear Ghanaians complaining, then I know it is bad :) But something is wrong on our part of town. When I was in Accra, Damary told me the light was off for 2 days. Then this past week we had light off from Sunday night to Monday afternoon and then they shut us off again for another night and some afternoon. I just had to stop and collect myself so I would not break down. i slept on the tile floor because it was just too hot in the bed. I know, whine-whine-whine but it is hard to work the next day when you are so exhausted. The end of the week got better. We have not been out of power. But, myyyyy goodness, this heat has not let up.
My language is so running away without me. Where is it going? Probably to some deep, dark abyss in my subconscious, where it will hide until for some reason I need medical attention and they will do shock therapy on me and it will pour out. OOOOOOO always the drama queen :) I did have some good times with Rafia and then I was at a wedding and the Dagbani was all around me. Since I brought up this wedding, there were 2 cute things that I liked. 1--the pastor in his message said, " Research has shown that a woman appreciates the man being around more than his money." 2--a song had lyrics that said, "The tongue and the teeth work together and they don't get annoyed." I love the perspective people have here. It makes my world more larger and more colorful.
