Last blog before I am out of Ghana.
Last week in Tamale was a blur. Goodbye-ing, packing, covering and giving things away kept me busy. But I am satisfied dust will not penetrate most things…and then I say, “who am I kidding? Of course it will! It is dust.” I prayed for someone to come and stay in my house while I am away but it was not meant to be. It will just be empty. The watchman will still come in the evenings.
It was also weird not to be studying Dagbani or preparing a lesson. Again, sigh of relief!
I came down to Accra on Tuesday. It is busy down here too. I have been with friends in the mornings and evenings. One outing with a friend included me going with him to a school where he shares a Bible message with the kids. He asked me to say something and I told the kids about being a missionary. Maybe it was practice for when I come home 🙂
I had plans to leave Ghana on Tuesday and travel to Spain for a week. I have a prayer partner there who used to be a missionary in Accra. I received an email from SIM recommending international travel only if necessary. Spain isn’t really necessary…well, I wish it was. How I was looking forward to going! But now I need to figure out what to do. My travel agent will not be in the office until Monday. I fly on Tuesday…cutting it close. I hope to just get home, with no quarantine. And in case you wonder, Ghana, as of today, has no people with the Coronavirus.
Be anxious for nothing…is my mantra.
Thanks for praying for this too!
