Week of 3 October 2016

We had one easy week this week.  I have started putting the "Akwaaba" packets together for the 21 missionaries we will be receiving on the 26th and the "Safe Journey" packets for the 17 Elders and Sisters going home.

We did have MLC on Tuesday and while the Zone Leaders, APs and President Stevenson were meeting, Wayne and I took the chance to walk on the ocean beach and get to Baptism Beach.  This is the beach where they were doing baptisms even before the missionaries came.  Of course they all had to be done again, but thousands were done because they all believed in the gospel.

It was a beautiful day but still hot and humid.

We got a picture of a fishing boat up close.  This is one that the people make out of a tree.

There are palm trees up and down the coast

So we went back for lunch.  Here is a picture of the chicken and rice we eat all the time.  The little packets are water.  They call them sachets.  

The red sauce is very spicy.  Burn the tongue and make you sweat kind of spicy.

And a picture of the Ola Chapel.

  

So I was cleaning the curtains again and guess what dropped on the floor.  Yep, more baby squirrels.  This time I got a picture of them.  They all were making little chirping noises.  I was afraid the mother would come and attack me.  So we got rid of them quick.  But here's all three of them.

We had another baptism on Saturday.  There were three people baptized.  

Elder Johnson on the left.  Then Mercy, Sylvester and Elder Simpson.

And Mercy's daughter Chikka in front.  Elder Johnson has a "Kinte" tie on.  It is the native material of Ghana.  We tell them to smile, but you can see what we get.

It rained again most of the day Saturday and all day Sunday.  And the power went out for about an hour and a half.  It got mighty warm in our house.  But we survived.

That was our week.  We miss you and love you all.
