Sunday night we had some rain. It wasn't much, but it cooled things down. And also all the bugs and creatures come out.
This snail was working his way across the grass. Hope a bird doesn't see him.
Also after it rains there are thousand of bugs on our front porch. This bird was eating them all up until I came to the door. I caught his flying away.
These birds make the most horrible sound. And it is really loud.
And this is the side of our house after the rain. These are all over in the house after a rain storm also.
Tuesday, the Sorensens came down to spend the night with us and then take Elder Oforikumah to the hospital in Winneba. They had to get the stitches out this time and also to get his foot 90 degrees to his leg so that next week he can start putting weight on it. So the electricity went out at the hospital and the generator was working, but they couldn't take any xrays. But the doctor was able to put another cast on and send him home.
Wednesday for us was MLC. Wayne had to get up again and tell the Zone Leaders to train their zones on how to do the paperwork for money the church gives to them for extra travel and doctor visits.
Here's the Supply Elders telling everyone that they will only be getting an allotment of dish washing soap, bleach and hand soap. When they run out they will have to buy the items with their own money.
Wayne teaching.
The Assistants talked to them about transfer news. The president is tired of having missionaries call around and say things about areas and missionaries being transferred that aren't very nice. So no one will know where they are going until Wednesday and who their companion is.
President talked about the Book of Mormon and how the missionaries can get the people to read and ponder its message.
Friday was the day for the new trainers to come and be taught by President Stevenson. There were 13 of them. We were in the office trying to get the internet to work.
I think the president felt sorry for us. They invited us out to dinner Friday night. We went to a brand new hotel that was built up on the hills in Cape coast. It was very nice.
I had chicken and rice. Wayne had fish and chips ???? We waited for 45 mins. for our meals to come.
Saturday was cleaning, cooking and baking day. We will be housing 4 sisters on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. And the Assistants and Supply elders invited themselves over for dinner on Saturday also. I made 40 biscuits and some Sausage gravy and chicken gravy. Everything was gone. No left overs at all!
After dinner they made the transfer calls to all of the zone leaders. And then we had dessert.
Can't wait to get to Accra to restock my cupboards.
So on Sunday, we were suppose to have Fast and Testimony meeting. But it was Ward conference. When the bishop stood up he said that it was fast Sunday and Ward Conference. REALLY!!!
The Stake President asked some people to bear their testimonies and then he spoke. Weird!
But here is the choir singing.
They all had red ties on. And they did a good job.
Sunday night we had a small tropical storm. The wind was horrible and the rain came down like torrents. We had a tree blow over in our compound. I had to mop up water in our bedroom, kitchen and one of the other bedrooms where windows were on the east side of the house. The rain just came through the window casings. I sure know now that I don't ever want to be in a hurricane or any tropical storm. It was scary! And of course, our electricity went out.
YEAH for Ghana!
Actually, I love it here.
So that was our week.
We love you and miss you all.
