Monday was a normal day at the office. And our meeting with the President in the afternoon went well. Wayne wasn't feeling 100% yet, but he could manage.
Monday night (early Tuesday morning) I heard the alarm on the office elders van like someone was opening the door. And then I heard the car drive out of the gate. Thought it was weird, but no one was screaming or anything.
Then it started raining in the morning and really came down for a while and of course, the electricity went off. We found out later that the sisters in Mankessim had a fire in their apartment and the Assistants had to go get them and bring them back to Abura to spend the night. They were soaking wet and cold when they finally got to Abura.
They fixed everything up in the apartment and they actually got to go back to their
apartment that night. No one hurt and nothing lost.
The President and Assistants left Tuesday morning for the western region for Zone Conferences. Needless to say the assistants were very tired. Before the President left, he came over to the office and told us they would be painting our office along with the mission home. He also told us that we would have to take Elder Oforikumah to Winneba again and then take him to the Area Doctor in Accra. We were really excited!?!
Tuesday night we got everything ready in case we had to spend the night in Accra. I always walk around the house bare footed and when I went into the bedroom, I did not see the big fire ant and sure enough, it bit me on the toe. Wow, did that hurt! And it ached most of the night.
Anyway, Wednesday we left about 8:30 am and got to Winneba hospital to wait to see the doctor. After 2 1/2 hrs. I asked Elder O. if he wanted to wait any longer and he said no. So we left for Accra. We went straight to the Accra Mission home. We called Elder Anderson (area doctor) and he told us he would pick Elder O. up at 9:00 am on Thursday. We just left Elder O at the mission home. It was a sad day for us.
We're hoping he will be able to complete his mission at a later date.
So we spent the night in Accra and came home Thursday morning to the mess. And they used a green color on part of the wall that looked like pea green soup. Awful.
Thursday night, I started feeling pretty punk and had a terrible headache. I thought it might be from smelling the paint all day. But things got worse Thursday night. I didn't go into the office on Friday. Spent most of the day Saturday in bed and didn't go to church. Whatever it was, it knocked me for a loop.
That's about it for this week.
We love you and miss you all.
