On Wednesday, President called and said that we needed to go check on a couple of missionaries. We had to travel to Saltpond and find them first. We called the District Leader to help with that. We spent a couple of hours with the two missionaries hoping to sort things out. It was not a pleasant thing to do.
Later on that night, we got a call from Samuel Laing (FM Coordinator). He told us that the guards at the mission home said there was water running inside the home. It came from the hose on back of one of the washing machines. I didn't go down but Wayne took the Supply Elders and went down to a mess. There was at least two - four inches of water in the laundry room, down the hall, into the President's office, a missionary bedroom, a bathroom, and the President bedroom and bathroom. All the throw rugs were soaking wet. They mopped for an hour or more. And threw everything outside that was wet, including boxes of things from the president's bedroom.
It was a late night.
Thursday, before the Hillams got home from Accra, we went and mopped up the remaining water. All of the curtains in the bedroom had to be taken down and dried. They are floor length curtains.
Friday, we were sitting in the office when there sounded like a parade outside on the street in front of the mission home. It was one of the schools around here and they were carrying signs that said - We promise to learn, we promise to study, etc. It was kind of cute to see them marching down the street.
Also on Friday and Saturday, our lawn got mowed and every trimmed. We are spoiled to have a gardener. Don't know what we will do when we get home. He does a wonderful job with just a machete.
Here is one of our Plantain trees we have in our compound. They grow up!!!
Saturday was a Ghana Service Day for all of the wards and branches throughout Ghana.
These are some of our missionaries cleaning windows at one of the hospitals here.
These sisters were discussing what to do next. There was lots of help.
Also on Saturday I got a picture of our monkey. I was taking the picture through a window, which evidently needs to be washed. Oh well, he's cute anyway.
He was sitting on our water tank framework. That is his tail. It was long.
I baked on Saturday, too. It was bread day. I made two loaves of zucchini, two loaves of banana and 2 loaves of regular white bread. And most of it is gone already.
We had 6 elders over for dinner on Sunday. I made a big pot of chili and baking powder biscuits. Everything was gone! Elder Masame is from Australia and he said this was his first experience having chili. He said he liked it and I hope he did. They didn't leave until 9:15 pm. They all just like to talk and tell us of their teaching experiences. It's awesome!
So that's all for this week.
We love you and miss you all.
