Lunch at the Garden Again




Saturday evening in Aburi. We had another fabulous day - which is what we call plastering, sweeping, picking nails out of the old ceiling joists, helping the carpenters, digging out a dead tree, mixing cement, and lots of talking and laughing! The spirit is good through the day. We began by learning at Ghanaian praise song with the workers. Great way to begin. Then to the Garden again for lunch - and a walk through the garden. Photos to follow - I can't post here it is too slow. We walked into the market a couple times to buy more supplies and equipment. There was a big funeral at the Methodist church (there is also a Presbyterian church, both made of stone and quite large) with many people in attendance. All dressed in black or red - John says that Ghanaians have wonderful celebrations at funerals. We stopped and bought papayas, mangoes and avocados for dinner - lots of delicious pineapple left too. We are exhausted and happy with what we are doing. Tomorrow morning John comes to get us at 8 AM to go to Budaburam for Sunday service. We are looking forward to that. Keeping praying for us - we are well and happy to be useful.

Thank you for the Blogg messages.
They make me feel as if such a great distance does not separate my daughter from me. It's a blessing to know what you are doing.
