Sunday Feb.8

English Service was at 8 AM this morning and Pastor Turkson asked if we would take his 3 children with us, which we did.  Twice during the service the little ones left their service/Sunday School to come and ask for money; the first time for biscuits (cookies) and the second time for offering, and we obliged both times.  After church we talked briefly with Evelyn Nimako who is in her final year at university and hopes to go to England next year for her masters in business accounting.  Two other children that are known to Lois hitched a ride with us as they live only a block away.

            With the extra load the muffler (converter) was hitting the pavement over every bump.  I looked underneath when we got home and the exhaust system seemed to be attached to the exhaust manifold at the front and at the tail pipe at the back and nothing in between.  Kenneth, our mechanic, will look after it tomorrow. 

            After lunch my friend Paul the taxi driver from last year, was to come and visit with his wife and baby.  He had misplaced his phone and was looking for it so Nancy and baby Rachel (1 year) came without him and with her friend Mathilda.  We discovered that they live about 2 blocks down the hill from us on the same side of the street.  We visited for a while and then watched the first half of the movie, “Jesus” from Luke.  John Asamoa who lived in this house with us last year also dropped in for a visit. How wonderful it was to see him.  He also is at University to study Business Administration with the goal of becoming an accountant.  He is such a good man and we hope to visit with him again before we leave here.

            I am not impressed with Ghana Telecom and called the head of Internet Services on Sunday afternoon to report that he had not gotten back to me and his man had not come for installation.  He says he will get onto it tomorrow, perhaps to rid himself of my calls.
