This morning, I woke up and let Prince in so he could get some Milo (a chocolate drink) before heading down to Mpatado. Once he had gotten his drink and had finished it, I let him back out. While he was gathering kids up, I ate breakfast, got ready, then headed to the village to meet up with Prince.

I got to the village around 8:30, which is the time we are supposed to leave, but none of the kids were ready, and we did not leave the village for another forty-five minutes. Although we were about twenty minutes late to church, at least we made it. We had a good Sunday School hour, and I led the singing for the main service. After leading singing, Bro. Arhin and I went to our Jr. Church class. We are starting to get into the flow of things, and it is starting to get more and more fun. We had a fun lesson about David and Goliath today.

Missionary on Fire Podcast

Preserving the Legacy of Faithful Missionaries

The Missionary on Fire podcast features interviews with veteran missionaries, classic sermons from the field, and stories of God’s faithfulness across generations. If you love the heart behind these stories, you will love the podcast. New episodes regularly.

After the service, we gathered up the kids who needed to go back to the village and road our tro-tro back to the house. Once I got inside, I heated up some leftovers. There was not much, but it was enough to satisfy. After lunch, I went up to my room for the afternoon. I was able to get in a pretty good rest before getting ready for church.

I asked Pastor Kenney drive me to church as he was also on his way to church. I got to the church at 5:00 P.M. for choir practice; but the power was out, so we did not get to practice this week. Thankfully, just before the service started, the power came back on. We had a good service. After the service, I talked with some of the kids for a few minutes before having one of the guys catch a taxi for me. I was able to make it back to the house for 3 cedis (about 30 cents). I had the driver take me to the junction; then, I walked the rest of the way home.

On my way home, I was able to FaceTime my dad and talk to him for about an hour until I lost connection. 🙁 I then ate supper, washed the dishes, and headed up to my room for the evening. I am now finishing up the blog and then going to get cleaned up. It is currently 9:17 P.M.; so, I am hoping to be in bed by 10:00 P.M.

  1. it was nice talking to you! The Kenny’s ride to church sounded like a good idea to me too! The village ministry is my favorite part of Africa and I am so glad you are a part of it. Its my prayer that one day a church will be established there and you will have great memories of helping!
