W'apow mu e, 

Joe took the kids to school this morning.  Then, we went into town.  

We went to the post office and had six packages.  Two boxes were Bibles, and the others all had stuff for Bonnie's birthday.  There was a new man working the package window today.  The whole time Joe was at the package window, I was sitting there praying that they would not charge us an arm and a leg to receive the packages.  They actually asked for less than our friend who worked the package window before.  That was a blessing!  

From there, we headed to the market circle.  I found a couple things for Bonnie's birthday.  Joe picked up a suit that a tailor made for him.  Then, he got some bulk meat while I got groceries.  The Lebanese man who sells things in bulk has been our friend for several years.  He is a Muslim, but he is now calling Joe "his pastor."  We are praying that he will one day get saved.  Joe told him today that he is going to Israel for a week.  He told Joe that he sometimes envied him because he was always doing good for others even if others did not care.

Joe took me out for lunch.  Then, we stopped to get fuel for the generator and the mower.  We took everything home.  I stayed at the house to wrap birthday presents while Joe went to pick the kids up from school.

Joe leaves tomorrow to go to Accra.   From there, he will catch a flight to Israel on Monday.  He will be gone for a little over a week.  Bonnie's birthday is on Tuesday, but we celebrated it tonight since Joe won't be here.  Pray for safety for Joe as he travels.

I made a cake.  Then, I made pizza.  I got the cake frosted while the pizza baked.  Martin came to get in on the party.  Joe, Martin, and the kids played another new game while I got supper ready.

Bonnie had fun opening her presents.  I'll post some pictures later.

Nantsew yie!
