W’apow mu e,
We had a good morning at church. I had twenty-five in my class. There were forty in the auditorium class. Nine children came forward for salvation at the end of the service. It has been a blessing to see the young people responding to the gospel.
After the morning service, I started feeling sick. We came home, and I got lunch almost ready before I had to run to the bathroom.
Joe and the kids went to the evening service. They had a good service.
I had a very bad headache and was throwing up all night and again this morning. I was getting quite dehydrated. Joe was beginning to think that he might have to take me to the hospital. I was finally able to keep some toast down. Joe found a recipe for homemade gatorade. I drank some of that. I rested all morning and felt a little better this afternoon.
We were supposed to have the Harrison family over for lunch today. They are missionaries in Mali. They came to Ghana to visit family. While they were gone, their town in Mali was taken over by rebels. So, they are staying longer in Ghana. That is the family who Joe was helping with their paperwork. Joe and the kids met them at a restaurant in town for lunch. They were having some car problems. So, they came to our house after lunch. They were waiting for the mechanic to get back to his shop. They have two boys, ages 5 and 2. Our kids had a good time with them.
Joe and Dwayne went to see the mechanic. It was almost supper time when they got back. So, they ate supper with us before heading back out to where they are staying. We had a good time of fellowship with them.
After they left, I started feeling weak again. So, I sat in the chair and took it easy for the rest of the evening. Every one is tired, and we are all going to bed early tonight.
Nantsew yie!
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
