A Smooth Sunday

This morning, I woke up at 5:30 A.M. Prince was staying at the house and needed help trying to find an iron. Unfortunately, the only thing I could find was am ironing board. Once I realized I would not be able to find one, I tried going back to sleep. I had some weird cramps that kept me from sleeping well, but I was able to get a little bit more shut eye before waking up at 6:30 A.M. I locked the house up last night; so, Prince needed me to let him out so he could go to the village and round up the kids who were coming to church. I also had to put the dog away.

After putting the dog away and cleaning up after the dog, I let Prince out. Once he left, I went up to my room and got ready for the day. I got dressed, ate breakfast, got my water ready, etc. I left the house at 8:15 A.M. to walk to the village to meet up with Prince. We had eleven kids come from the village this week. The last two weeks we have had around seven; so, it is a blessing to see the route growing.

Once we got to church, we got things going. Bro. Arhin taught the Sunday school hour. Bro. Sammy preached the main service, and I got to teach one of the Sunday school classes with Bro. Arhin as my translator. We had 21 in our class, and a total of 110 at the service this morning. After the service, Prince and I rode with the kids back to their village. Once we had dropped them off, we took the ten minute walk back to the house. Once I got to my turn off, Prince and I parted ways. After getting inside, I heated up some KFC for lunch. Once I had finished eating, I went up to my room for the afternoon.

I had hoped to catch a taxi to go back to the church this evening, but I did not catch one until I had walked a mile and a half. I was finally able to get one to stop. I only had a half mile left to go; so, I probably should have walked the rest of the way because the driver overcharged me.

Once I got to the church, we had a good choir practice. After practice, we started the service, and everything went smoothly. Bro. Arhin preached a good message tonight. After the service, I had one of the guys help me catch a taxi. I had the taxi take me to a junction, and I walked the rest of the way from there, which was about half a mile or so. On my way home, I was able to FaceTime and talk to dad for a little while. We were also able to talk for a good while once I got home. After hanging up, I heated up some more KFC and enjoyed a good supper. After supper, I washed up the dishes and headed upstairs for the night.

I am currently finishing the blog. Then, I will be off to get cleaned up and head to bed. Tomorrow, I am planning on doing a bit of sweeping and mopping around the house. We are in the dry season; so, everything gets dusty very quickly. You know it is time to start cleaning when you can see where you have walked.
