W'apow mu e,
Joe took the kids to school. Then, he took the vehicle to the mechanic; the clutch was going out. Ronnie Walker met him at the mechanic. Ronnie needed Joe to show him where the immigrations office is. The Walkers usually cross the border into Ivory Coast, but the border has been closed for over a week now. So, they will have to renew paperwork through Immigrations.
We got our absentee ballots via e-mail. We printed them out, filled them out, and took them to the post office to make sure they will arrive in the States on time. It was nice to be able to receive them by e-mail. When we were in Ivory Coast, we went to the US Embassy to vote. We are four hours away from the US Embassy in Ghana. So, it worked out great to be able to do it a different way.
The kids had a good day at school. They all rested for a while so that they would stay awake in church. We were all ready for church this evening, and the guard did not come. We thought we had finally found a dependable guard for church time, but we are not sure what happened tonight. Joe tried to call him, but his phone was turned off. So, Joe went on to church. The kids and I stayed to hold the fort. It was supposed to be a load shedding night, but thankfully the power stayed on.
