This morning when we went to get in the car for church, we had a flat tire.  It was the tire that Joe had replaced on Friday.  It had a nail in it.  He didn't have the tool he needed to remove the spare tire.  So, we took a taxi to church.

Harmattan was very thick today.  (Harmattan is the fallout from sandstorms in the Sahara Desert.)  The sky was so full of dirt that it was a much cooler day.  It was in the 70s when we got up this morning.  The Ghanaians were so cold.  One little girl in my class was all bundled up in a winter coat; she kept it on all morning with it zipped up to her chin.  Our attendance was down due to the weather.  But, we had good services.  When Sunday school started, I just had my three kids, but I had 20 by Junior Church time in the six and under class.  My helper did not come until church was almost over.  So, there was no translator for the Fante speakers, but we made it through.

The taxi took us home after the services.  After lunch, Joe went in search of a place to get the tire fixed.  Not many places like that are open on Sunday.  He finally found a place.

While Joe was out trying to get the tire fixed, Bonnie escaped from the house.  She was supposed to be taking a nap.  When Joe got home, Bonnie was out under the trees "teaching" her Bible Club.  Joe said that she had a group of children lined up from tallest to shortest and was teaching them, "Oh be careful little hat whom you trust."

We got to go to church in our vehicle tonight.  We had a good service with ten in attendance.  

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
