Loading a Transport and Doing Some Shopping

Today marks the beginning of my third full week in Ghana, while yesterday marked my first full week without my parents and siblings. I started off the morning by waking up at 6:50. I did a few things in my room and came down for breakfast. Bro. Ruckman had prepared a egg and cheese sandwich. It was very good.

After breakfast, we had some guys from the church show up to help us load the transport. We carried over 100 boxes to the front porch so that we could easily load them in the transport. The transport driver was supposed to arrive at 8:00 A.M.; but when we called, he said he had not left Cape Cost, which is an hour or two away. We were able to figure out what happened, and we had to get a local driver to take the load to its destination.

Once we had finished with the transport ordeal, we took showers and got ready to go shopping. We left the house around 11:30 A.M. to get necessities. Those necessities also included Pizza Hut, which we had for lunch:). When we had finished shopping, we went home, and everyone took a much needed rest before church this evening.

When we had finished resting, we ate supper and got ready for church. Church went very well this evening. Bro. Ruckman preached a very eye-opening message. It had many truths that I had never heard or at least I had never understood, until this evening.

After the service, Bro. Ruckman and Mrs. Angie talked with some of the young men and women from the church. I enjoyed seeing them fellowship, and I was able to fellowship a little with some of the young kids.

We are now home, drinking homemade smoothies. They are so good. I will then work on my Fante homework, and prepare for bed. I do not know what the plans are for tomorrow, besides having Fante class, but I am sure the day will be filled with activity.
