No, No, No.....not mine!!! Two of my new friends here in Ghana were married today. My first Ghanain Wedding. Ms. Alberta Yankey and Mr. Collins Forson work with me at OAVI. Alberta taught ICT (computer skills) and Collins teaches Draughtsmanship. Alberta has resigned due to the marriage, but she and I worked very closely together. She is like a new daughter to me.
As you can see, her dress was very beautiful. I am not sure who made it for her, but they really did an excellent job. The wedding was at the First Assemblies Church of God. It was a very nice service even tho many things were very different for me. Alberta and Collins wanted me to sit up on stage as an honored guest during the wedding so I had a "birds eye view".
This week I have spent most of my time preparing my teaching plan and getting ready for the Herndons and my Dad to visit. However, I did manage to get some curtains up in my flat. Curtains really make a difference. I will show you a couple of pic with them up.
I believe that God is in control of our days and each event which occurs if only we allow him. He has blessed me with a group of neighbors who are wonderful and are looking after me. One of my neighbors is putting in a water pump to her unit. She has offered to connect my unit to her pump so that I will not have to carry water from the well to the house. I am not able to pay her anything for this offer and yet she wishes to help me in this way. This is such a great blessing.
Next week should be a busy week with school and the clinic reopening. All the students/staff will need to receive deworming medications and about 35 will need Hepatitis B vaccines. And, we plan to start our WBS classes back up as well. Please pray for safe journeys for the students as they come back to school and for God's blessings as we take one day at a time to glorify him in all we do..
Matt 6:31,33-34 So do not worry, saying "What shall we eat?" or "What shall we drink?" or "What shall we wear?" But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
