Glimpses of our Life in Ghana

Easter morning we had a sunrise service at the beach.  You rarely see the sun at the horizon here. It most often pops out from the haze or a bank of clouds. We were actually thankful for clouds that morning. It would have been very hot other wise. After church we went back to Tom's for breakfast. By noon we were at home taking our naps! Kenny had off from school Friday and Monday for the holiday weekend. We took it easy, went to the beach, caught up on all the odds and ends, went fishing, and just enjoyed living! It was the perfect timing for a long weekend. Kenny knew a bit what he needed to do to get ready for the next weeks of school and had the extra time to do it. These are the New Hope students.  Class room time. Ebeneezer and Emmanuel working on a moto. Joseph and the other Emmanuel working on the bus. Gideon working on a mower. These five keep Kenny busy keeping them busy! One of the main problems right now is finding parts takes so much t

These trees are Kenny's absolute favorite thing in Africa. He took this picture one Sunday evening on a moto ride. I think I should add a Bible verse and frame it! Our house is now fenced and gated. It is necessary because of Molly but also nice to give us a bit of space. Not so many people just walking in. We sit out behind the village. The sides of the road are covered with trash. They heap it on a pile and burn it occasionally but it blows around. Plus most people just throw things where they happen to land. I keep thinking about paying a few children with candy to pick up a bag full every day or something. The shortcut trail through the back of the village. Walking only! The blue building is a small store. On above and below pictures. But two different stores. Atonkwa is kind of on a hill. You come into town at the bottom. You can turn left and loop around the side of the village or do what we do an go straight up the hill in the picture above.
