March 20 to April 2

  

The Mission President and couples from our mission went to dinner with the Mission President from the Accra West Mission to a nice restaurant called Magellan 22. 

Meg had chicken curry.

I had a very good lobster thermador.

We went to Ho, which is about 150 km NE of Accra to a district conference and took in some of the sites and activities such as climbing this hill to get a good view. 

It was not Kilimanjaro but is was high enough for us!

 

Along the way we visited the missionaries in the Kpando apartment. 

We also went to Wli falls which was a 3 km hike to get to during the hot time of the day: 33 C with high humidity.

There were a lot of big bats flying around the falls.

Along the trail some workers were upgrading a bridge over a small creek.  

What I found interesting was the workers had cut down a tree and sawed out the planks at the location, instead of bringing in the wood, as evidenced by the sawdust on the trail.

 

While in the Ho  house, a downpour of rain took place and flooded the hallway.  Fortunately, it stayed in the hallway and did not get into any other rooms. In the past when the young missionaries lived in the house they would put water in the hall and have wet sliding competitions.

The power also went out and we had to rely on just the batteries from the solar panels - it was a very hot night.

Anyways the power was restored the next day and we attended a very good district conference held in a meeting room at the Chances Hotel.

We enjoy eating with the missionaries such as the sister missionaries in Tema.

The missionaries in Ashaiman

The missionaries in Tema New Town at Pizza Hut.

And the missionaries at Senchi in the local dive.

We visited these missionaries in Kpong and they played some good music for us.

I have become very domesticated in that I am ironing my shirts.

We went with the Paces and Lamberts to a very nice mini-golf course.

  

Eating out once again at Bistro 21 with some other senior missionaries on Friday night.
