Trip Summary 2

This is Emmanuel he was my translator.

This is Margaret she was my translator for one day because Emmauel couldn't make it. It was great having a woman as a translator for a change. She told me she had worked for white people for over 20 years but she was having a hard time understanding me. I guess it was because of my Texas accent.

This is Paul I taught him and he was baptized. I'm not sure what is wrong with his arm but we gave him money so that he could go see the doctor. I had taught his sister earlier and when we were done she asked if I would go to her brother's house to teach him because he was sick and I said sure. We were walking to his house and it started raining and Emmanuel and one of the church members said we should turn back but I said a little rain never hurt anybody and that I was going to continue because there was a soul to be saved. His house was about the size of a walk-in closet and it was just the one room.

This is Martha she is one of the cooks, we are at a restaurant called Frankie's on the last day before we went to the airport.

Waiting for someone to come unlock the church building.

While I was teaching this lady it started raining and I had to yell to be heard over the rain because it was a tin roof.

This is my mom, Sarquah, me, Frank, and my dad one morning before we left the hotel to go to the villages.

That's all I'm going to post, if you want to see more pictures let me know.

Trip Summary

It was an amazing experience. We had 168 baptisms in all. My parents came home on May 29th but I stayed till June 3rd with two others. There were 5 of us all together and 2 cooks, 2 translators/coordinators, and a driver. I got sick and had to stay back at the hotel one day, it was no fun, I wished I was out with everyone else teaching the gospel. I think I'm going to tell you the rest through pictures and captions.

On the way to Ghana we had a lay over in Amsterdam so we took a tour and went to a wooden shoe factory.

and here I am at the Rembrandt statue on the tour.

Now for pictures from Ghana...

This is the Hotel we stayed at it is called The Homestead Guest House. It's not to bad it has air conditioning and running water which to me is living in luxury over there because I expected less. Well we stayed at the same place last year so before I went last year I expected less.

Here is a picture of one of the 168 baptisms we had. It was one of the first baptisms of the campaign.

This is a picture of some kids watching my mom while she is trying to teach them a song.

Well it won't let me add any more pictures to this one so I will create another blog entry with more pictures.
