Nalerigu

We got to Nalerigu today by lunch time and ate with the Hewitts.  Mona went all out for a delicous meal. We had lasagna, green beans, salad, rolls, chocolate chip cookies, and vanilla ice cream.  We all enjoyed it thoroughly.  The beef Mona had was absolutely delicious-much better than what I found in Accra.  

We are getting settled into one of the guest houses for now.  We are glad to have a bedroom for each of us again.  We have unloaded some of our groceries and other things and I've come to the school house/room to use the wi-fi.  Abigail is napping and Colt and Benton are playing together.  For those who may not know, the other family with children at home are Dr. Earl and Mona Hewitt.  They have a daughter, Emily, who is about 13, a daughter, Abby, who is about 11, and a son, Benton, who is about 8.  

All of the missionaries who are here right now are eating dinner together at another guest house to celebrate our arrival.  We feel very welcomed!  

In the last couple of days we have seen many interesting things.  On Sunday we saw many people walking home from church.  Some had plastic chairs on their head they were carrying home after using the chairs at church.  I even saw a couple of teenage? girls carrying large drums on their heads after apparently using them in worship that morning.  Makes you think about a lot of things, doesn't it?  

We will leave on Friday for Ouaga in Burkina Faso where the homeschool meeting is for two weeks.  Emily is excitedly packing for that while I am excitedly unpacking from being in limbo for a week!  

I guess that's it for now.  We are behind on email.  Thanks so much for sending them to us and we will catch up soon, we hope.
