Church in Amakom

Isnt tecnology wonderful!!

I am currently sitting in the Clinic office where there is wifi internet...superb. It's a really hot day so the coolness of the air conditioning is most welcome.




The clinic sign - the door to the office is just behind it


We visited the Pentecostal church this morning which was a great experience. Plenty of dancing and lots of singing with a message about planting good seed in our lives and how calling must come from God. this was thankfully transalted from Twi by Michael.

Michael, Holly and I setting out for church (Rebecca took the picture)

I have experienced a little Ghanaian cooking so far and that was red red which was pretty good and of course fried plantain chips which are fast becoming a favourite. there is plenty of fruit available with fantastic banana's and huge mango trees in the grounds of the clinic. superb!

Oh and how could i forget - another first...

...first fright!!! - the HUAGE spider on the floor of Rebecca's room last night. I can do any insect except spiders and it was the daddy of all spiders!!!

Oh and another first - a spectacular thunder and lightning storm yesterday afternoon - the rain was pelting down and it was great to be able to sit on our porch and just look out at it, amazing. (ive a feeling thats a word i'm going to be using a lot over the next wee while!!)

Hey Louise!

Glad to see you're settling in so well. Wi-fi must be such a bonus =)

Looking forward to hearing more from you!

Hey Lou,
Delighted to hear you have arrived safely - and so impressed with your timekeeping!! Liking the sound of mangoes and bananas on tap - are they a viable alternative to plantain?!?! Looking forward to hearing all about your adventures over the coming weeks.
Much love and prayers,
Helen and Alan
