Everything was going along nicely, Andrew and Michael had went to Kumasi for the day, Rebecca had been teaching Lucas in school and I was down in the office 'working'!! All pretty normal so far you might say...then it happened!! I could hear some talking and when i looked out the window i had to rub my eyes and look again!! There were 2 'obruni' girls walking past the clinic with back packs on.
As soon as I seen them I had to go and see what was going on. I introduced myself and discovered they were visiting Ghana from Germany, Susy and Nadine. They had arrived in Accra Saturday past and had left Kumasi this morning aiming for a clinic in a village on the lake called 'opovu' (well thats what it sounds like!) and they had walked all the way from Beposo already only to find when they reached our clinic it was not the right one!! Some of the workers went on to say it was the next village after Doompa which in itself is a 2 hour walk...wow!! They weren't quite sure what to do...I found out if it would be possible to take them in the clinic boat, so someone rushed off to get Isaac and I went to find Becca and our adventure for the day began!!
Rebecca, Susy, Nadine and Me...waiting on the boat!We travelled across the lake with the 2 girls and found the clinic which is run by 'New Life Ghana'...
...but there was no one about.
Susy had worked here for a number of months 3 years ago but no one she remebered was there as she had not been able to contact anyone to tell them she intended to come visit.
So we sang and chatted to the little group of children that was gathering (...they seem to have some kind of sixth sense about 'obruni's' arriving) while they tried to find someone she knew!!
Susy and Nadine had hoped to stay at the clinic for a few days before travelling on further north. But this did not appear to be an option as there was no one she knew!! So Rebecca and I offered our spare bedroom - so we've got some house guests :)
It's good to have some fresh faces about the place - you never know who God is going to send your way!!
Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. Hebrews 13:2
So no doubt the next day or 2 will hold some more adventures as we try to help them on their way!
The building work is also reaching an exciting stage as they are starting to plaster the exterior walls and there was maybe not siniging from the rooftops but definitely some work being done on the roof today which is awesome.
