Rusty Johnson and Perry Martin made it into Accra this morning. They were 1 ½ hours late because before they left New York someone realized that they had packed their medicine in their luggage that was put in the belly of the plane instead of in their carry on. The baggage crew had to off load the luggage and find the piece they needed. Even though they were late getting into Accra they still had enough time to collect their luggage and make the flight to Tamale. They arrived shortly after 1:00 this afternoon. It was good to see them.
The first order of business this afternoon was to go to SWAD and get something to eat. We were all hungry. Then we went to the market to see what we could see in the Juju stalls. We also stopped by the cultural center to do a little shopping. While we were there we heard serious drumming. When we went to investigate we found a group of young people doing traditional drumming and dancing. It was too hot today to be jumping around like that outside!
I spent the morning working on the books, entering receipts and editing class material.
Perry got a room that was not up to par. The compressor on his air conditioner is not coming on and his shower is leaking so badly that it cannot be used. He came over to our room and took a shower so at least he feels human again. The hotel staff is trying to get his air conditioner working. He is a trooper! He said that at least he had a ceiling fan over his bed. If they can’t get the air conditioner to work he will have to move to another room.
It is almost time to go to the hotel restaurant for a bit of supper.
Take care and send our regards to everyone.
In His Service,
Jack, Perry, Rusty, Steve and Kandie
