We were up at 6am this morning so we could get our walking done. It was important that we do the washing before we left for Yowando . This is the last day before we leave for Tamale tomorrow so we’re trying to get as much accomplished as possible.
Timothy’s house is on the way to Yowando. When we stopped to pick up Timothy, Matthew Unidon
asked if we would talk some business with him. That didn’t take any time at all and we were off to the village. It takes about 20 minutes from Timothy’s house to the church location. The congregation is small ; there were 45 people present including children. Everyone was happy to see us. Brother Samuel, one of the church leaders , taught the bible class and I was given the opportunity to preach. We met inside their building. There was a nice breeze blowing which helped it not to feel so hot.
After services there were several questions asked and we were thanked for the gifts that we brought to the Church. They were especially glad to receive the strong box we gave them to hold their important papers. From there we walked across the path to Emmanuel’s house. Emmanuel is one of the evangelists. Sadly he has some dementia and doesn’t get around well at all. He was in good spirits and we talked a few minutes with him. After seeing Emmanuel we headed back to Kulkpeni.
Timothy was dropped off at his house and we took off for Kpamang which is north of the compound about 10 miles to take some pictures of the cooking room and storehouse for the Kpamang School. On the way we met Divine’s motor king loaded and headed for Yendi. When we got to the village Divine was not around so we took the photos and headed back to the house. A couple of miles from the house we noticed Divine’s motor king on the side of the road. They had run out of gasoline which is not unusual around here. We pick up the guy walking to buy the gas and two ladies. We dropped the boy off at the bush gasoline seller and as we turned to go to the house the women got out.
After lunch we spent time working on some last minute changes on the payroll. Zorash came over around 3pm so we could take the three school uniforms to the orphan boy Kandie talked about a few days ago. His name is Ibrahim. He lives with his financially poor grandparents. Everyone loved the yellowish crème shirt and green shorts. Ibrahim is around 6 years old and I think he was worry because he has been through a lot. We never could get him to smile for the pictures. He will be happy tomorrow when he goes to school wearing his new uniform!
I will close for now. We still have some things to do before going to bed. Please keep us in your prayers for a safe trip to Accra and back home. May God bless!
In His service,
Stephen and Kandie Taylor
