We walked to our first Sunday worship service this morning. It wasn’t short. Rather it was about 2.5 hours long. Tracy and Stephanie sat through it all, but I arrived an hour late with the kids, with the goal of increasing our endurance over time.
After church, we visited Ben and Awo for lunch. The food was amazing, and Mark, particularly, enjoyed the rice with beef sauce. We discussed education, politics, theater, energy, and shoes, among other things. By the way, lunch means arriving at 1:30 and departing at 4:30.
Addottey, the Ghanaian Calvin student I’ll be supervising for an independent study project throughout January, stopped by our flat this evening. In addition to discussing his upcoming work, we chatted about his experiences re-acculturating to Ghanaian life after two years away.
Tomorrow’s goal is completing Mark’s admission at Roman Ridge (uniforms, etc.) and making more calls about schools for Catherine.
Here is a photo of the central living space of our flat. All boxes are gone, and most things now have a place!
