We attended Agape House church this morning, where worship services combine Ghanaian musicians, American praise music (all but one song in English), and Southern Baptist preaching that bordered on properity gospel. Although Catherine and Mark enjoyed it, today may be our last visit.
In the afternoon, we prepared the flat for Tracy’s re-arrival. (It wasn’t quite a bachelor’s pad but definitely needed tidying). We visited the Institute of African Studies for unmetered internet. I met my student Addottey to discuss energy issues in Accra. And, we met Tracy and the semester students as they checked into International Student Hostel. Tracy proceeded to a dinner while the kids and I failed in our attempt to FaceTime with Tracy’s side of the family.
As of 8:15, Tracy’s back! (Seen below.) But, she’s quite sick with a cough and chest congestion, possibly caused by ingesting Harmattan dust in the north. Thankfully, there’s no fever. Let’s hope she gets over it quickly, because she has orientation at 7:30 AM tomorrow with the semester students.
