On Monday we went into Alajo to pick up some things. From having Malaria last week I didn't have that much of a desire to eat anything, though I did because I knew my body needed food. I guess the medicine I took reduces the desire to eat- what a great diet tool.
Tuesday we went to a member's house who has a daughter that would like to join the church before she heads off to boarding school on the 10th of January. We are happy for the news. One thing here is that boarding schools are much more common than they are in the states. The boarding age starts at grade school age, but it's much more common from middle school going. Also for this week as time is counting down for me to return I want to give all that I can considering the opportunity I have been given.
Thursday our investigator named Pearce told us that he received his US visa to move to Chicago and join his wife who is working at Northwestern Hospital. In all honesty it's starting to seem that Pearce isn't wanting to come to the church anymore, but if we do run into each other in the states that would be a lot of fun.
Saturday there was a little ward party for the end of the year. A lot of churches do a "watch night/ cross overnight" for the entrance of the new year. One of the cultural things of Ghana is how intertwined religion is with everyone here.
