Yep, another update

Getting mostly settled back in now!  After a few more days of crazy busy with painting, cleaning, and re-arranging and our home was ready for use - just in time for a new Bible study with a husband and wife couple which we are very excited about.
Happy to help paint!
Looking forward to more contacts developing into regular studies as well.  Lots of spiritual meat this past week as there was a men's seminar on Thursday-Saturday which was encouraging and full of Biblical discussion and lessons.  It was great to see friends from afar who came in for the seminar and the wives and kids had fun fellowship in our home.  After a great assembly and fellowship meal on the Lord's Day, we started back into the regular routine of school each morning.  Going into the school and hearing a chorus of "Mr. O! Mr. O!" shouts from all the little ones was fun :)

Teaching new songs

The University has still not resumed classes, so our brother-in-Christ Moses (who is normally busy with classes and lectures as a pharmacy student at the university) has some extra time while waiting to see when the University will re-open.  He has been a huge helper with the on-going task of laminating all the PACEs for use in the school.

We are thankful that the banking issue is somewhat resolved with a successful transfer of funds to a different bank and can now begin working on projects at school!


It all keeps us pretty busy and by Friday night this is how we party 😆😆😆

A Time to Build Up, Laugh, and Dance

Image
     These past couple of months have been full of many group/Church team-building activities. We were blessed to have friends and family from around the world visiting us through the Christmas time. We were especially thankful for our newly rented home that we could host four families (21 guests) in. It was very busy but everything was merrier being able to do everything together. The men took a trip up north for the annual Bolgatanga Men's Meeting. As usual we camped out in the open up on the rocky hills and had a super time of teaching, preaching, singing, etc.   Afterwards we had our Annual Staff Christmas Party back in Kumasi. God has been faithful to us year after year so we get together as staff and have a little fun and games and food :) , and then individually give testimonies of significant things God has done for us and in us. It was a great time! This was followed by our annual school kids Christmas Presentation. This time each teacher was responsible for  coming

A Do-It-Yourself Move

Image
Y ou know how moving to a different house can flip your world upside down for a while? Yep!  It's been pretty crazy around here, but we are sooooooo thankful and excited!  We finally got all moved into our new home right next to the school!  Believe it or not, the landlords still haven't finished the plumbing (our water tank still leaks), the electrical work (some parts of the house still need sockets and wiring), or the painting (they did finish inside but the entire outside hasn't been touched) but we had to go ahead and make the move anyway because the summer school break was fast approaching the end!  So far, we are extremely happy with the QUIETER street; more room for the kids and guests; wonderful cool breezes we get here; and being able to pop right over to the school/assembly building to help serve more!  We are beyond grateful and appreciative to all who helped make this move possible! Yup, the workers were tiling the kitchen by the light of their cellphone

Field Day Fun!

Image
The year of school has drawn to an end with a flurry of final tests, report cards, farewells, and a fabulous, fun final day out in the botanical gardens on the nearby university campus.  What fun it was to be together out in an open grassy field to bring closure to the year of hard work, training, education, and diligent child care.  We especially thank God for the cloud cover which gave shady, cooler weather but didn't rain on us. Get ready! Get set!......... ....And GO!!!! We had games, races, balloons and bubbles   So much enjoyable fellowship filled with laughter among friends, siblings, staff and students.                                                           Yummy picnic snacks       Hurray for the Helpful, hard-working staff and several volunteers who came out to help! Our favorite aspect of this day was seeing what makes our school extra-special.  Everyone i
