Friday morning count down

The 200 plus bricks are drying well in the heat, and will be ready to use tomorrow. Somewhere in their midst is the one I made.

On a Sunday the Sunday school happens at present outside the mission house on these pews , and under the canopy. Not that it can cope with the numbers which is why once the toilets are completed they will build a pavilion for the children's work.

 The quarterly leaders meeting is taking place at Asebu today. To those who don't remember such names that's the circuit meeting to you and me. 

Ah so Revd will you preach? Here we go again no warning but somehow I muddle through. Constantly amused that as Superintendent I am introduced as the Right Reverend .....

Sitting back observing the meeting it is very traditional led by the superintendent Minister of the Moree circuit.  Revd Richard has only been here not quite a year, though his colleagues I knew from my previous visit. They were  very patient sitting as he led the meeting and doing quite a lot of the talking. He reckoned I preached very gently. Welł its hard when you are being translated to get the pace going. When talking about finance he wanted to know if the British church who used to sponsor the Ghanaian church were going to do so again? Only Asebu I retorted!

When we were singing I discovered that Eric is a mean drummer adding a bit of pace to the song.

I decided in the end after we celebrated communion, a great way to finish for me, to slip away from the meeting to finish my packing. I have had to borrow a suitcase to get things back trusting that one suitcase is not too heavy. If it is I can put more things into the other case. So that's it for travelling  lightly.

It may be that the kids or at least two of them will travel to Accra with me to wave me off.

So I have had my last plate of Jolfi Rice, packed and waiting for Eric to finish his meeting, have his own   meal and then set off. 

I will write more when I get to the airport as we will be there early to ensure no hold up on route. Get bags checked in and then relax. Hopefully I will get some sleep on the flight as we travel through the night.
