Time is Growing Short

 My heart is full, a little sad, but happy that I have known Elder and Sister Hymas on this mission in Accra. Last Tuesday we picked them up from the airport at rush hour. Jeffrey and I left when their plan was to land because we knew the traffic was going to be bad and take some time. 4:30 - 5 pm is the start of rush hour and is never a good time to go traveling. 

Wow! They walked off their plane, no lines for Covid testing, got to the baggage carousel with their luggage waiting and got their results for the test - that was negative - and walked out the door to the parking lot just as we drove in! How did that happen? I think it was partly because Jeffrey was driving and knows how to edge his way into lanes. 

We decided to go out to eat while the traffic died down and enjoy each others company for the evening. They will be leaving to go back to the States (after a little trip) and I won't be able to call her and hang anymore. This is one of the last suppers we will have together.

Hibiscus is a really terrific restaurant where everything looked and tasted great! We started out with mint lemonade and a pineapple/ginger for me. Jeffrey just had to try the mint lemonade and loved it too.

             

The food was tasty and looked great

The conversation flowed, the weather was breezy and cool - not cold, and there were no mosquitoes. All around wonderful evening. We topped it off by sharing a dessert that melted in the mouth.

Two ties to this family. Matthew knew them in Puerto Rico and his mission and we have gotten to know them on ours. I wonder if our children have any ties together?
