Monday Morning

 Early in the morning we took Jeffrey to the Airport to fly to the Ivory Coast. Then we went to get Covid tests results for the girls. Prayers answered that they were negative.

Bernice came early and dropped off items for her grandchildren, Sister Despain (who is leaving to return from her mission goes to Utah on the same flight as Susan) came by with items to give, and we realized that the three of us were in orange and that Bernice had made all the outfits!

A little later, a man came to add robes for a wedding later in the year in Utah. We told Wisdom that he needed to have everything he wanted taken to Utah here by 4 pm. Susie is the ultimate packer and Rebekah is very organized. She left some clothes here because she wanted a smaller carry-on. They left a suitcase in our apartment that had followed Rebekah around for years so they would only have the two suitcases to return to the Littles and their carry-on. My heart was touched that Rebekah decided to take one of the suitcases so Susie wouldn't have to drag it around to her car in the night (there is snow in Utah).

Then we called Dumevi and told him we were ready to see the sights of Ghana. The last hoorah!

Ready for our next adventure!

A taxi drove the exact same roads I had gone on Thursday but with much more daring and confidence. We first went to the Black Star Memorial to look at history. Click here for information on this place and here. 

Then we went to the museum we missed on Thursday. Kwame Nkrumah’s Mausoleum. It needs some maintenance but if you look at this site you can see what it looked like years ago and read its significance of the first beloved president. I didn't take any pictures inside as I wasn't sure what was or wasn't allowed, but I had permission to take pictures outside.

The pool is not working right now, but look at the link and see what it once was.

We looked at a beautiful convertible that had been his and walked through the memorial.

Then Dumevi in his wisdom had us go to the beach. I had no idea there was a little snippet of the coast in Accra that was peaceful and beautiful, but he found it and we sat under the shade and just enjoyed the view and talked a little about everything. Dumevi told a story about a man who knew he would visit with food, that melted my heart. Dumevi gave us a drink of a fruit that was very nice. The feeling and peace was very nice. Life is good. Having good friends is important. God's tender mercies are very important in my life.

A little gateway to peace and beauty

I made no mention of what that beach in the distance was really like. Here is nice.

We wrapped up the day a little early and went back to the apartment to finalize what was and what was not going on the airplane and weighed everything.  Wisdom came 20 minutes before 4 pm and his items only weighed two pounds - win. Everything was ready to go and we left before it was dark. 

I have to admit it was a very empty apartment that night. But actually we had had so many answers to prayer that I felt good and comforted. Probably the answer to Susan's prayers. Life is good.
