Abena

Jeffrey came back early from hiking and got to met and talk with Abena

 Every one left to go hiking except this young lady. She didn't feel very well and didn't want to go on the strenuous hike. Her name is Abena and she is a midwife in training and also going to school. She got special accommodations from her mission president to come live in Accra early so she could sign up for school. She also signed up to work in the hospital. Because the Lord answered her prayers she is able to do both - go to school and go to work - which is extremely rare! For her work she had a little miracle as the government decides where new workers in hospitals work to make sure there are enough workers in every area. She was very lucky she found a spot in Accra close to her school that opened up when she clicked on that particular hospital. She also teaches seminary at night. Very busy with not a lot of sleep time.

Her mother is the one who first went to our church and told Abena she would like this church because they didn't yell and shout. The story of how her mother got to the church in the first place was hilarious but I can't remember the story except our church was closer than the one she meant to go to.

Abena went on a mission after being a member of the church for only two years and now is working hard to be a midwife.
