Our Last Full Day

It was a little more difficult to wake up this morning after we have had a few days to sleep in. Everybody is just a little worn out. 

At JHS chapel today, our skit was called "Southern Fried Chicken" which is the name of a fast food place here. The customers came in asking for eternal life. I, as the cashier, asked them how they were going to pay for it. Their answers were good works, smarts, muscles, and money. These were all rejected. Finally someone said they couldn't pay because Jesus had already paid for it. The kids were able to understand it!  

When chapel was over, their SOS, (Superintendent of School) came forward for a presentation. They were so thankful for us being able to be there with them. After many more words of thanks and tears, they presented us with handmade Kente (kent ay) cloth. They are beautiful. 

Instead of having primary and nursery chapels separate, we had them together. Wow! There were not enough seats for all of the kids! The church was so full, It was so awesome to see. 

We had to skip out on our breakfast at breakfast time because we were late for our kindergarten craft time. We got to color the Jesus pictures with them and take lots of pictures. It was difficult today to keep up the energy with them. But they were excited to have us there with them. 

During their break time, we were able to hang out with them. We sat around and talked with them. I showed them pictures of my family. They were very curious about them, my home, America, and the seasons. It was fun to be able to share a part of home with them. 

For lunch: fresh fish! Yes, we did get an entire fried tilapia and we ate it with our fingers. By far, the best fish I've ever eaten! We also had banku, which is a very popular Ghanian dish that is often eaten with soup. It tastes sour, almost like sourdough bread dough. It tastes okay. 

After lunch, we made the Christian fish with the fifth graders. They really enjoyed the fish and were able to Tell us about the meanings of each part. They were glad we came to their classroom on the last day. 

When we got back to the guest house, Jordan, Alicia and I walked back to our favorite store Global Mama's to get some last final things. 

Please pray for Malinda and Alicia. They have been very ill this evening. It makes my heart sad to see my two roommates sick.
