Sorry about not e-mailing... I am being lazy like Brenen said he was ha ha.... Today is p-day.... I gave myself a perm...with Brother Sidwell assisting.... Trying to get a few things done towards leaving this place...We are still staying busy...we got up at 3:00 on Saturday and took people to the Temple... Valentina got her endowment.... we had to be there by 7:00 to get her recommend okay'd by the mission President..and all her clothes and other things done so she could go through at l0:30 session.... Dad and President Reck went to two sessions, I stayed with Valentina and we went to the one...Then we came home.... and the Area Office couple from the Genealogy department came up and we went to dinner at Chances Hotel with them.... Then took them to Sacrament meeting and church the next morning...then one of the boys came to practice the keyboard on Sunday and while the boy and a friend he had brought with him were still here, the girl that we had baptized when we first came here, came to the door to visit and stayed until 5:00 and we took her to a friends...She has been living in another village l and half hours away and so we hadn't seen her since her little boy died and she went to live with her mother.... Anyway, it is always something... dad has been working on his fiance journal and has run a lot of errands for President and some for me... I have been washing Temple clothes and etc...One of the branch Young Women stopped by to visit us... she is l5 and was telling us about going away to boarding school in two months.... that is what they do here for their senior school years... three to four years..... it is sad to me that they do it this way because then you are not around your family and both the family and the student misses out on their lives...it is so strange and makes me happy that we don't send our children away that early in their lives.... It is good that they get an education though...I can't see a change for the people here for another 50 years ha ha.... did you know that the President of the US is coming to Ghana on the 10th and 11th... He and the new President of Ghana are good friends.... wow...small world...The people here just love Obama and think he will do something for them...Well hang in there all of you, we will be home soon to bother you...Love mom
