The Last Two Days

As you heard yesterday, we went to Bogoso. Upon arriving at the TroTro station for our upcoming 1.5 hour ride we bought tickets. It costs 2 cedis for the ride, about $1.40 USD. Just as we identified the rusty, beat-up TroTro that was our transportation, the sliding door fell off the van. When one of the brothers turned around and said “that’s your ride” we couldn’t help but all look at each other and laugh! It turned out that we got there in one piece, no need to worry. We visited 4 deaf bible students, all eager to see us and learn something new about the bible.

Today we stayed local and went to visit a few students here in town.  Upon finishing our day Deann and I caught a taxi back to the other side of town to run an errand (a minimum of 4 passengers and the driver is the norm here) so we took the opportunity to talk to the other passengers. One of the women asked if we were working here and we explained that we were Jehovah’s Witnesses and that we were here to teach the deaf about the Bible. She replied with “Thank you, may God bless you” We gave her some literature to read and she mentioned that she is currently studying the bible with Jehovah’s Witnesses. She is excited about what she’s been learning. When she got out of the taxi she said “May God keep you healthy so you may continue your work.” It was an upbuilding experience to end our day.

This is how we drink our water and this is an African kitchen.

And while you can buy food and other things anywhere along the roadside this is the main market, we went there yesterday (we got your natural shea butter, mom).
