On the road to Akyempin
Saturday service...nine of us from the ASL group decided to go to Akyempin. They have found 10 deaf ones there before and witnessed to them, but have heard there may be about five more. Akyempin is a two hour bus or trotro ride on this road deep into the bush of Ghana (not to mention the hour or so you spend at the station waiting for the bus to fill up so they can leave). After arrival you have to clean up a bit from the dirt road and begin walking the village. We spent about 2-3 hours in the village and ended up making only three return visits/bible studies. Apparently there was a funeral nearby, and the rest were "not-at-home". You have to watch your time out there as the rides back to Tarkwa become fewer as the day draws to a close. So at 3:30 the bus pulled out and we were on it for the two hour ride home, giving the other passengers magazines to read. A long way for not-at-homes, yes? But so worth the three we found! Those experiences you'll have to wait to hear about when we get home...
