Back in Monrovia

Our day started in Saclepea and ends in Monrovia. We woke up to a morning we knew would be the start of a busy day. As we got up at Emmanuel’s uncle, Pastor Dennis Monmia’s home, we had a quick breakfast and got packed up and ready to go, but before we would leave Saclepea we would stop by the Women of Purpose offices and meet with some of the officers and have a time of prayer with them. On our way there we stopped along the road for one of Dennis’s members who has a school.

There are always kids around and where there are kids there’s a need for schools. We didn’t have time to spend with the kids and that was difficult to not go in and see them. They sang us a song and then Jenny prayed for them before we headed over to the Women of Purpose building. We had another short time with them before we headed out. They are doing so well that the different chapters keep on growing. This is a ministry that covets your prayers as they teach woman skills that they can use to help sustain themselves and they teach these with a Biblical training along with the skills. Here’s a picture of the ladies leading the ministry.

We then headed back towards Ganta which would have the better roads. The ride to Ganta was very reminiscent of 2012 trip, but without the mud. There were the same type of bumps and swerving around to miss them.

We stopped for lunch in Ganta and it was nice after the rough road. Then we headed back towards Monrovia with full stomachs and a blacktop road. A couple short stops on the way and then we made it back to Emmanuel’s house in time to rinse off a little in the shower before the thanksgiving service.

The service tonight was so special and we feel as we should be the ones thanking them. Here’s a picture of the gifts they gave us. It was a great time.

They are all busy around here with Abraham’s wedding on Saturday. We wish we could stay for that, but no such luck. Time to say our final goodbyes tomorrow.
