2nd Sunday and 1st wedding

It is hard to believe how fast this time is going. I’ve been here over a week and I’ve been through two Sunday services where I was privileged to speak. This morning was a gloomy morning with heavy humidity in the air. I was hoping for enough rain to break the humidity. I hope for that every day I guess. That is one thing that always takes some time to get used to. The heat and humidity are always there. Well, the rain didn’t come, but it did get sunny again after church and it was another nice day. Here’s a picture before church and you can see a couple of ladies sweeping and getting things set up for the service. They are two of the ushers.

The service went well and I took a video of the choir singing a song. It is too long to upload, but I love their powerful voices. I can show this to you when I return home. I do have a few pictures of people you may know (if you’ve been here before). I was especially impressed with Blessing and how much she’s changed since the first time I came. She was 3 years old then. These people are all so special as I get to know them better with each trip.

I had a great surprise after church when the girls put the food out to eat. Right there on the table was an American pizza. Mother Wintee wanted to have this made for me and they did a great job. The pizza sauce and cheese fit in real well with the veg-all and hotdogs used. It was like a deep dish Chicago style pizza. I really enjoyed that. Of course it was served with potato greens over rice.

After our pizza dinner we headed out to a wedding where on the way I joined the zoom meeting back home to listen to Papa Mike as he lead the Discipleship Hour at Country Bible Church. I was able to listen all the way through the start of prayer time. It was great hearing them discussing Psalm 35. We were bouncing around in the truck so anyone else on zoom may have noticed us bouncing around. We lost the connection and we arrived shortly after at the wedding. I have a program for the wedding stating the start time to be 3:30. We arrived sometime after 4:00, took some time to get a picture with the groom, go inside the church and get seated up front on stage (Emmanuel’s connections) and we still waited for the wedding to start. This too is Liberia.

The wedding was on the campus of Liberia Baptist Theological Seminary. It was really pretty and high energy at times.

We stayed to eat and now we are headed home. It has been a long day. I also had some time to speak with Jenny while the wedding pictures were being taken. It was nice to speak with her. She got to see the wedding party and the campus she and Mike visited last year.

Tomorrow should be a rest day. I’m not sure when we’ll be heading to Yekepa, but we can decide that tomorrow. Tonight I’m looking forward to a cup of Ovaltine before bed. I’m getting used to that.

Thanks for following along on my trip.
