= Sunday, we understood most of the content of the talks. Two items: Have faith that your Heavenly Father is speaking to you. Come to Christ, and we will never be hungry when we go to our homes. My takeaways from the Sunday School lesson: Do your best. Don't get into debt. Home, I realized that I need to help the Office Elders handle my tasks in a way that they're comfortable with; I won't be here.
= Monday, I produced and presented two Google form-response pairs: one for apartment issues and one to capture missionary actions at transfer time. I selected used size 44 {10} shoes for a missionary who departs in a month and sent a photo for his review. (His parents will help him buy new ones instead.)
= Home, we had bread for supper and watched Don't Miss This (scripture discussion) in bed. I followed that with Quizlet and journal and then fell into science and history posts until 0330.
= Tuesday, Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) had a planned twelve-hour outage. Comfort was not an issue - opened windows are usually enough - but power for computing was. Before 1, I went to the office, which had a generator running, to work there. At the urging of the Facility Manager, I modified my apartment issues form to let missionaries submitting issues to also close their issues.
= Wednesday, Kojo Dadson picked up our truck for repairs. We had Jack Mackerel for lunch. President Tachie-Menson put President David Oryang, now leading the Nigeria Calabar Mission, on the phone with Steph. He had been the Branch President in Tuskegee when Steph joined the church; I had seen him once: at the dedication of the Alabama Birmingham Temple 25 years ago. He asked us each about our future willingness to serve another mission in Africa. We are; we just have to see our situation when we get home.
= The truck came back in nice shape. I worked mission issues. I tithed and paid the power bill for our house back in the States. We had ice cream with warmed bacon bits for supper!
= Thursday, we worked at the office. I printed, trimmed, and laminated bicycle labels. We brought an individual to the Cape Coast Stadium Clinic at noon only to learn that power was off but would return at 3. In the interim, I applied the new labels to the bikes at the mission compound.
= At 3, we drove a male nurse and our patient from Cape Coast Stadium Clinic to Cape Medical Services for a test. At 5, that was done and we dropped off the nurse and then our patient. Home, we reviewed scriptures.
= Friday, I was at the office until 3 and drafted a talk to give at Zone conference next week while Steph worked in the apartment on medical issues. Home, We ate KFC while watching Star Trek - Next Generation until about 0100. We relaxed.
= Saturday, I posted the apartment issues found by the Campbells. I added a days elapsed column to the response sheet. I reached out to get Assistant to the President to send the GCCM recipe cookbook (tweaked by me), the Twi manual, and the apartment issues link to missionaries; they said that was in the Office Elders' realm. I had hoped to be able to refer to the links in the talk but left them out to avoid blindsiding anyone.

[At least he comes with a warning label. :) ]
[I've looked at this phrase before; perhaps the good news is *simple*.]
And on the left
All because the traffic bumps have been reinforced enough that most drivers don't want to do a bone-rattling fast pass over them, and the rest see this as an opportunity to get out from behind an underpowered truck before it reaches an uphill climb.
