Monday
I'll be happy to admit I give in to food cravings. Especially if it's an avocado. :) Buy them firm, soften a day or two until it just gives a little under your fingers & the rind turns from glossy green to a more dull greenish black. Sprinkled with salt, this little veggie is a buttery delight. Guacamole is on my list of things to make, but the avocados just don't last that long. Tuesday

Tuesday night we took the Bontrager/Sauder kids to Ghana University's botanical gardens. The small fee we pay to enter is well worth the open spaces to run, trees to climb & a playground. It was a great time. The best part? Ron & Audrey were able to have a date while we were gone. The worst part? What should have been a 35m drive home turned into 2 hrs & 45m in crawling traffic. Their romantic evening & our noisy one did not end the way we had hoped.
Wednesday
Chocolate peanut butter spread on fresh bread (not made by me!) was a tasty snack. The spread turned out to be a really nice alternative to Nutella, which is expensive here (isn't it everywhere;)?). It does feel good to make something with pantry ingredients, have it get thick & creamy & have many beggars for more. Maybe a recipe post should be coming up soon.
Friday
Not a bad start to a Friday. Bought eggs & bread at the gate before 8am & my 6 year-old is making breakfast for the children! Thanks, Max.
Saturday
Thanks to Carter Bontrager & Jonathan Groff having February birthdays, we were able to take the afternoon & evening off at Tesano Sports Club. It was a wonderful time of catching up & relaxing together. Audrey, Juanita & I even managed to escape for awhile in the deep end while the men had their feet in the kiddie pool. :)

This quiet street in a small town 6km from the highway is an important place to me. In December I was invited to help with a small clinic located in the building in the center of the picture. It has been a source of fulfillment for me. A kindness my Heavenly Father has given me. I did not deserve to pick up something I had laid down for His glory. I did not seek out a place to be a nurse in Ghana. But He led me to it & has blessed my time there.

There are many Muslims in this area & many needy believers. I go there with a prayer on my lips to spread the peace of Jesus with each interaction.
(I am being intentionally vague on details. There has been trouble with local health inspectors & I don't want to contribute. I hope show you more sometime. )
