Day Eighteen

Sunday we went to church at a big church on Accra. It is the biggest church of Christ outside of America. Church was great. One of the professors from ACU preached. We wanted to eat lunch with Samuel and the professor but they were staying for second service. While they were at church we went by the airport. The lady let us go back and look at the bags. While we were looking through the bags a worker came up to try and help us. He showed us new bags that had come in. It was very nice of him and it defiantly beats BA attitude toward my bag but it felt like he was rushing us through the bags. I would have rather looked through the bags myself and looked through old bags too. We only spent 15 minutes total in the whole airport. We drove back to the church and walked around by shops. After a while it got too hot so we walked back to the church. First service was in English but second service was in Twi, the native language.

When we got back from walking around we sat in one of the children's classes. It was very impressive. There were about 50 kids and one teacher. The class was a little over 2 hours and stayed well behaved the whole time. The kids were 3-5 years old. The class was also outside under a covering. The class we sat in shared the covering with two other classes of older kids. The kids do a lot of singing and there were times when the different classes would be singing different songs at the same time. The kids were still able to pay attention and not get confused. After church we ate lunch at a restaurant called Champs. It was inside a hotel and felt very American.

After lunch we went to the school and worked on the computers. We stayed at the school to have supper. After supper we went back to our house to get our stuff because we were moving to Samuel's house. Two of the professors that were staying there had left so there was space for us. When we got our stuff organized and put away we sat around and talked for a while and then went to bed.
