Day 6

Last night after supper we went up to the lab and re-imaged a computer and then went to the house early. I watched some of a movie with the kids. It was cool to see a Ghanaian movie. Then I went to bed at 9.

This morning I woke up at 6:30. I was so happy, and well rested. I got up and went with daddy to the lab because he forgot his power cord for his laptop. He worked a little bit and then he left with some other people to go to Accra. Daddy taught a seminar on the impact of technology in the church. (See post below)

I then went to breakfast. It was pancakes, they were so.....good. After breakfast I went up to the computer lab. Some one wanted to use a computer but the Internet didn't work. None of the computers got Internet, my laptop worked though. I let him use it and tried to figure out why it wasn't working. Darrell came in and worked some on the kids games. I looked at some of the ones we brought, to see if they would be good. I then went to the houses to gather up clothes to do laundry. A lady was already doing laundry, and said she would do mine. It was so nice of her.

We had been planing on going to the beach today. I found out that it would be at 11, 5 minutes from when I found out. I went up to the lab to get Darrell because he said he wanted to go. When I got there he said he had fixed the network, the computers were connected to the Internet.

A bunch of people from the big church here had come to visit, play with the kids and cut the grass. There were lots of people. The kids brought out a bunch of chairs and set them in the grassy, open space. When Darrell and I walked to the guest house to meet with everyone, we saw that no one was there. Everyone was talking with the Ghanaians. We talked with them till lunch.

We had red red and fried plantains for lunch. After lunch I went up to the lab to put a new CD drive in a computer. It didn't work though. That was frustrating, especially because I had tested it at home and it worked. I locked the lab and went back down to the guest house to find people because there was going to be a dedication of a new house today. I was only a few minutes after the "scheduled" time but I couldn't find anyone, at the guest house or at the new house. So I walked up to the lab, and found people walking there too.

The new plan for going to the beach was 2:30, 30min from finding out. We went in to the computer lab, a couple of ladies wanted to check their e-mail. We then walked down to the guest house to meet everyone. I road in the back of the truck with a munch of other people, it was fun.

I didn't bring my swim suit this year, but I wore shorts this time. It was a lot of fun. I got all wet and I road some waves. You didn't have to go very far to get to big waves. The undertow is very strong. I didn't see any crabs this time. We got back at 4:30. I rinsed off and changed clothes and went to supper. It was a yellow chicken curry.

After supper Daddy and I went to our houses to be at the devos they had. It was short and sweet. I went outside to wait for daddy since he had the lab key. I talked with a girl named Victoria. She is so sweet. I we walked around and talked. We got to watch some kids practice a skit for tomorrow. We walked around for a long time. At 7 I went up to the lab to write my blog. We are going to go to bed early tonight.

I'll put pictures on tomorrow, so check back later. I left my camera at the house.
