Surprise visitor
We wakened today again to a clear blue sky and a wonderful sight over the Lake
Just as we were getting organised - and as usual I was last in the shower - James popped his head round the corner and said the Local Minister is here to see us and to dedicate the new Clinic
You can imagine the splutter as I tried to make myself presentable and join the others
Rev B Archibold chatted to us and then in a short, yet meaningful act of worship dedicated the Clinic to the Glory of God and for the benefit of all the people of this beautiful area
Mr Archibold went on to say that the Clinic could now be used by the staff here and that an application would be submitted to have its status upgraded to that of a hospital - that was a great start to the day




Our Church Service lasted almost two hours and that was nothing to do with the length of time James preached!. There was so much happeneing and as it was a Harvest Service some of the items of produce were auctioned at the end
We got such a welcome and did our best to sing our own words to the Twe version being used by the congregation
Planned visits to the Chiefs in Atafram and Amakom took place later and agin the work of the 2008 Team was acknowledged
In Amakom the main topic of conversation was Denis Bambrick whom they would like to see back again
With the act of dedication and the Doctor starting tomorrow we really feel as though things are now moving
The Clinic Administrator has not - despite strenuous efforts - been able to arrange a meeting with the Bishop because of his heavy workload right now and we'll have to wait to see how that works out over the next two days
It was great to hear of the success of the Church Picnic and to know you enjoyed weather similiar to ours
Regards for now
