We went shopping again! This time we went to the Art Center, Ghana's market for their home made crafts. The Center is in a big park area, not a green grassy park, a dry dusty park. The vendors sell their crafts from stores that are not much more than some wood and cloth shacks. It is hard to explain and go figure, I never took my camera out of my pocket. I was so busy buying and bartering for items that I forgot all about taking pictures. Fortunately, Jim took some. We both have money left and will probably visit the Art Center again with the other team. Our plans are from day to day, as so many items on our itinerary have been canceled for one reason or another. We will explain more about that too when we get home.
Our baby girl finally drank formula from a sippy cup. We were about ready to give up on her in that area. Maybe now, she will start to put some meat on her skinny little bones. Yesterday, we spent considerable time teaching her to say da-da. She was doing that all day today. Tonight we showed her how to clap. The orphanage has a way of clapping to show approval and that is what we were showing her. Jim would clap and then I would help her clap. It didn't take long before she was attempting and even managing to do some clapping on her own. We will work on that again tomorrow after church and lunch and naps. Baby Boy had a little harder time today...not sure why. He continues to be a good eater. We found out that there is one thing he doesn't like--cheese.
Tomorrow we will go to church and out to lunch. That should be a nice change of pace for Brian and Debbie.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
"There is something seriously wrong if our lives make sense to unbelievers" by Francis Chan in Crazy Love. Just something that Brian shared with us this morning during our devotional.
