It doesn't look like we will be going to Sierra Leone and Liberia in December, as we had hoped.  We cannot get a visa to Sierra Leone until we have our permanent resident visa for Ghana.  We could go to Liberia but decided to wait so that the travel department can get started on our Ghana visas.  They can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.  So we are pretty much grounded to Ghana until then.

There is lots to do here though.  Next week we will take a 3 day tour of the projects in Ghana.  We will go with Bro. Buah, our superior, and the site monitor, who knows where to go.  We will be gone two nights.  I'm sure it will prove to be very interesting.

Today we sent in a cheque requisition for a project LDS Charities is involved with on an on-going basis.  This will be the second time.   It is a project where surgeons will perform corrective  plastic surgeries on people with severe deformities.  So on Dec. 5th - 15 they will do 26 surgeries.  Our part is to pay for the food for the Doctors and staff and for the patients for the 10 days.   We will take a day trip one of the days and visit the hospital and some patients.    We have seen some pictures and it wants to make cry for these poor people.  I'm so glad we can be part of helping them  have a better life. 

That's our report for today!  Greetings to all our friends and loved ones!
