i'm so glad gifty is back home! she traveled to see her family last week and i was all by myself :). well me and tiger (that's our dog...who's not too smart......bless his heart...i'm southern i can say that!)

monday gifty found out she is typhoid free! hallelujah!!! and the really cool part is that the doctors were amazed because there was no trace of typhoid at all! she just told them, "well the whole world was praying," so the doctor agreed it was a miracle!

monday night i took gifty out to dinner to celebrate. we had chicken and rice :) the usual around here it was a nice treat since our lights were out. we didn't know if our generator would work because...(kirk and nicole if you're reading this don't freak out because we got it fixed :) when i cranked it the other day it fell off the blocks it was sitting on. sure happened to me. oh well. i called our electrician and now they're pouring a slab and bolting that thing to the ground. ... no more slipping now! haha.

tuesday morning i was invited by the jacksons to the inagural meeting of the Maringa Tree Organization at our Methodist Headquarters. It was interesting this tree packs more nutrients than one could imagine. so the MCG, methodist church ghana, is promoting it because it will help nutrition hopefully, especially in rural areas. tuesday night we had the bible club leaders over and it was fun. lots of laughing and joking some good fellowship last night. but here's what's been going on at my house today...

Batik and Tye and Dye. that's what gifty was trained in as a profession. so felix and leford, two of the bible club leaders, came over today to help out. they have been working non stop and have come up with some pretty creative designs. if you want to purchase some of gifty's stuff...give me a shout! check out flickr for pics!
