SOME RESTFUL TIME - VERY RELAXING
Some of the other couples had talked about Busua - in fact the Area Presidency had planned once to have the Mission Presidents' Seminar there - but it is about a 4 - 4 1/2 drive from Tema - too much travel - we didn't think we'd go either BUT a decision was made to fumigate the MTC - having lived through that a couple of times already, we knew we needed to be gone for a couple of days - local hotels were pretty expensive - in fact one night was the same as two down at Busua - so we took the long drive. The resort is right on the beach - the first picture is from our little cottage.
Here Sister Nielson is standing on our little veranda - staying our of the rain because it rained for most of our time there. The Hotel was very clean and pleasant - but the restaurant a little expensive and not particularly good (according to others who had eaten their - so we walked about a half a block over to the a little hotel and restaurant run by a couple - he came from Saskatchewn - she is Ghanaian - we did meet her, but her husband was back home taking care of the harvesting there.
Sister Nielson wanted everyone to know I was still alive and for only about the fourth day in 21 months, was not wearing a white shirt and a tie. Other than that there isn't much to react to in this picture except for the pleasant calming influence of the ocean. We had a very relaxing time.# posted by Ghana Gazette @ 7:55 AM
