This mural welcomed us at the airport. It was a preview to even nicer scenery. That's a computer bag, a scripture bag and a carry-on bag. I was pretty loaded down. (Elder K.)
They have lots of stoplights, and they even work! They have electricity, too. Ghana is way more progressive than Nigeria in that respect. The tree is full of fruit bats. They had thousands of these bats on trees that were quite near to the airport.
More fruit bats. They keep the insect population under control. They have mosquitoes here and also have problems with malaria. It seemed more humid that Nigeria. My hair didn't want to stay curled. (Sister K.)
This is a nice-looking monument. We weren't sure what it was for, but it was lovely. The impressive thing to us was the cleanliness of the city and orderliness of the traffic. There were lines on the roads and drivers stayed within those lines. What a concept! We loved the week in Ghana.
The former British government High Court building. This was really an entire complex of buildings built in the style of British Arrogance. It is on a street called Independence Avenue. When the British were in power, Ghanaians (blacks), were not allowed on the street or in the buildings and homes on the street unless they were employed in one of the buildings or homes. They were to be as "unseen" as possible on this "British" street. Our relatives in England were so filled up with themselves! We happen to love these good people and feel privileged to work alongside them during this mission.
