Through the purchases made by recent Gala attendees we were able to go on a few outings with the girls over the
last few weeks. To celebrate the New Year we took a trip to the main branch of
our church in Accra and got to worship with them. The church service there is
always such a joyful and celebratory environment. Then, it wouldn’t be a Sunday in
Accra if we did not go eat at our favorite restaurant, Papaye. Although the
place was packed we managed to squeeze all 24 of us into some tables and
enjoyed a delicious meal. After a big meal we decided to go and walk around in
Marina Mall. This is when I got to experience the joy of watching the Pearls
ride on an escalator and an elevator for the first time. We had a great time
walking through the stores and finished everything off with some soft serve ice
cream!
For our other fun outing we went to a nearby movie theater
and got to watch a showing of the newly released Annie. The girls were able to
connect with the story, they loved the music and we all had a great time. The
movie was followed by a trip to the new mall where we again enjoyed a meal and
the joy of escalators and elevators. We took time to walk through a few of
the stores to teach girls about different foods and appliances. It is also
important that they start learning how much things cost.
We laughed a lot and made memories together. So thankful for the joy of the Christmas season.
