CELEBRATION!!!

 Celebrations sure are carried out with great enthusiasm and energy. 

Bishop Kyem  celebrated his first mass as bishop yesterday. Lot of singing and dancing and gifting to the bishop. Left house at 9am  

Wiawso is built on and around a big hill. So its up and down and  around it, to get to church. On the way, this is the mist, not burned off yet over the town, 

So back to the Mass yesterday. 

Here is the bishop and the Precentor.

Gifting, all the cello packages around the altar are gifts of food stuffs for the Bishop and 

there was an appeal for funds for him as well.

 Bishop blessing those who bring the gifts.

Conclusion:

The festivities lasted until almost 3pm, Yep, very long to be sitting..

TODAY IS A COUNTRY HOLIDAY Constitution Day

 Today is a holiday that honours the Constitution of the country.

AND 

I received fabric designed by Daniel in Sunyani that I am going to make new bedroom curtains. Parcel sent on the bus and money sent by e transfer\  It is somewhat like magic that way the world works in this day and age.

Remember "defrosting the fridge"

 I just spent an hour scraping and pushing ice into a basin.  It is part of life here.  It brings back times years ago with a fridge in a rented apt which made me to make sure when I bought a fridge, this task would be part of my past and it has been.

HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022 !!!!

 Well another year with Covid under our belt. Whether that is good or bad is up to you. For me it was long staying in so much, but it was good in that I got to travel. 

So NY Eve the cathedral was full, from babes in arms to the seniors who sat when needed. It felt like a huge family gathering, time for anyone to come up and sing, time to dance, 

LOTS OF DANCING

time for prayer and meditation, time for wishes and advice for the new year, around 11pm a  time when 3 policemen came and were welcomed in. Why you ask were they there? I asked the same question: was this a normal thing, Precentor says no. That is the hospitality here, they will welcome anyone who comes to the door with no questions asked. one policeman got up to make two points speech on safety. first not leaving your belonging alone when up dancing as thieves come in on a night such as this and take your money and phones before you even know they are gone  and the second point was to go hone in groups so as to not be attacked.  The bishop then gave them a blessing and off they went, waving while the congregation cheered. I will admit it was a first for me/

and then a time to just wait, wait for the clock to tick down to 12 

and then a time to celebrate the Eucharist in the New Year 2022.

I wish everyone a healthy and blessed 2022!
