Day Two Comes Too Quickly from Todd

I am still reeling from yesterday's events and we are already sitting at breakfast awaiting the van for day two. Today we will continue the vision clinic we started yesterday at Bedaase. Most people agree that we will see many more people at the clinic day. We saw 60ish yesterday so that means we will be staying busy during the day. But back to yesterday. Underlying the society in Ghana is a formality that transcends socio-economics. Even in one of the poorest villages we were offered refreshments and even a meal (which we of course respectfully declined!). In addition to the hospitality, the formality includes how the elders of the village are held in respect as well as guests to the village. It reminded me that the currency of hospitality is not money but humility and compassion. The people of Ghana have reminded me of a great lesson for sure. Please keep praying. And let me say it again. Please keep praying. Todd
