Quote of the day: “God grant me the courage to accept the things I cannot change, the strength to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference” –
Serenity Prayer

Today was rather uneventful, but nonetheless not a bad one. Katie and I laughed about how we have perfected our morning routine – first I wake up at 6:30, get ready in the bathroom, and then at 6:45 Katie wakes up and we’re ready by 7:00!
At school Harriet informed us the kids had a promotion test next week and we would be reviewing. However, we only “reviewed” for about an hour and then had a two and a half hour recess. Angie and Lisa helped grade and pass out tests at their school and also learned more about the teachers’ lives and the limitations the school must cope with. Although Nancy’s school is testing she had a very interesting conversation with her fellow teachers about religion. Frank, in particular, was confused about Judaism and had trouble wrapping his mind around the differences between Judaism and Christianity.
After a great lunch of traditional Ghanaian food we headed to the library. I had the enjoyment of reading Beauty and the Beast to two children and had near forgotten how beautiful and entertaining a story it is. About half way through our time at the library it started raining extremely hard. The sound was deafening. However, it stopped pouring around 4:00 and we arrived home untouched by the rain, but not by the mud we tried to gingerly walked through on the way home.
We all decided to just hang out after our time at the library, reading, studying, and watching TV etc. We enjoyed our dinner and our conversation with Amo about our driver from Cape Coast. Afterwards Katie and Nancy played more bananagrams while the rest of us relaxed. Overall it was an uneventful day, but a great one.
