So Spencer and Joey headed back out to Kwabeng this morning with Esther to administer their first loan! They had to register her restaurant as a business and then went to the bank to give her the money. They were under the impression that the bank would give her a contract to sign, but found out there that they would have to make one on their own. So they came home and made one up from the sample one from the bank and had Esther sign it before they gave her the loan. SO COOL! We're all thrilled and excited for her to get the restaurant going!
Spencer, Esther and Joey as they were signing the loan agreement and giving her the money. She's ALL smiles!
Having the guys head out to Kwabeng and having the schools still closed today left Emily and I with precious little to do, so we made a plan which we got Gloria in on. We headed to the market for flour, eggs and chocolate (which isn't really that good here, but we take what we can get) and then went to work. Elder and Sister Terry were kind enough to let us use their house for baking and we got to make cookies and surprise our wonderful husbands when they came back from their trip. It was so much fun!
Then tonight the guys had consultations at the church until 8:30 - so once again, Emily, Gloria and I set off to keep ourselves busy. Gloria has been wanting to watch a Ghanaian movie for the last couple days, but it's VCD, so it wouldn't play on the DVD player here. So when the boys left we pulled out the computer and had a great time watching a Ghanaian drama. It was called The Supremo. I'm not sure that I would recommend it to anyone, but it was cool to see and learn a little more about their culture and values.
This picture is actually from yesterday. Once again, Emily and I were trying to entertain ourselves and decided to try and see how well our hair would straighten here. We even put on some make-up! We had to take a picture as proof of at least the hair because it wasn't too long before the humidity made both of our hair curly again :)
