Meeting Ghanaians

Today we had the opportunity to go down to the book fair and meet some visitors! We decided to dress up in our uniforms haha. Some people think Stephen’s the Captain 😉

Stephen met this really sweet family and gave them a tour of the ship. They were so well behaved and friendly. They invited us to visit their church one of these Sundays.

I painted the younger daughter’s face with a butterfly.

Stephen met twin brothers! They are 12 years-old and their favorite sport is basketball. One of them said he liked Stephen’s hair (which I cut for the first time a few days ago!) 🙂 Stephen asked them “what is the thing that binds us all together?” and they said…”God”! He encouraged them to be nice to their younger brother and include him in activities.

I met Michael, who is a port volunteer and helping out in the iCafe – which is a place where people buy drinks and ice cream. On the right is his younger sister Kate. She works for a university 5 hours away and only has 1 day off a month! She used it to come visit Logos Hope.

I was able to take Kate around the ship for a tour and explain the heart of our ministry. It also gave me an opportunity to hear more about her life and talk about the gospel.

They stayed for dinner and here we are before saying our goodbyes. Hope to get to know Michael more in the coming weeks.

  1. Stephen does look like the captain, haha. Must be the haircut. 😉 Has he been mistaken for Jeremy Lin yet? Btw, great face painting – did you ever do it for the MoCo Fair? You missed your calling for kids’ bday parties.. who painted yours? So we know you can do haircuts, face painting, and let’s not start on the kitchen talents.
