Sunday afternoon David, Phyllis, Belinda and Faith took a 3 hour drive north to Teyi for the dedication of Charlie and Davids water well. The village was very remote, a beautiful setting! The water well is on a hilltop overlooking lake Volta, the largest lake in Ghana. Everyone dressed in their best tribal clothing and we had many speeches and dancing. The water well was named "Jesus Fresh Water" well. The water is crystal clear and we all enjoyed a drink. The children were beautiful and had a great time playing in the water. A local women spoke and stated that the villAge was founded 101 years ago and this is the first time they hAd ever had fresh water. We were honored and not to be outdone by the youth, we were give a goat, cassava, sweet potatoes and fish. Fergie also road home on the SUV, but we didn't see her after we got home. Please pray for Teyi, they have clean water, but their lives are very hard. Thank u for all ur prayers ,
Phyllis
Great story! I bet the water well dedication was really neat. As for the goat riding on top, given the choice, Fergie would've ridden shotgun and the fish would've gone topside. But that's just me.
