A couple of times during the trip we have looked at each other in wonder and asked "where is God in this?". It seems that once we dropped Heather off at the airport, things started to unravel. Last night we had trouble finding a hotel, it was after midnight when we finally got settled. So this morning we slept in and had a nice breakfast. We visited the Cathedral in Accra and then started back for Ho. We have had a number of late nights, so we decided we wanted to get back by 5pm. 30 kilometres from Ho the car broke down. There are so many pot holes here that the cars are just rattled to pieces. So there we sat on the side of the road waiting for the mechanic to come. Two questions were on our minds; "where is God in this?" and "Which one of us is Jonah?". A few minutes later a truck pulled up with a couple of young men. They loaded up our luggage and started driving us to Ho. 8 kms from Ho the gear shift in the truck stopped working and we were once more on the side of the road wondering "Where is God in this?". One of the young men then went off into the village and found a mechanic who quickly fixed the truck. We made it into Ho by 6pm. We checked all the hotels, but there is a conference here this week and everything was booked (there is no such thing as reservations in Ghana). So we are at Bishop Matthias' place for the night and have enjoyed a lovely meal complete with Star beer from Ghana and fresh pineapple. Where is God? Everywhere...
