After
a short visit to the USA to celebrate the Holidays with my family I am excited
to be back in Damongo, Ghana to begin my fourth year serving God’s children as
a Lay Mission-Helper.
There
have been many changes since I arrived back to the place I have called home for
the past three years. My adopted Ghanaian family was blessed with their third
child. Parents Paulina and Francis are both teachers at St. Anne’s Girls’
Senior High School (SAGISS) where I live. I am so happy that the family
recently moved into the bungalow next door. What a joy it is to have my
Ghanaian family so close and to be able to hold a baby any time I wish.
Since
my return I have taken on different responsibilities. I am now the Bursar at
SAGISS. As Bursar I act as the accountant at the school, and I oversee food
supplies. I will, however, continue to work for the Catholic Diocese of
Damongo. Using my knowledge as an auditor, I will travel to many of the
thirteen parishes to ensure finances are accounted for properly. This is an
exciting assignment for I will experience the lifestyles of different tribes
and villages throughout the Diocese.What
a joy it is to know I will be helping the Diocese of Damongo in different ways
my fourth year in mission, giving me the ability to learn more about the
beautiful people this Diocese serves. I am truly Blessed!
