The Accra Ghana Temple

This morning I had the privilege to go to the Accra Ghana Temple.  It is a small temple that only runs one session at a time.  There is no clothing rental, so before I left the States I bought a set of temple clothes and bag to use.  On Sunday, I spoke with the Relief Society President and told her that I had a set that I wanted to leave for their sisters to use.  The president and two additional sisters started jumping up and down, dancing and expressing great joy!  I did not know that it would be so gratefully accepted. 

On the taxi drive to the temple, we drove past the beach.  The water was pretty brown and there were piles of trash everywhere, but it was it's own kind of pretty.

The temple was wonderful!  It is a beautiful temple (as if there is any other kind).  There were many who had traveled from Ivory Coast for the session.  Since they speak French and there were more of them than English speakers, the session was in French and I wore headphones.  One thing that was a bit different that I am used to, the ordinance workers were very liberal with bathroom breaks during the session.  No fewer than 5 brothers took a trip to the loo.  But I was grateful to have the calm spirit of the temple as I waited in silence.

Since Zak has to go back to the port tomorrow, perhaps I will go for a couple sessions in the morning.
