Day three, no water

Day three, no water. When I arrived at Charles’ house, his oldest son informed me that Charles was sick and had gone to the hospital. I waited at the house with his sons until he returned home. While he was gone the boys wanted to play a game on the computer that I had brought Charles. I showed them Mine Sweeper.
When Charles got home he informed me that Rebecca, his wife, would be taking me into town because the doctor instructed him to stay home and rest. I am not sure what is wrong with Charles but everyone says that he will be fine. He had some blood work done. That doesn’t sound like a common sickness problem to me.
Rebecca and I went into Accra, went to the bank and bought a cell phone. #24222325, country code 233. we also bought shoes for church~$8, sunglasses “rayban”~$2.50, and a video tape. We then traveled back to Amonfru and stopped at the market to buy all the food that we would be donating to the orphanage Sunday afternoon. We had a total of ¢1.2 million to spend at the store and we had a set list of things to buy. Prices had gone up since the last time so that what we needed would be more than the amount we had allocated. We told the store that we were donating it to the orphanage and they kindly agreed to give us all of the food for ¢1.2 even though it should have been more.
We then returned home and relaxed a bit before dinner. After dinner Charles had one of his volley ball students accompany me to the hotel because the drugs that he had been taking made him drowsy. The guys name was Ben and he was 22, studying computer science.
