The LMH community in Damongo, Ghana officially became three (3) with the arrival of Mark McGraw.
Like every new arrival to the mission field, Mark was
eager to immediately work in the Diocese of Damongo. But as most of the veteran LMHers know,
Africa, most specially Ghana moves in a much slower pace than we are accustomed
to.
With the scheduled visit of the Bishop of Muenster,
Germany, the focus of the Diocese was centered on this event since the Diocese
of Muenster is a major partner in projects of the Catholic Diocese of
Damongo. Mark will just have to wait a
little longer to find out his assignment.
This turned out to be a blessing for us. About 2 days from his arrival, our water pump
burst, and he was there to fix. Since then, Mark has installed shelves in the
kitchen, his bedroom and my bedroom. He has been busy writing his journal,
something he might not find a lot of time to do when the work begins. For now, Mark is settling in nicely, going
for walks to the town center and just enjoying the hospitality of the Ghanaian
people.
We are all excited for the contribution Mark will
being to the Catholic Diocese of Damongo and the people of Damongo. Welcome Mark, to your new home!
