As I I have posted before, John is my friend in Ghana who works to help people in need there. I don’t want to post too much here about one subject but I thought people might be interested in seeing what John actually goes through, what he writes, and what happens.
Please forgive his spelling. John has only gone to some missionary school for a few years when he was very young and most of his spelling he taught himself.
I have copied this out of the chat (I have left out my responses). This all happened when John was still recovering from his surgery. So everything below is him talking. (The money is in Ghana cedis, not dollars; the exchange rate varies but is about ten cedis to one dollar.)
Also John’s user name is nas.

At least at this point Zenabu seems to be doing fine. I am not sure what the specific health problem was but for now she is okay.
