170512 In Zurich

We were in Zurich on the 12th of May, 2017. We left home 11:00am after having our breakfast to Liestal to board a train. We joined the train from Liestal to Zurich in Bahnhofplatz and at the station we met this old friend of our mum called Ronnie and his wife, Mallice. The man told us about 400,000 people board train there everyday and you could see the town is a busy one. This town is a business and banking center in Switzerland with many banks and tall buildings. We saw the statue of the who brought railways to the country and he was called Alfred Escher.

From the train station we joined a tram to the FIFA WORLD FOOTBAL MUSEUM. Wow, it was beautiful. Ronnie, Emmanuel an myself had a ticket to go through the museum and it was fun. Our mum and Auntie Mallice waited for us at a coffee shop.










From there we went to the lake at Burkliplatz, we took a boat to have fun on the lake and it was a nice experience. Before we went for the boat, Ronnie and his wife left home and we continued.





From there we went to ETH Zurich University at Ramistrasse 101 to do some inquiries but the desk was closed because we got there late at 17:30 and they close at 17:00. We came home from there.






 

170511 Preparing Local Dish and Gospel Workshop

The 11th of May, 2017, after Emmanuel and I had breakfast without Auntie Ruth because she was going to teach, we prepared a delicious chicken light soup and neat fufu. In some few minutes before the fufu was ready, Auntie Ruth came back from school and in about 15 minutes after Auntie Theres and Uncle werner also arrived.



The table was set and we made justice to the fufu. That was the first Auntie Theres and Uncle Werner ate fufu and they were happy to have such a meal. The loved the food they ate, we chat a while and they left home. They were lovely people. After we cleaned the kitchen, we started packing our things because our time was getting closer. Big Bro Raymond also came for his fufu, took it home and he really liked it.




At about 19:00 we left for the gospel workshop in Reinach and I didnt believe it, doing something I have never done before in my life. Leading a song with a choir, I was surprised but the Lord had His way. I thank God for that. I enjoyed singing with this group and I was very happy to be part of them.

170510 Shopping in Germany

On Wednesday the 10th of May, 2017, after breakfast we made a journey to Germany for shopping. On our way before leaving Arisdorf, Switzerland, we visited Mr. Raymond Petitjean to have a tea in his house. He really has a cute and a beautiful home and a nice garden. In this garden is an automatic controlled mower which works by itself. After which he gave us some stuffs as a gift which really interested us most. He is such a gentle and kind young man. We left there and continued our journey.


We went to Bad Sackingen in Germany for the shopping. When we got there, we had something to eat there and from the restaurant we went to see the bridge that connects and carry people from Switzerland to Germany and back. I think Switzerland is well organized because the road demarcation and the indications on the road are not seen in Germany. 



We went to the chapel to see how the inside was and to pray. It was beautiful with what we saw. From there we went to the shop to buy some presents to bring to Ghana. We saw so many things that we didn't know what to buy from the many but fortunately for us, we were able to buy something. GOTT SEI DANK!!!. We came back home from there.
We prepared to leave for the gospel workshop day 2, which was more fun than  before. I felt God visited me today when i sang. Am always grateful to GOD for the strength he always gives to me. Everyone was happy to see us three (the TRIO). We came home after then.

170509 To the Quarry and Church Workshop

Today the 9th of May, 2017, after a good night sleep, we decided to do some cleaning in the house. The chimney cleaning specialist called Kaminfeger came to clean the black stuffs in the chimney. There was a woman who also mob and cleaned the house and we also clean the window glasses and did some plant cutting, these plants are not suppose to be where they are. We weeded some places that the mower can not get there after which we cut the grasses with the mower. We did that with our mum and it was fun. She was very happy we did that and it was our pleasure to also do that.




After lunch we went to Nuglar to visit Fritz Surer's quarry company, where the stones are broken into different sizes ready for construction. This rich, humble and gentle man who happens to be the boss of the company was in this new tractor that is used to hummer bigger rocks him self working very hard. I really love the way he works. He surprised us with a gift and i was over and over whelmed, i didn't know what to say, he is very kind and loves to share what he *has with the needy, he has such a big heart.  He stopped what he was doing and took us round and showed us what they do there, then we came home from there. On our way home, we passed by a shop to buy some few stuffs that will be needed at home.






After a meal we had at home, we left to a church called Mischeli in Reinach for a music workshop for a performance on Saturday. This workshop we had was beautiful. We had these great men, Michael the organist and his wife Carmenda and Floyd T. Myrie. Everyone was happy to see us and we all song very well. Auntie Ruth with her beautiful voice and Emmanuel and myself, we made a nice combination. We were happy to be part of them. You are all welcome if only you are around and can make it, thanks very much
