The missionary #4

by

Wow!!!!!

Today I went on a trip with some nurses … we walked to and into a foreign country!!!

Togo is only three miles away to the east. A well trodden path as we took turns pulling the little trolley. Down a hill and up and …

“Bonjour, Pere. Beinvenue a Togo!”

Being Canadian I had no problem with the language!

This is a visit to exchange British goods for French and vice versa. Oh, yes, and medicines too.

Heinz baked beans seem a favourite today, in exchange for Croissants, breadsticks and cheeses.

I shall make this a regular trip!

    This is, of course all as he told it to me … and true as far as I know. He showed me photos of the village, the hospital, the church and the group from Togo. He will be back to Cambridge in this narrative and have an offer to make … read on to find out what.
