After a night at a guesthouse, we were driven the 2 hour trip to HBB, l'Hopital Baptiste Biblique, a ministry of ABWE (Association of Baptists for World Evangelism). This was the first place that we served together after we left our American practices in 2006 and it has been great to get reacquainted with some old friends and meet some of the new folks. For the first 2 weeks, we were able to stay at an unoccupied home; for the last 2 weeks, we have been at the guesthouse where we have stayed on earlier trips.
This is the sign that greets patients at the entry gate to the hospital complex.
The guesthouse has 6 rooms for visitors.
Each room has a small but adequate bathroom, comfortable bed, and a couple easy chairs. Most importantly, there are ceiling fans, a floor fan, and a wall AC unit which we use sparingly since electricity is expensive. Behind this building is another guesthouse which is set up to house groups that come for construction or electrical projects.
This is the main gathering room at the guesthouse. We have our meals here and our Sunday evening church service is held here. Food is served buffet style and is more than adequate.
Amavi and Yawa are 2 of the ladies who prepare our meals. They have taken good care of us and usually have a vegetarian option for us. Everyone's favorite is Friday dinner which is "pizza night"!
