Socializing

We were recently invited to a dinner held at a compound run by Baptist missionaries. A retired American couple from Indiana built a small group of buildings from which they minister to the local people and train visiting Baptist volunteers. The gathering was held in a large, round, screened gazebo in the center of the compound. Two of the visitors hailed from the French-speaking country of Burkina Faso, located about five hours north of Tamale, so I enjoyed a nice opportunity to use my French for the evening.
