One of them is Johnsonville. This week, they posted a recipe that looked way too good to pass up. I will defi- nitely be making this next week. My family and I love almost any recipe made with sausage, es- pecially one this easy to make. This will make a great Sunday lunch or quick, weeknight dinner. Enjoy!

Teri and Shelby worked on the second attack. They helped with a medical clinic that saw more than 500 peo- ple in two days. Waltz said many of the 13 women on the trip were nurses. They setup a clin- ic in a tent. "It was like an Anchor tent, except much rougher," said Waltz. She said she is able to take blood pressure and was able to help with that, while Shel- by helped at the front end of the clinic, registering people coming to be seen. Teri said the nurses would check blood pressure and do a medical screening. Most of what they saw were upper re- spiratory problems and skin diseases, things like scabies and ring worm. High blood pressure was common, as was neck and back injuries. "The women carry every- thing on their heads," said Teri. Shelby said they saw women carrying the typical items like water vases and baskets on their heads. But she saw one woman carry- ing a full-size desk on her head. Teri said the nurses were able treat the minor ail- ments, but if they saw some- thing major, they referred the women to doctors. She said the nurses, af- ter examining the patients, would ask them if they could pray with them. "Out of 500 patients, only two refused being prayed with," said Waltz. "You could really see God's hand in it." She gave an example of an adult wom- an who hadn't been able to walk for more than five years. Waltz said the woman dragged herself into town on her bottom to the clinic. "We couldn't do anything for her at the clinic, but God could." However, there was a man, who Farhar knew, that came by and saw the woman. He said he knew a man who had a wheelchair. Waltz said the man with the wheel- chair lived five hours away, but the volunteer went and talked to him. Even though he had never met the wom- an, he gave the wheel- chair to the volunteer, who brought it back to the clin- ic and it changed the wom- an's life. Teri said because sever- al teams of volunteers pre- ceded her and Shelby, they had learned by mistake ma- ny of the pratfalls of travel and lodging in Ghana. Consequently, they had a good idea of the places to stay and eat. They said all of the food is purchased on the street in a market area, which was typically in shacks, because there is no refrigeration and electricity is spotty. "We were told we were lucky, but our electricity never went off," said Teri. She said they also never lost water service. But just in case, their rooms had a water pitcher for them to be able to use if the showers didn't work. She said they had to drink bottled water. Teri and Shel- by both said in Ghana they GHANA Continued from page 1 Shelby Waltz, of Petersburg, pictured helping register people lined up for a medical clinic in Ghana, which is run by volunteers with the Micah 6:8 Project.
