I am in Ghana !!!!

TRAVELING
I am finally in Ghana and it has been a crazy two days. I left on Thursday night not feeling very well at all. I made it to London at about 11. 25am and I hung out there for about 2 hours after re going through security and everything like that. The flight to London was pretty long but I slept through most of it. Then when I got to London I asked myself around the airport because I really didn't know what or where I was going! I finally got to the terminal where I needed to be and found out that they do not put your gate up until an hour before your flight so I was a little nervous about that but it was not that bad. When I finally got on my flight to Ghana I got to sit next to a really nice guy from Holland. It happened that he was coming to Ghana to help build homes for teachers to live in up North so that the kids could get good education. He was going with a big group on a missions trip so it was nice to talk to him. It was a good trip and we talked for some of it in between eating and sleeping. I finally made it to Accra at around 8. 20 and so did my LUGGAGE !!!! which was so exciting. When I got back to the Palace ( pictures soon to come) i pretty much fixed my bed and went to sleep.

FIRST FULL DAY IN ACCRA
This day was really exciting but i still did not feel the best so I really was not looking forward to doing anything. However, God had a different plan my roommates wanted to go to an orphanage and so I went with them and those children were such a blessing. They loved seeing us they almost tackled us when we walked in the door. They all had huge smiles on. I thought to myself i am feeling sorry for myself because I don't feel very well and these children they glow whenever they get company and they have almost nothing and it made my attitude change really fast, being with those kids made me forget that i wasn't feeling good and it perked the rest of my day up. Then last night my roommates and I made our first meal of rice and vegetables and it was really good. I also had my first taste of mango which was really good.

SECOND FULL DAY IN ACCRA
wow I cant believe i have been in Accra for two whole days now, although it feels like i have been here for a long time. I never knew i would adjust so well to everything. Today we got up and went to an international church which was very interesting but good. then we went to the mall so that me and another girl could get our cell phones and some other things that we needed. One thing you can pray about is that my debt card works in the atms, because it is a MasterCard it didn't work in the atm we went to today. If it doesn't work on any other atm I am going to have to switch banks and things which is going to be difficult since i am here and not in the states. I am also having a little difficulty with my visa gift cards so those would be two big prayer request as i try to figure things out. Tomorrow we start teacher orientation so that is really exciting and I cannot wait to get to know all the old teachers better. another prayer request is that the school is not finished yet with the construction so we don't know for sure if we can start class when we are supposed to so pray for that. We all know God is good and He takes care of us.
