We are finally here! After two almost sleepless nights and days. The Lord has blessed our trip – now problems at the customs or with luggage. Even though we had overweight we were able to bring everything the missionaries requested and even some snacks for us without having to pay extra! Praise the Lord!
Sasha (the Wycliffe translator) picked us up at the airport and we headed off for our hotel. But he lost his way =) so we also got a little tour of Accra (the capital of Ghana). Then after some refreshment – red papaya, pine apple, melon – pastor Pavel, Nick and the missionaries went to do the major shopping before we head off to the village.
Tomorrow will travel about 6 hours to our final destination – village Vane. We also have to buy supplies for construction work and a xerox.
We had dinner and I ended up very full. I guess I ate from fear of may be having the last normal meal in three weeks. It was chicken with rice with fried bananas – which were yammy! But actually it is so hot here that you constantly want to drink so there isn't much room in your stomach for anything else than water =)
From what I've seen of Ghana and the people so far – they are all very friendly – they greet cordially everyone they meet. But then there were some very friendly helpers at the airport who wanted some reward for their “friendliness”. Another thing -they are happy- just HAPPY – seems like they know how to enjoy and value life.
