Life in Ghana.

Hello! Life here in Ghana has been pretty crazy the past few days. Monday night, went to pick up a couple people from the airport, and pick up my lost bag. When we were leaving the parking lot we were hit by another taxi. We were all fine and there was only minor damage to the car. Praise God! There driving here is crazy. They like to drive in the middle of the road, and they use their horns for everything. Oh, and they very rarely stop. That has been an interesting experience.

A typical day here starts at about 8am for us. The adults get up at 5, but we are never up quite that early. We get ready and have breakfast, and then it's time for school. Emily, Sarah, and I teach school for the little ones (preschool - 1st/2nd grade) We didn't know before we got here that we would be teaching school, so it's taking some getting used to, be we're enjoying it a lot. After school it's time for lunch. We have had a loooot of beans since we got here. Almost every meal. But the food is pretty good for the most part, just very spicy. After lunch it's nap time. Which is really nice, because usually we get to take a nap after the kids go down. Once nap time is over we either play outside or watch a movie. They looove to watch movies. After that it's time for dinner and then baths. We have the wonderful privilege of bathing the children, outside, with a bucket. That has definitely been an interesting experience. After that we play and then put them to bed. Once they're all in bed we head back to our room to shower (from a bucket), and try to give all you guys an update before we fall asleep.

Tomorrow, James, Sarah, and I will go to Chorkor with Lola to deliver some food to a couple of families there. It's a little more rugged than it is here, so that will be an experience for us.

Thank you so much for all your prayers! They are greatly appreciate. :)
