After delays, rushing through security in Knoxville, a beautiful sunset on the way to Atlanta, and a very long flight across the ocean, we finally made it to Accra about 1:15 Sunday afternoon. James and I were expecting a blast of heat the second we stepped off the plane, but thankfully it wasn't too bad! One of my bags didn't make it off the plane in Accra, but Emily and I will go back to the airport and get it this evening.
We arrived at GMI and spent the rest of the day getting to know the kids. This morning, Sarah and I got to teach school for the preschoolers, and hopefully this afternoon or tomorrow we'll go see Lola at AOH! (She's a lady from Knoxville staying at another orphanage here in Ghana)
It has been so much fun getting to love on these kids! They call all three of us "mommy", which is kind of overwhelming when a bunch kids are shouting it all at once, but I'm loving every minute of it!
I'll try to upload pictures on Facebook at least every couple days so you guys can see what we're up to. Thank you so much for all your prayers!
