Hello all!
Sorry about the lack of blogs lately… a few mishaps have gotten in the way of me being able to post anything. My laptop that I brought suddenly only works when it is plugged into the wall – and of course my power converters have all mysteriously stopped working. So that leaves me to type my blogs at the internet cafe which is about 2 hours away… The last place we were at had internet but it took about 25 minutes just to check my email…
SO. All that aside, I love Africa!!! From the minute our plane touched down I had chills. We were greeted at the airport by the entire staff that we’re doing ministry with, and they’ve done nothing but go out of their way to take care of us the past few weeks. The first two weeks we spent in a city called Tema working with a lady named Rev. Martha. We helped out at her church, preaching and teaching and playing music for them. Our last 2 weeks we are staying in a seaside village called Kokrobite with a man named Rev. Gabriel. He is absolutely wonderful, and our ministry has been much of the same stuff as we did with Rev. Martha. When it comes to speaking at churches, let’s just say that is not my strong point… At first I almost felt like a lost puppy dog without a piano! Haha. But I’m learning and definitely getting better about getting up infront of a crowd of people. It is HOT HOT HOT here, so hot that even though we have rooms to sleep in, we sleep in our tents because it’s almost suffocating inside. And for some reason we have a nice breeze throughout the day – but at night everything is absolutely still and even in our tents we sweat through the night! There’s no reason to complain, however, because we are literally 20 steps from the beach 🙂
Anyways, that’s the quick update for you all… I’ll be writing more blogs soon about everything going on in more detail. Hopefully the internet situation will be a little more manageable in the next few weeks!
Love and miss you all!
