24 hours in Ghana

WE'RE HERE! Thankful to be off the plane after we loaded up and a bad storm came to DC that kept us on the runway rocking back and forth for over 2 hours before we could take off. After 13 hours we were ready to stretchhh! Just a quick update.. 

Did y'all know I had the most wonderful sister? She expressed mailed me this package as my "African Survival Kit" the day before I left. I cannot wait to see the kids at the orphanage's faces when they get all these goodies!! Thanks Sis :) The Starbucks is going to keep me going too.. 

So, Sunday morning we headed to church at the big University here in Ghana. It lasted over 2 hours! There was over 500 people there (we stuck out needless to say)

After church we went to a Turkish restaurant called DNR and ate lunch. Chicken Doner was delicious! Don't let the bread fool you - it was full of air inside! 

Staci and I are staying here this week and next week we will be moving in with a family who works for HCJB Global. 

We finally got connected to the internet so we are updating our families :) 
The next two days will be full of orientation. Wednesday we will head to the villages and start our medical work. 
So far so good. Overwhelmed by all of the support, love, and prayers people have given me. Thank you to all! God is going to do great things this month. Xo
