Departures and Arrivals

Team 1 has arrived safely in Accra. We had somewhat of a bumpy landing, but all is well. We dropped our things off at the Baptist Guesthouse and went to the market. Oh my goodness, taking 8 girls to the market in Accra was quite an experience! I just hope they don't exceed the 100lb weight limit on their luggage. After the market, we visited Beacon House, a local orphanage. They have 33 children, all ages. The team had a great time playing with them. We are now back at the guesthouse. Don't tell the team, but we are having PIZZA tonight for dinner. In the van on the way from the airport, they remembered that there was HOT water at the guesthouse and they were so appreciative of that. Funny how so many things can change in just a few days. Also, I noticed that none of the team members turned on the air conditioners in their rooms when we arrived.

Tomorrow is our visit to Agbogbloshie. This the village I started in years ago, working with Pastor Mohammed. They are a congregation of about 75. Pray that we can be an encouragement to them.

Please pray for Team 2, who is departing from DFW at 4:20pm today. They will arrive in Accra tomorrow afternoon. I am excited that both teams will see each other for about 3 hours and will have dinner together.

A side note....when we arrived at the Accra Guesthouse we met some other Texans. How fun!
