Thursday Morning in Accra

My goodness, what a different a good night's rest makes! The team just finished a breakfast of pineapple, yogurt, oatmeal and french toast. Everyone is rested and feeling great. Jennifer, one of my girls, has been running a low grade fever for a couple of days, but she is just fine this morning, praise God. Please continue to pray for her.

I just have to comment on dinner last night. The team did not know we were having 4 different kinds of pizza. You should have seen their faces and heard their squeals (girls) and hoots (boys) when they saw it. They even jumped up and down. What I didn't tell you is that all we had for lunch yesterday was bread. But it was Ghanaian sweet bread, which is heavy and filling. In fact, we all LOVE the sweet bread. You'll eat anything when you are really hungry, right? Today is chicken and rice for lunch.

Pray as Team 2 continues their travels here. They will arrive at 3;25pm in Accra. We are 5 hrs ahead of Texas time here. The entire team is very excited to see them and share their stories. Tomorrow, Team 2 will travel to Cape Coast and tour the Elmina Slave Castle.

Team 1 departs Accra at 10:45pm tonight so pray for them to have a safe journey home. Also, pray that everyone stays healthy.

I've encouraged the team to email home (slow slow connection), but most of them don't have the patience to wait on the computer to load. You will see them soon, though.

In our team meetings, what I keep hearing over and over is that they know that this trip has not been about them, but about others. They got it.

Our prayer has been and will continue to be that God is glorified in all that we say and do.
