First Days

After some drama with the airlines and a changed flight, I have finally arrived here in Accra, Ghana. It has only been a couple days and already I am falling in love with this country and the culture! I have met many people from all over the world and am blessed and encouraged by their faith and perseverance. It is so amazing to see people in love with the Lord! 

Last night I went to a youth service (which are basically for anyone under age 30). It was very different from anything I had ever experienced before, but it was very, very cool! It was a little hard for me to understand everything because the English is so different, but I was touched. We spent A LOT of time in prayer, which I appreciated, and they sang songs in Twi (the language here), and it was very powerful. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. 

I am excited to be heading up north to Tumu this Saturday, where I will be living for the next nine months doing youth work (which is in soooo much need here). I cannot wait to see all the Lord is going to do in my life. I am still looking to Him to direct my steps for the future, but for now, I will be here and serve Him. 

PS. The weather is hot and humid. Hotter than Hawaii, it actually reminds me of Fiji weather. And the lizards are stinking huge!
