I Made It!!

Praise God we made it!! What an amazing adventure. God has already shown me His love and mercy through these wonderful past few days. To begin with- I made it through the airports and security without a hitch:) I forgot to take my Zanax and thought I would have a problem when the flight took off, but I sat back and said a prayer and I was fine.

Once we landed in DC we had about 6 1/2 hours until our long flight to Accra, Ghana. This was a time we were able to get to know each other, rest, and eat a little before getting on the plane for the LONG flight. I was even able to sleep a little and have not experienced much jet lag.

Once we arrived at the McIntyre's Debbie arrived with two babies to care for. One boy and a girl- they are both the cutest little ones I have ever seen! We have all been enjoying getting to know the little ones.

We were also able to visit an orphanage today. We played with the children and listened to a story with them. My heart goes out to each and every child there. But, I do find comfort in the fact that it is a Christian orphanage and the children are taught about God. It is my prayer that the children can find comfort in knowing Him.

Tomorrow we go to the village market. That should be very interesting!! I can't wait for the experience and to see how the villagers shop for their food. We will see what God has in store for us tomorrow.
