Safe in Accra

Hi folks,

We have the rare capability of WIFI in our hotel room, so we're taking a moment to post an update. The team has arrived safely in Accra, Ghana. The flight here was uneventful and a little quicker than expected. In some areas the plane was only half full, so there were many open seats. When we got here there was plenty of humidity and people ready to help us. While the temps were only in the lower 80's F, the humidity was about 90%. (this being written by a fat guy who sweats looking at a flight of stairs).
     Once loaded up on the bus that we'll be taking, Ernest, our driver in 2011 and this year, wove us through the city of Accra. We got to see many sights...some of them 3-4 times! After a couple more hours on the bus we found our hotel (tucked in the back of a "subdivision") and were able to dump our things.
    We got back in the bus and traveled over to Joanna Ofori-Amonfo's sister's house in Accra. She fixed a beautiful meal for us of traditional Ghanaian food. We finally got back to the hotel, had devotions together and heade doff to be about 11:00 pm here. For those in the states, we are currently 5 hours ahead of Central Time.
   
Today and tomorrow are a couple days of more travel, and we will update as we can. Thank you for your prayers and your support.
Peace,

Your Ghana Mission Team
