We are in the final moments of preparation before we leave for the airport this morning. We just had an interesting night of adjusting to the Ghana schedule (which for us meant going to sleep at 6pm and waking up at 2am) and now we leave for the airport in a few hours.
We wanted to post one last time thanking everybody, sharing our schedule for the next two weeks, and giving up prayer requests.
First and foremost, we want to offer our sincere appreciation for everybody who has and continues to support us on this trip! We have received the blessing of many generous contributions; financial, prayer, supplies, hospitality, encouragement. We couldn't be going on this trip if it wasn't for all of these things, so please receive our gratitude with love and joy!
