Well I said last week that I would have more to say this week, and I do, but I'm in Accra and I need to hurry up and start my journey back to the village soon so this won't be all that detailed... Last week I finished up my 1st drafts to my TFA application (all that know me well, know that I spent hours writing it because I have A.D.D. and can't stay focused for more than 10 minutes at a time), so I'm happy to be finished with that step of the process at least. But why on Thursday after riding my bike 10 miles to town I got there and found out that the entire town had no internet service. So I met up with my German friend Guenther and his wife for a soda and got my ass back on the bike and rode 10 miles back to the village. This situation made me really, really, really, appreciate the internet in the US. Even when I left the village on Saturday to travel to Accra, I was traveling through Ho the city that I go to, to use the internet, and the internet was still out!!! Might still be out today, who knows. But I wasn't taking my chances so I just decided to use the internet in Accra before heading back.
I came to Accra this weekend to go to Dr. Mensa Otabil's church. He is a pastor here in Accra, Ghana and he and my pastor in the US are friends. Dr. Otabil came to my church before in America and my pastor comes out here I think once a year to preach at Dr. Otabil's church. But I'm really happy I made the journey because he is an amazing preacher! I'm going to try and come back at least one more time to his church but maybe even 2 more times. But I somewhat hate traveling to Accra because the drivers here are crazy!!! It was too funny coming here because I was in a big van and the driver was going soooo fast and whipping around corners, and driving like he was in a race. I was a little scared for my life, I had to say a prayer. But the funny part was when both me and the other white person reached to put on our seatbelts. All the other passengers I don't even think notice his crazy driving, but the white people (me and the other girl) were all nervous (LOL).
Okay that is where I'll leave off today. I might get to the internet on Thursday (if it's working). But otherwise God Bless you and I'll check in later!
