Let me tell you. It has been an adventure for sure. I'm not quite sure where to start. We have been traveling around the country and listening to lectures. The trip began in Akropong where we listened to lectures at Akrofi Christaller Institute , went on daily excursions and stayed at homes in the community for a couple days.
The family we stayed with was incredible! They were so generous and welcoming towards these two strangers coming to live with them for a couple days. Our host dad is a Pastor of the fastest growing church in Ghana, it happens to be the Pentecostal Church in Akropong. His wife Cecilia is a teacher at the local school. Together they have 4 kids Jemimah, Marc, Keszia and Peter. This was a really challenging experience. Having to constantly think about what you are doing and whether or not it would be considered offensive was exhausting. We learned a lot in a very short amount of time.
From Akropong we traveled to Cape Coast, where we stayed at a stunning beach resort called Brenu Beach. This place was paradise on so many levels. AIR CONDITIONING & WARM WATER! Praise Jesus. These are now a luxury and no longer expected. We didn't want to leave.
I am now in Kumasi spending the next couple days. Then we'll head up North this week.
I'll try to blog soon!
Prayers for health as we travel to Tamale and Bolga these places tend to wreck havoc on bodies unfortunately.
