*the building to the left is where we stayed
Finally, after much preparation, but most importantly—prayer, our team including our equipment had finally made it into the country. There were certain problems that Matt and I had anticipated arising, potentially putting the project itself at risk just because of the nature of the equipment we were carrying into a 3rd world country, but really all I can say is that it was obvious that God had gone before us making the path clear. God continued to show His faithfulness in this way throughout our time in Ghana in really monumental ways that I am excited to share with you.
We have only been home for week and finally making our way out of the jetlag fog, yet I am already eager to get back. (We will talk more about that later too). There is no place like Africa—the people, the land, and the culture. Bob and Bonnie’s presence along with home cooked meals (Bonnie’s biscuits and gravy—I am telling you what, that is some good stuff, people) added with Zoe’s pictures placed throughout our room made the compound feel like home. Even through the natural angst of leaving Zoe behind in DC, I don’t think two weeks has ever passed so quickly before in my life. The first day we got settled in at the compound then after a nice casual dinner with Bob and Bonnie (it was like we had known these people for years) we made sure that all of our equipment was running smoothly along with batteries freshly charged and compact flashes clean. Then we debriefed as a team and went over plans for the next day and called it an early night. With lights out and the air on high (it’s Africa), thankfully all of us enjoyed a good night’s rest.
