Ok, so we've been in Accra, Ghana for 3 days now and not a single blog update. Some of you think we have forgotten, or maybe we've been kidnapped by mad Ghanaian gorillas (the animal kind). But no, the truth is that internet in Ghana is very shy at our apartment. It works for the Ghanaians, but when it sees an abroni (white person) coming through the wire, it gets scared and can't talk. But finally we found abroni friendly internet at our friends Ryan and Melissa's house. So an update:
Accommodations....
WOW! My mom told me I would miss hot showers and a/c and a house with no bugs. Eat your heart out Mamisita!!!!!
We are staying with an amazing Ghanaian family, the Agyapongs who happen to own the biggest trash pickup service in Ghana and Cote de Ivoire! Here we are known as Uncle Ben
AIS...
This is American International School, the place we are working in Accra. For the past 2 days, we have helped kids with spelling and reading and the art of baseball. We're both batting at thousand... just saying. Bring it on 2nd graders
Beacon House...
The orphanage just across from the school. The world's best trampoline wrestling team resides here (Ben and I have discussed the resulting soreness of certain muscle groups) and some pretty cool kids too
So Very Very proud of you Ben. You are still being prayed over and under and on all sides. You are within the arms of the most high's protection. Enjoy this opportunity and drink from the Lord's cup. Love you fella. Miss you. Talk to mom every night about the blog and Anne Clair's site. Take care of you for all of us, and the other of the 2 Bens too. He is in our prayers just like you. Love you so very much.
