Ghana odds & ends

We'd like to share some our memories from this wonderful sun-baked coastal country.

The market at night is lit up by Bunsen burners…their only lights.










Twice when we stopped on our way to Accra, the battery in the van died. The boys were all too happy to be a part of pushing the van to jump start it.

Here's a cute Hippo video from Youtube:

A Kiss from God

One of our family fun times on this mission trip is to snuggle in front of the computer at night and watch a video together. As we snuggled together to watch 'Amazing Grace' one night, I made the comment that all we needed was popcorn to make the evening perfect. The boys all agreed. At home we almost always have popcorn when we watch a movie.

The very next morning when we arrived at our first stop, we climbed out of the van to discover these young women with a basketful of popcorn bags. The boys and I looked at each other and said, “Wow, that is a God-thing!”

He had provided not only for our needs but our simple wants too.

The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. Isaiah 58:11
