Akwaaba!  Greetings from Ghana.  We have arrived in Accra after two fairly smooth flights, and have spent a wonderful first evening with our hosts in Accra, the Korums.  Our trip through Accra from the airport to their house was not as different as we expected – in many ways, like a city in the US, but much more colorful :) the streets were busy, lined with people carrying things on their heads or walking between the cars to sell those well-balanced objects, with motorcyclists zipping in and out of the cars.  Their tall buildings were among the very colorful landscape, with lots of different geometric shapes and designs, which made for an exciting drive.

It’s still hard to believe that we’re here, actually here.  Daniel and I have been enjoying the small glimpses of “wildlife” that we’ve seen here, a few small birds and a dancing lizard, and look forward to tomorrow, when we’ll be flying up north to Tamale, and getting to start the work we’re here for!!  A huge praise, all 10 pieces of our luggage made it here with us, despite the very short layover we had in Belgium – which means that we have all of our clothes, tech equipment, and all of the Bible+ units we brought here!

There will be more to report tomorrow I’m sure, but for tonight, we’re re-packing and getting ready for our flight up north tomorrow (and sleeping, which I’m really looking forward to!).  We are praising God for the luggage arriving here, and for good health so far, and are asking Him for safe travels on the rest of our journey, and for a productive start to our technical work tomorrow.

Grace and peace to you all,

Kaitlyn
