AFRICA!!!

We made it to Ghana!!!

Here we are just after we got off the plane and onto the shuttle bus which took us to the baggage claim. I can't believe we're finally here!


It's absolutely wonderful here! Nothing like home, but still wonderful! We haven't yet made it to Abomosu, the town we'll be living in, we stayed the night here in the capital city, Accra before we head out there.

Now, I have a lot to catch up on as far as the blog goes. I have a ton of pictures from my family's trip to Playa del Carmen, Mexico, which I plan to post, but I'm not on my computer right now. We have yet to set up the internet here and we have been permitted to use the internet here, so, while I'm the only awake at the moment, I decided to do a quick update. :) I also have pictures from our layover, where we got to spend a couple hours in the city of Amsterdam! It was so much fun, and I can't wait for you all to get a glimpse.

I still don't know much about Ghana, and because it was dark, we haven't seen much either, but I am excited to get to know this place better and get to know the people expecially. We have already met the most amazing people, and everyone here just seems so welcoming and giving. This summer is going to be incredible! And hopefully, when we get our computer set up with the internet here, I'll be able to continue to post pictures and write about all the great things we'll get to do here.

Here we are at the Accra, Ghana temple. After getting some much needed sleep I am so glad we got to stop by and see this on our ventures through Accra.
