We are so excited!! we got in last night around 8pm, made it through customs without much problem, then found Andy Laryea waiting for us at the airport exit, we squished our 6 suitcases into the car and then entered the most amazing traffic jam I've ever seen in any city in the evening!! We then went to the home of Pastor and Mrs. Ebenezer Markwei, our host while we are in Accra. We were met with hugs from he and his household help, we chatted for a bit about customs in the different regions (wow, getting married here is very interesting, more later...) around Ghana. Then, Pastor Markwei said, "well, let's eat!!" this was around 10:30pm, and Karen was already full, and so was I but we ate anyway. The menu was two different kinds of rice, chicken gizzards in red sauce, barbecued goat, chicken thighs, and spicey plantain. Of course I tried everything, and it was all delicious. We then talked, (okay mostly listened) to Pastor Markwei talk about his ministry here and abroad. We finally were escorted to our hotel at about 1am. Whipped, but glad to be here. I will try to post pictures of our day later on this evening. btw, while you are quietly sleeping at 2:51am, we are off to start our day at 9:51am.
talk to you soon Genesis!! Thanks for your prayers, we are so blessed to have you supporting us~!
in His Grip,
Pat and Karen and Andy
