And we're off!

Hey everyone!

Well I'm departing for Ghana, Africa tomorrow around 7pm out of the Memphis airport. It's pretty crazy to think that I'll be on another continent within 36 hours.

I've been sick the past 2 days but thankfully I've pumped myself full of antibiotics and other medications to keep me up 'n running. I should be able to shake it before we arrive in Ghana but some prayer would be appreciated!

I want to be able to be fully functional for the WSYGers and the Ghana kids. It's hard to anticipate such a journey because I know there's nothing else that I can compare it to. Granted I did go to Brasil last summer, but this is a completely different culture and economic background. Even so, the kids at the Village of Hope have already captured my heart and as Courtney has stated "Megan you're going to get Africa in your blood and fall in love with it". I guess we'll see soon enough!

If you were wondering, I have created a separate blog for the trip to Ghana. Everyone on the team will be able to post from there so I'm sure it will be a good thing to keep up with. I will be responsible for the blog so you can expect to hear from me as well - along with photos! Get excited! Just see the link below:

Electricity might be unstable in Ghana but I will do my best to keep you updated. Don't hesitate to shoot an e-mail because we will have easy access to the internet (forreml@auburn.edu). Thank you so much for your support and prayers!

Until we meet again....
