Hey everyone!
We made it back home safe and sound yesterday. I sure hope you have enjoyed the Ghanaian blog we set up while I was away. I have a million things to share but first let's get some house keeping issues out of the way.
1.) Many of you are wondering why the WsygInGhana blog is down well here is why. Some pesky spammer posted a comment/link to inappropriate sites. Essentially when this happens, the friendly folks at Blogger will shut it down until otherwise notified. I am e-mailing them to assure the techies that isn't what we're about and the blog is for the Village of Hope in Ghana...I mean c'mon people. I will have that up and running soon to give you guys some feedback on the end of our trip.
2.) Some of you believed that I had malaria while in Ghana. Well kids I wasn't one of the lucky souls to contract said disease although I do have a bacterial infection. I'm headed to the doctor this afternoon to get some stronger antibiotics but don't fret your little hearts about me because I'll have you know I'm doing quite well.
3.) I'm assuming all of you will want to see pictures of Africa and I trust me I will come find you when I get home, drag you to a coffee shop or well anywhere you will sit down to show you and share my stories....but in the meanwhile I plan to set up a Flickr site so you can feast your eyes on what we saw in Ghana. I will let you know when I get that up and running.
4.) I am leaving for the OCOEE (rafting) trip on Sunday...so I will be out for a few days and will return to Memphis on Wednesday.
5.) I realize that perhaps some of you are ready to drag me back home so I figure I'd put that down in my calendar for you. I plan to leave Memphis either the 6th or 7th of August. Yes plan your party in accordance to that. Oh there will be a party.
That's all I have for announcements, please remember to take your family matters home with you, stack your chairs, and ENJOY!
Haha sorry I just couldn't help but do that. I want to take a quick moment and thank everyone of for their prayers and support while I was in Africa. Thank you to the ones who actually allowed me to go through finacial support or permission *cough cough parents cough* It changed my life forever and I do not say that as a cliche or without complete sincerity. I will never be the same because my heart is in Ghana. I guess I'll need that back eventually...
For the record I am extremely jetlagged hence the post at 7am in the morning which is the time of day I usually never see in America. To me it feels like noon which it is in Ghana.
Well I'm going to go grab some coffee since I'm up. Once again and as always, thanks for stopping by.
ps: Obruni is the Ghanian word for "White Person" yes I just saved you a Google search and for that you owe me a glass of sweet tea. Pay up.
