Soon we will all be headed home. The men spent the day trying to help finish up the Baptistry while the women divided up bags of clothes and shoes that were left here to be given to the children and house parents. About the time we finished, the rains came. Good ole rainy season! The temp is quite bareable today. There is a scheduled power outage in about 5 mins, so this has to be brief. We have so many experiences to share with you when we return. Tomorrow we leave here early for a little shopping in Accra, lunch, then to the airport. Please pray that we will all return to you safely. I have heard many people say they are eager to see their families at home. Bud (and the family dog) have been missed, and I have heard Mark, Michelle, and Jeff say many times they are ready to hold their children. A small tidbit of good news that is circulating: Fred has been given 50 acres of land by a local village chief to expand the VOH in years to come. Praise God! This makes his dream of someday building Hope University that much closer! For now, he is hoping to maintain things the way they are and get "good" at it before expanding.
Well, we have our mixes feelings about leaving this place, but we miss you all and can't wait to see your smiling faces! Much love and see you soon. :)
