This morning was an early start after not getting much sleep the past two days. We got up, had breakfast then headed to church. We stopped by a local church in Accra before we started on another journey. "Pastor" Marty Boeschling lead us in a sermon on Power and Auhority found in Mark 1, while being translated by Pastor Daniel Yaw Akuoko. Matt "Jada-flav" Jaderston played his guitar as we sang choir style in front of the church. It was a little differnt for them to sing "How Great is Our God", campared to there traditional, completely upbeat music full moving around, dancing, and loud singing.
After the service we loaded up in our charming little van, and headed towards Takoradi. On our trip we had encounters with many new things. I tried fish eyes. I'm not going to go into great detail, but i would discribe them as chewy peas with a bit of a crunch. They tasted salty and yumptious. We got our first glimpse of the coast today, shortly after we drove through the University Campus in Cape Coast Ghana.
We finally arrived safe and sound in Takoradi at the Mercy Lodge. Its different then we had all expected. We have been provided with motels rooms that do in fact have air-conditioning, what a blessing! I hope your enjoying the blog!
