Pound it... FLYING SNAIL! Btw don't worry mom. We're safe!

Today started off earlier than most days for our team. We were given the opportunity to appear live on television at a Ghana network building called "Skyy: Television and Radio Station". Its listeners and viewers attract up to 7 million people! What made it even cooler was that we would be talking about evangelism and why we are in Ghana. So the Lord was giving us an opportunity that was too great to pass up! Sadly, we had to be ready by 4:20 am and appear on the t.v. show at 5 am. While some people woke up later than others, we were all able to make it out of the door on time! The host of the t.v. show was really easy to get along with and before we went on, he let us know up front that he wanted all of us to make this a relaxing and fun time. This information helped to erase any doubts that we would have about the show and by the grace of God, we all gave clear and honest answers! After about 45 minutes of talking, we were finally done and the host gave us a tour of the station. We got back to the Mercy Lodge at about 6:15 and from that point on to about 4:30 pm, our day was filled with eating meals and sleeping:) Btw today was a good day in the lunch and dinner department, b/c we got to order food that we hadn't ordered before and judging by how well-received it all was, it won't be the last time we order them! We were supposed to evangelize from 4-6 pm, but our driver was late picking us up, but no worries. By the time he arrived, we hadn't gone too crazy waiting for him!
For our evangelism time, we went to the street that we were all at on Monday to check up on some of the people we witnessed to and evangelize to new people if we had the time. Some of us found people to evangelize to and some of us met up with old friends to encourage them and read the Word with them. By the power of God, our presence had an impact on people's lives! We all especially had fun playing with the neighborhood kids while we were waiting to leave. The kids enjoyed us as well as we introduced them to the different ways to pound your fists with one another, clapped and danced with them, and took pictures of them (it never gets old to see their excited and awestruck faces when the flash goes off:).
Now that we have made it to our halfway point, we are still continually learning about what God wants to do through us on this trip, but we are thankful for what he's taught us so far! The people of Ghana have been a joy to get to know and we hope that all of you back home will continue to shower us with your love and prayers. We are forever grateful and hope that God blesses you all!
