Hey Hey Hey, thanks for pray, pray, pray-ing! I feel refreshed from our Spiritual Life Conference. It may have been the most humid one I can remember in a long time but still, to be surrounded by green grass, diverse team members and food that I did not have to cook or put away makes up for that. Our speakers were long time missionaries who now live in Scotland. They had much to share with us from the Word and also their life experience. It was a time to see how amazing the SIM Ghana team is. Every morning in our morning session we started out with praise and worship and we would have one culture teach us a song in their language. It was great!
We had times to sit and chill and times to play games. I played some volleyball. I cannot remember the last time I played! We each had a time to share what God has done the past year. In sharing my past year the tears poured down. It was a way better year than last year and I am so thankful. But I still have a tough road to climb and Damary and my other colleague Yvonne will be leaving me. I have other teammates but these two ladies have been very special to me these past (almost 3) years. God is faithful and I have Him and all His amazing promises to keep me going! We had a time to say farewell to a couple who have been in Ghana for 19 years. I lived next to them while I worked in Accra. They are such an amazing couple and I will really miss them too.
Mission life is always filled with hellos and goodbyes. Sometimes it really stinks! But, anyways, we have our hope to see each other in Eternity.
So, back to real life. I have some random things to take care of before I head to Gushegu. For sure I need to be there by Sunday since I am the one giving the message. You can pray for that. Also, I hope to have a new language helper in Tamale and meet with her this week. I need to figure out in what new things to learn and how to make my own sentences and...and...and... you know, all that great stuff.
Again, thanks for praying. My goal is to do a level 3 exam by Christmas. I got 8 months to really kick this language and overtake it! Be praying! Love you.
