Its really hard to imagine that in only 16 days ill be leaving for Ghana, Africa. All the hard work really paid off. I should be receiving my exact placement next week, and the wait seems to be killing me. Anywhere im put I will be grateful, but just getting all the finial details is such an important step and makes everything finally come together.
I have been organizing, packing, unpacking and repacking, and even more organizing. Making list, and crossing them out. Printing contact information and so much more for my family. So even though the wait seems like it is taking forever I seem to be pretty much keeping myself busy.
Everything’s done, all my meds, all my shots, passport, visa…you name it and I got it done. Now its just the 16 day wait.
I never really considered myself a VERY religious person. Though I am Baptist I do not attend regularly like when I was younger. I just feel as if this trip is something that I was put on this earth to do. Because I know that this one trip will open doors and opportunities that I will have never thought about otherwise. I am truly blessed by the support I received. And hope to continue more work like this in my future.
I have gotten a lot of questions as to how I will be living on this trip like housing, food, water, and things of that nature. For everyone who was wondering. We have a “safe house” which I like to describe as a mini college dorm. We have a kitchen and dinning area and there are 4 same sex people to a room with bunk beds. The beds have mosquito nets and fans. And basically as long as I eat and drink what Is in the house I should be perfectly fine. And we have bottle water to carry around town. I don’t have any personal pictures yet but here are a few I was able to find online of the actual base house.
