Greetings from Accra! We arrived safely back in Ghana this evening, great flight with Kenya Air – they actually left 30 minutes early! One thing we noticed when coming back is that Liberia has no street lights. Everything is much newer here in Ghana but Liberia is rebuilding… We were discussing a lot of Liberian history with the Ngenda's – such a treat as we wouldn't have that opportunity had we not stayed with them. We are very thankful for their hospitality and it was hard to leave, for the kids too. There wasn't much view from the sky as the dust continues to blow off the desert, all the way to South America!!! Seems like it's a little warmer here – what are we ever going to do back in Canada!?!?
We had our final meeting with Chris in town this morning. Chris is in constant relationship with the families of our sponsored kids. He knows where they live and directly enrolls them at their schools. Here is a picture of him with Les:
Pray the largest prayers. You cannot think a prayer so large that God in answering it will not wish you had made it larger. Pray not for crutches, but for wings. Heaven is full of answers to prayers for which no one even bothered to ask. (Billy Graham) AMEN!!!!
To God be all the praise and honour and glory for the great things He has done!
This is a newly paved road from Elwood Junction to Roberts Airport. The airport is approximately one hour outside of Monrovia:
