Hey everyone reading at home, This is shaun and someone left the computer out so i thought id do some damage. Didnt read any posts put before mine so sorry if i repeat anything. Me Will Mortensen Jeffery Gunter and Greg Grunewald are the only people here at the hotel right now on account of we went to work at the construction site while the rest headed out on a three hour buss trip to the bush... We will be joining him tomrrow. The construction on the Pole barn is coming very well. Alot of white people not knowing what they are doing + 1 greg mixes suprisingly well with abunch of bossy african workers that enjoy the extra help and company. I am enjoying my time here and learning so much. I want to thank everyone for their prayers. Its kinda weird to drive down the street and have every single person staring at you because they dont EVER see white people running around, but you get used to it. Some things i have learnd thus far:
1 you want a mob start kincking the soccer ball around (obvious)
2 make sure you have extra memory on your phone/camera before giving it out to children.
3 dont throw your toilet paper in the toilet after use (learnt from reading the sign not experiance)
4 give small amounts of sleep aids out at begining of trip. Charge at the end.
5 Setting work gloves on the ground results in them being permently borrowed (took me a whole five minutes to learn that one
6 Balls-O-Chicken are not boneless
7 dont leave your snacks out in the open (i am eating will w's yum yums at this very moment)
8 Hammering nails is harder than it looks (although i, of course, am an expert)
9 Real food is kinda good.
Want to say hey to mom, dad and seth. Hope everythings going well at home. Love you all, see you soon.

Shaun! Thanks for the fyi on everything :). And for your willing heart along with the rest of the crew! I pray ya'll feel the prayers coming your way. You and every other member of ya'll's group has been gifted in such a special and unique way, and it's beautiful to see how the Lord is using His body of believers together over there. I am PRAYING that ya'll are encouraged in love and joy, and that it is overflowing unstoppably through you guys. One of my favorite songs by DCB says "I've got nothing on my own to give to you, but this light that shines on me shines on you and makes everything beautiful again." God's holding ya'll in the palm of His hand and also has his precious children's names in Ghana written on His heart... I praise Him that you guys are able to experience a glimpse of His work over there! We will be prayerswimming tonight at the Chapmans! Loves loves loves and hugs hugs hugs to everyone!
Shaun, I'm glad you decided to "do some damage." It's good to get to hear your take on what is happening through your work on the pole barn & what you're experiencing with the people of Ghana. Keep up the good work & know that all of you are prayed for daily!

Shaun! It was so good to see your post. I forgot how funny you can be. We are missing you and Kathryn and the rest of the team, but are so thankful you are doing good and serving the Lord over there. Don't get weary and come back to us safe. We love you and are continuing to pray.

You guys are working so hard in our Lord's ways. It's so awesome! =) I hope that you boys will be able to get plenty of sleep and be rejuvinated and ready to continue God's work though you. =) Tell everyone that I say "hi" and that I miss you all like crazy!
Here's a message for Jeffrey G! :
I didn't get to tell you beforehand, but you're one of the people that I see God working though most and He's made you a wonderful person and friend. I can't wait to hear about everything you've been able to do with Him in Ghana, and I know that it will be a lot!
And I definitely think you've gone through the right door.
See you soon enough!

Shaun and others,
Thanks for the notes! Of course, like everyone else, I continually go to this page to see what else is new. I love the reports I am hearing so far. It just reminds me of the trips I have been on and all that God can do through us when we let him. I am there with you in spirit (however, in air conditioning!) and I am praying for you all. Can't wait to hear more! Allie, you better be taking tons of pictures! Love you all.
