The Final Entry, maybe

Kathryn- ok so ... today was our last day here in AFRICA!!!! it was amazing. some of my favorite memories would be being scared to death when we first got here and apostle Odai had us all stand up in front of his church and we all had to sing.. well he kept handing me the mic. for some reason .. it was terifying . . . ok and also getting to learn a flippen awesome tribal dance with some of the locals. I LOVE RIDING IN THE BUS its like a ride everytime you get in it but i feel bad for the people who got motion sickness easily. also i loved going to the SHRUBS (bush) i felt so adventurous especially when it started to rain and i was out evangelising and my enterpreter would be talking to some people converting them to christianity in another language and then out of no where he would say "now the americans will tell you something" and i guess he expected us to just jump in. luckly stephanie was with me and she was a big help. I LOVED the medical mission stuff. i saw so many miraculous things that i probably will never see again and just the power of god to satify the needs of these people who dont have anything and have to rely on him for everything. oh and just for the record. apostle odai intimidates the crap out of me. over all this trip has been awesome and i know i havent fully comprehended everything i have learned here but I LOVE AFRICA (and i want to smuggle an african baby back home) theres not one ugly african baby here!! LOVE YOU MOM DAD AND SETH see ya when we get back. (you better not be over feeding lola):)..but really

Will M- I dont think I could put into words how incredible this trip has been and I am still trying to comprehend what has happened this week. Thank you for your prayers!

Stephanie - Well guys this is our last blog until we get home (unless something inspiring happens on the plane) and ya never know. Our final day was spent doing medical mission, feeding the elderly, and just hanging out with the kiddos. Allie and Christie inspired the elderly. Ghana vs. America in futbol. America held their own (4-3) (really 3-3 cause Adam scored for Ghana...we will forgive him eventually). We enjoyed the serene breeze of the ocean during dinner. AO also treated us to the best Ghanian ice cream ever! We shared eight scoops between each pair. Yes we are Americans and will eat anything put in front of us. What a perfect end to a busy week. Well we can't say it enough what amazing young men and women each of you have helped to raise. All of our lives will be changed. Thanks for all of your prayers and well wishes. We will see you on the flip side (i.e Tulsa).
