A small miracle on my first day in Ghana...
Hey all. I made to Ghana. I'm staying with my host Dasse Francis (first name Francis) and his family. I'm in a Ghanaian home to start the trip (well they are actually originally from Ivory Coast so...) He oversees one of the churches in my global network of churches here. I am resting, fed well and I have a couple of days of light activities to adjust to being here. It's just perfect. Thanks for all your well wishes and prayers. My Ghana experience began today. So far so amazing! I attended the above described church today and it was a lot of fun. One of my most important missions while I am here is to find myself and my youngest daughter a drum. At worship today I bumped into an American man who is a music professor at the Berkelee School of Music in Boston. This man teaches African Music at, arguably, the top music school on the US! He actually teaches a course called The Djembe Drum for nNon-Percussionists! He turned me on to the absolute perfect person to custom make my drum for me and it's only going to cost me $100 and includes a case and custom carvings. On the very first day of my trip, one of my most important missions was hand delivered to me without me making any effort whatsoever! He also invited me to stay at his home in Aburi. This is one of my highlighted destinations for potential airbnb before I came but I haven't been able to find anywhere I felt great about to stay. I really wanted to see and get a grasp on Aburi but had not plans and no access and now he basically offered me the keys to his house! This is crazy. This is just how my life goes now everybody.😮😮 That's it for now. Love you all and thank you for the ongoing support. It is a great sense of comfort to know that you all are here. Love, peace and Justice!
