You are the Most High God Jehovah

Hi there everyone!!

I have officially been in Africa for 2 weeks!! God has been sooooo good!
As we were flying into Accra it was so crazy because from a birds eye view all you can see is little huts and dirt roads. The missionaries we have been working with are so awesome! My favorite is Kobe :-) He is like the father figure of our team. Anyways, I had some culture shock as we were driving down the street. The roads are dirt...so no lines...no policeman pulling people over for wreckless driving ha so basically every man for himself. People are walking up and down the street with baskets balanced on their heads of things to sell. They walk up to your car every chance they can. I have discovered Plantain chips which are really yummy :-)
We have traveled to our next location and we are staying at a 'hotel'. As we have traveled farther north there are fewer that speak English and many that speak 'Tree.' I am working on learning the language ha but everybody laughs at my southern accent. Apparently, I am the southern belle of this trip!
We have gotten to do some recreational things here and there such as we attended a professional futbol game, went to some waterfalls, a museum, and saw these 'holy' monkeys that are supposedly the children of the gods (needless to say we prayed hard for that village).
Our ministry work has been really awesome. In the mornings, we have been going to different schools to teach math and english (I actually tutored some kids in math haha!), we have been having some counseling sessions, we have helped some of the vocational schools make and lay concrete, and we have been preaching in these schools too. During the afternoons we have been doing ministry in the marketplace and that is overwhelming in itself. There are soooooo many people! But the key to any Africans heart is music and dance which has been lots of fun for me ha! The church services we have attended have been extremely charasmatic and refreshing. Every night we have been going to remote villages to play games with the children and preach the gospel. There have been many that I have wished I could treat medically somehow, but we won't have a doctor to work with until we get to our next location.
God is working in a mighty way through prayer and preaching. One of the biggest things I am learning on this trip is to really have an ear to listen to God and faith to believe that He is able to do anything.
My prayer requests would be the following:
1. I am sick right now with a stuffy nose and soar throat, so please pray for a fast recovery. Also, that my teammates would be healthy!
2. Pray against the discouragement of the devil in these villages and schools we are going to. There are many witch doctors in the communities and many lost souls. Pray that these peoples hearts would be softened before we come to them.
3. Pray that we would have the strength and endurance to be able to love on these people as Christ would. That we would not let ourselves get in the way of what God is trying to do.

I wish I could write more details, but the computer I am using is extremely slow ha! But Praise God that I have a computer to talk to ya'll with! :-)
I am praying for ya'll as well! I hope that the Lord is doing a great work in everybody this summer. I pray you allow God to use you! People need the gospel in Africa and America!

Nyamesheramo!! (God Bless ya'll!)
