Jeremiah 31:10 Hear what The Lord has to say, O nations. Proclaim it in the faraway lands along the sea. Say, "the one who scattered Israel will regather them. He will watch over His people like a shepherd watches over his flock."

| Ghanian Pizza-Yum! |
We woke up to a breakfast of eggs and toast and a wicked grape juice that shocked even Casely and Kwame when they tasted it. We spent that morning in orientation, being introduced to the ministry of Scripture Union by Uncle Kwame. We were treated with Ghanian pizza as we left Accra. 11 of us piled into the 15 passenger van with our luggage headed for Kumasi.

| On the road to Kumasi |
The typical 4-6 hour drive through various villages, across miles of unfinished road construction (you won't hear us complain about road construction in the states again!), with countless close encounters with head on collisions, ended up extending to a "record-breaking" 7 hour drive.
Another reason the trip took so long was due to the flat tire we got around hour 6.

| Flat tire |
Some may call it convenient, we call it divine that we found ourselves next to a tire repair shop at the time of our flat tire, along a dirt portion of the road in a small village. This led to our first encounter with the youth of Ghana. At least one marriage proposal later (no names will be mentioned...and it may have been more than one proposal, we couldn't tell what they were saying in their native tongue and broken English) we finished the drive to Kumasi. We went to bed early because we had to rise early for church the next morning.
