I am FINALLY back in Fettah at the village of hope and its sooooo nice to be here! Today we got up went to school to say goodbye with every intention of leaving around 10..because that is what time we were told our ride was going to get there...at 1:30 he drives up...haha everyone here is on ghanaian time and usually I dont care...but I really wanted to leave this morning. So we got back here around 7ish. The drive back was long and I only wish yall could experience how bad the roads are here in some areas. You have to dodge potholes even if it means almost hitting other cars head on. There were a few times tonight were I truly thought we were going to get hurt haha. but we made it back and this LONG day was all worth it when I stepped out of the car to hear some kids running up saying my name :] they rememered me even after the 2 weeks we were up in the mountains!

 So..I will admit that I do miss the weather we had in Abetifi. It was cool at night and I wore a sweatshirt pretty much everynight and here all you do is sweat. but like I said, being here is 100% worth it. 

 On the drive back we took a detour and went through a really poor part of this country. I mean I wouldnt guess but that the peoples only possesions were what they had on their back or in there tiny house made of scrap metal. I saw houses made out of mud bricks with leaves as a roof. I mean Ive always known that's how a bunch of people live over here, but once you actually see it in person and see the people face to face that live like that, your heart goes out to them. I kid you not, the majority of the people I saw had a smile on their face. If only we could be more like them...be literally dirt poor but still treakin each day. I know I complain when I have to clean my room sometimes, I should be thankful I even have one.

on a happier note, all is good in Africa. Ghana and the USA play tomorrow at 2 and 6:30 so if you are football....'soccer' fans you should deff. watch and cheer for both teams. OH and did I mention how EXCITING it is to be in Ghana when their the only team in Africa making it through. This place goes CRAZY and I love every second of it :]
