Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

well today was a success! We went to the rain forest and went on the canopy walk.....might possibly be the best thing i've ever done. You walk on this board held up by a net and a bunch of ropes from tree to tree and your up so high in the canopy! The bridge thing would sway so you had to keep your balance which made it kind of scary, but more fun! We kept saying that the fact that were in a rain forest in Africa made it 10xs better! So if you ever come to Ghana....that is a MUST DO!!!! i took a lot of pictures and even some video too :] Then we went to Cape Coast to the Elmina Castle. That is where africans were kept before being sold into slavery. It was so interesting and really sad..all kinds of emotions are felt walking throught that place. We saw the 'room of no return' which was were they were held until they got onto the boat and heard of different things that happened to the people there. It was pretty unreal, because you grow up hearing about that happening back in the 1500's but to actually walk their walk and touch the walls of the dungeons was intense. Makes me so happy that the world we live in today is so different than that. I have more stories about the castle but im exhausted so i'll tell y'all later!

  Tomorrow me and laci are bringing some of the kids down to this football [soccer] camp because they want to play a game and apparently the man in charge down there said to get 11 players and a adult...so we were the chosen ones! im pretty excited. Then after that is our big game. well see how much skill i still have haha! Its crazy that we have been here 3 weeks already! and 3 more to go....it really is going to be hard to leave here!

oh && if you need anything just email me!! sad07a@acu.edu
