So I arrived in Accra about 11:15 am today. It was a really looooong flight, but thankfully I was able to watch a movie for free. The lady who sat next to me was a character. She had a very "in your face" personality that I don't think the flight attendants cared for. We got along fine because I pretty much did what she asked including holding her pillow and blanket for the first few hours of the flight so she would have room to spread out. I think the flight attendant finally had enough when she sent her breakfast back because it wasn't a low carb meal. Considering that no one else got breakfast on the plane until we were in line to unload this was a pretty bold move on the lady's part. The attendants handed out the biscuits right before we lined up so no one got to eat it anyway. The interesting thing about this lady was that she was traveling to Africa to teach college students conflict resolution skills. Apparently she travels around teaching different techniques of how to listen to others and improve inter-cultural communication.
So, I don't have much else to report because I have been hanging out at the mission house today. The missionaries are hosting an area meeting tonight and I'm invited to attend. They are expecting around 20 guest and it will be a time of fellowship and prayer.
So far the heat hasn't been too bad (I think the mission trips I used to take to Mexico were much worse). But I'm not in Saboba yet, so I shouldn't get too comfortable. Tomorrow I leave at 5 am to fly to Tamale and then on to Saboba!
