Arrived Safely in Ghana


Hello everyone from Accra, Ghana. Yep I finally made it safely across the Atlantic for the third time this summer. It was a long flight. I left Myrtle Beach, and flew to Charlotte, then to Boston, Mass, then to Milan, Italy where I had an 8 hour layover. Yep 8 hours! Then I flew to Lagos, Nigeria and finally on in to Accra. I arrived here about 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday. I have been to so many continents and countries, I don't really know where I am but I'm having a ball. I've been through so many time changes I don't have the slightest idea what time it is but who cares right?

Adams and I are staying at the house of a Ghanaian who is presently staying in the U.S. We have his whole house which is huge and beautiful by American standards! We even have hot water and air conditioning! YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh let me tell you about Ghana's new national plan on conserving electricity. Last night all the power went off at 6:00 p.m. all over the country. It came back on at 6:00 a.m. this morning. Now tomorrow morning it will go off till 6 in the afternoon. And that cycle will repeat every two or three days. I can't believe we would ever agree to such a plan in the U.S. But everyone seems to be coping very well. Thank God our house has its own generator and all I have to do is buy the gas and we have lights and air. It' s not where nearly as hot here as it was in India. It's really pleasant. Well guess I"d better be going for now. Take care. Adams and I are going various places throughout Accra today. Next week we will be going to Ada to visit the schools that my church adopted and little Emmanuel.

Amibs came by to see me yesterday. He lives in Kasua which is about 30 minutes away from here. My art students have adopted his artschool and have helped him add classrooms to his school. We have also arranged for scholarships for two of his students so far and are getting ready for a third. His graduation is on the 29th and I have been asked to speak. Wow!

Well Adams is ready to go so I'll say good bye for now. Take care and I hope to hear from you soon.

Larry and Adams

P.S. Hey I just met this great artist from Nigeria who does beautiful sculpture out of concerete. He invited me to come by his studio one day soon so he can show me how he does his pieces. He's even going to let me video him as he works. Here's a sample of his work.
