The conclusion

Leaving Ghana is bitter sweet. We are excited to get back to our home and more importantly our family and friends. However, it is tough to leave our new friends in Ghana and all that God has been doing in us and through us. 

Last night (Wednesday), we stayed in Accra at a hotel across the street from the airport. We left for the airport at 6AM and proceeded to go through approximately six lines of security before finally reaching our seats on the plane. We are currently (Thursday) in the air somewhere over the atlantic ocean at about 35,000 feet. As soon as we boarded the plane, I felt America. 

We will land in New York in about 5 hours, proceed to Salt Lake City, and then finally reach Phoenix. We will be arriving close to lunchtime and plan on heading over to one of our favorite restaurants that serves pizza and other food we love and, at the current time, crave.

God blessed us with an incredible African experience. We will be forever changed and will never forget it. Our faith has grown, our hearts have softened, our understanding of the world has expanded, and our love for our Savior, Jesus Christ, is off the charts. May we never loose what we have gained and may we live it out in America too. 

We are excited to see what God has in store for us next. He is always doing a new thing.

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. - Isaiah 43:18-19
