Lots of Driving and a new city

Hello everyone!  i apologize in advance for the lack of capital letters in this post.  it's killing me to be so grammatically incorrect, but the internet is down at our hotel and i'm writing this from an internet cafe.  the keyboard is different so it's slowing me down to find the shift key!

yesterday consisted of a lot of driving.  we got up, packed a smaller suitcase for the few days we'll be in tamale and boarded the bus.  after a quick stop at the accra mall to get a cooler to keep our drinks nice and cold, we began our journey to tamale.  it was a long, quiet ride.  there really isn't too much to tell.  it took us about 6.5 hours to get to kumasi where we stayed the night.  my good friend Abigail's father offered to host us at his home there once again.  And yet again he prepared a feast for us!  after a huge meal, we had a quick debriefing and then headed to bed, preparing for an early morning.  we were up around 3:30am and on the road by 4.  we didn't actually make it to tamale until about 11am.  it took much longer than we thought it would.  along the way we could see the changes in landscape.  we're much closer to the Sahara desert here so there's not quite as much vegetation and it's much hotter.

tonight we're running a program at king's christian ministry.  it's starts at 6pm tonight and is scheduled to run until 9pm.  in case i don't have internet again for a while here's the schedule for the rest of the weekend/week -
program tonight from 6-9pm

please pray for the Lord to use us in mighty ways while we are here.  pray for peace and protection for our group as we step into new areas we've never experienced before.

praise the Lord for safe travels thus far.  the roads here can be very dangerous - we saw a huge truck flipped over on the road to tamale today.
