Farewell Ghana for now...

As our time in Ghana comes to a close we want to take a few minutes to say good-bye to all of the wonderful people that we have met here over the last three months. The show of love and hospitality that was extended to us was exceptional and we are forever grateful! We leave this beautiful country with mixed feelings about anxiously looking forward to returning home to friends and family and at the same time leaving behind new friends who have become just like family. To Papa Nyarko and Momma Beatrice and the Christ Church Family and everyone from Akropong to Accra to Kumasi to the Central Region of Ghana who opened up your homes and hearts to us--we say Thank You! We thank you for all of the stories that you shared, the songs you sung, the hugs, the cultural enlightenment, the sermons, the friendships, the conversations, the delicious food and your kindhearted spirits. We look forward to returning one day in the future but right now we pray that God blesses you abundantly and forever more. To our friends and family in the US, we thank you for sharing this journey with us through our blog. Since we left NJ in May, we have had over 1,500 views to this blogsite and we hope that each of you have been touched in some way through the pictures, videos, and stories that we posted. Also, thank you once again Princeton Theological Seminary and the Field Education Office for providing this precious opportunity. Our flight leaves tonight, so we are going to go finish packing and will try to post some more pictures and final comments as soon as we get a chance. We look forward to seeing you all in person when we return. Peace and Blessings, Lisa and Laci
