Greetings from Ethiopia!

After two days of traveling I finally made it to my destination! This is blog attempt number 2. We couldn't get the website to load last night, but we'll give it a shot.
Making it here was quite the adventure and a learning experience, such as... They wouldn't let me on the plane to Ghana in Atlanta because I didn't have a Visa. I explained that I was just passing through on my way to Ethiopia. They then let me on. When I arrived in Accra, Ghana one of my bags was lost. It was the one with all my socks too. So right now I only have two socks to my name. One ankle and one crew if anyone was curious. I received an email yesterday that my bag had arrived in Ghana and is there now. So tomorrow we are going to ride a elephant to go pick it up. Just kidding. The missionary guest house I was offered to stay in for the night was full so I had to fend for myself there (Sorry I didn't tell you mom, I didn't want you to worry more). I was given the name of a safe hotel so had to figure out how to get Ghanian currency, get a cab, etc. Luckily the Ghanian people are very helpful, but they want to be compensated for it. I was prepared for this though and could play 'dumb American' if the request was ridiculous, such as wanting money for watching me pick up my bag off the baggage claim. Yep. Anyways I made it to the hotel and got a room. This night was a little tough for me. It was impossible to ignore the feeling of loneliness. It was tough with no cell phone, no internet, and knowing your closest family and friends are over 7,000 miles away. It was definitely good for me though. This is definitely teaching me to rely on God more than my family, friends, or any other comfort I have at home. I woke up (after a couple hours of sleep) in good spirits though. My daily devotional (My Utmost for His Highest) was very uplifting. It was Psalm 25:14;
