HERE!!

I AM HERE!!! SAFE! Tema is wonderful and it is so beautiful here! I know I'm going to love it. The people are so nice here and the village is beautiful. I have not seen my school yet, but I hope soon!
I love you all!

Detroit!

I have safely made it to the Detroit airport! Now I am enjoying my 5 hour lay over!!!! It hasn't been that bad. My flight from Grand Rapids was great. I sat next to a very nice man who gushed about his kids and his family. He is from Utah and was going back home. He told me his wife is a special education teacher, and he can tell that I am going to be a great teacher because I have ambition. It was very nice to hear that from a stranger. He also wished me luck and told me to "keep the Faith". I love meeting nice Christian people :) It makes my inside happy :):)
During my layover, I have been working on applications for schools in Michigan, though I know it will not be likely that I get them. It doesn't hurt to apply though.
Well, the next post I'll be sending out will be from GHANA!!!!
Love and God bless you all :):)

My placement :)

I just received an e-mail about my placement in Ghana!!!!.... Drum roll please........
I'll be taching with Mrs. Yvonne Nyarko-Mensah, in English & Speech, at the SOS-Hermann Gmeiner International College. My students will be years 10 – 13, so not quite high school age according to our standards in the U.S. I'm getting so excited!!!!

In 7 days... I repeat... 1 week from today, I will be getting on a plane and flying to AFRICA!!!!!!!!

God bless you all :):)

8 days!!!!

Wow... I really cannot believe that my trip is only 8 days away!! I had a family get together on Sunday, which was great. Everyone was there, minus Victoria and Matt, but that's ok. I get to see them soon enough:) I am having a going away party in Mount Pleasant on the 25th and a Girl's only night on the 23rd to hang out with some friends before I go. I am getting so pumped, but I admit, I will really miss my students in Rockford. They are so wonderful. I will keep you posted throughout the week... seeing as a lot will be happening!!!

Thank you to everyone who has sent encouraging e-mails! I have really appreciated the words, and blessings.

God bless you all :)
