Beautiful Day in Ghana

Just a short update,
Today was awesome. We started off going to the market around 7 am which was a little bit too early but we bought two huge sacks of corn, a sack of beans, baby formula, tomato paste, and a lot more stuff but we still aren't done. That might soundd like a lot but when you have 200 + kids to feed I am sure it goes pretty quickly.

After we left the market it was aabout 11 am (Yes it takes that long when there are thousands of people crowding the streets and yelling) and we returned home for lunch and sped off to the wedding we were invited to. The wedding was a lot of fun and we were given VIP treatment which was very kind of them. After the wedding we returned to the market for a few more things because our car was full the first time and then we dropped it off at home and left for the reception. We all enoyed ourselves and met many people that have offered to help us in the future if we intend to return to Ghana.

We hope everyone at home is doing incredibly we are all thinking of you and we love being in Ghana. We came here with the intent to help as many people as possible but have far exceeded even the most optimistic expectations of this trip. Thanks again to everyone who has helped.

Sincerely,
Michael, Janie, Matt, and Genna
