Safe, sound and sleeping well

Hey everyone,

As you have may surmised I did finally make it out of Washington DC Monday night. We took off on time (with all my baggage I might add), and made our way to Ghana hit it early then back in the air on our way to Jo’burg. I don’t know why it is that I can’t seem to remember the whole flying process and customs but its starting to cramp my style that I can’t. I walk around the airport squinting at signs hoping that it will make me understand them.. The long and short of it is that I always panic when there is nothing to panic about, although I almost got stuck in South Africa over a receipt…

I’m here now and I have my zim phone is set up just fine I have contacted a few of you with the whatsapp app.. a life saver, now I just have to remember the hour difference. Working on the internet there are lots of steps to get it setup but its all in the working. I have been working on the room I’m renting from the brother, it is 1000 times better then when I got here. Cleaned , painted and added a few things and I’m sleeping in my own tiny pad. They even added a real toilet! There are a few kinks to work out, I’m wrestling with the mosquito net and the new door handle likes to lock me indoors…good thing I can fir in the window. ;)

Already been walking around the area to gain my bearings store is a nice distance and the kingdom hall is as well. I can get to most service groups within a half hour to 45 minutes.

Alright you all know I am here safe and sound. I should be able to gain access internet easier this trip so at least once a week you should have an update, if there is anything worth talking about. Service is almost always fruitful and in two days I have gotten over 5 return visits. The country is heading towards another crash so people are waiting to hear good news.

Here are the photos of the room all done, minus the stove a sister just lent me and a refrigerator is on its way possible as well. A great shout out to Tony and Tracy for the boxes of items the rug makes this place much more homey and the baskets for the daily commute to the bathroom are life savers. Haha And my washing center which is outside..And my guard dog named Tina.. her brothers and I don’t get along but shes sweet.

Alright friends I’ve been busy and wanted you to know all is well. Sorry for the delay.

Ta

Katie
