found the far side!!

Greetings from Kasoa, Ghana, Africa! Bob & I are safe and healthy! We have been on adventures beyond our wildest imaginations. Today we are tourists going to visit the ocean. Last night we were guests at Gomoa Mprumuem - a trek through the bush in the darkest of nights amongst the tallest corn fields lit only by fire flies. The crusade brought villagers in their finest clothing to hear what the white man had to say. We have visited the Cape Coast Castle where the slaves suffered their fates. We have visited a school where we shared PE equipment and allowed children to demonstrate- juggling is now a new favorite! We have experienced the market with fish, goats, snake and pig hooves for sale. We have attended a Thanksgiving service in open air church where the dancing conveyed their joy for our Lord. We have been honored as King and Queen of Gomoa Ohua where Bob is now Development Chief in hopes to bring medical, education and technology assistance. We have received gifts from the various village chiefs such as sandals, Kente cloth robes and beautiful necklaces. Bob has been invited to speak (preach) to each locaction we have traveled- from the remotest of villages (each 1-2 hrs from our hotel) to the churches to the revivals to the crusades. God has truly been watching over us as we take the food, the local transport and the full agenda. Everyone here loves looking at my family picture I brought to show-they ask about America and Boise and Nicholas, Courtney & Amanda. (Since your father is now royalty, you are next in line for the responsibility if you so choose!) We have appreciated the Lord's blessings in everyway- from our fried eggs & tea at breakfast to our chicken and fried rice each dinner and lunch. The mosquitos have taken their threat seriously and not disturbed us! We are looking forward to the 3 day leadership conference to begin on Thursday with a victory praise worship service following the next day. We are being well cared after and cannot thank all of you enough for your prayers for our safety and good health. My personal journal is now a book & we are so excited to share with you how God has brought us to this land and worked in miraculous ways. The Kasoan natives are friendly and very intrugued by us so we wave and say hello and smile and embark in dialogue whenever possible. Our hotel server does not want us to leave. One day, we hope that many of you will choose to share your gifts with these people. Oh! And baby Cori and Morgan Jr. are precious. Also, we have adopted a Gamoa Ohua girl to help support her future. With God's continued grace we will do his work here. We love you and will be together with you soon. Until the near side becomes far~Bob & Cori
