"But I would ask whether God demands of us anythig but that we should love and know him since we are naturally capable of love and knowledge. There is no doubt that we know at least we exist and love something." -Blaise Pascal
I'm really sorry that I'm not emailing you guys individually yet. I only have about ten minutes left on the computer. Things are...a little crazy. There's no way to describe it. Really. But I really want to to encourage anyone who is thinking of visiting. I wish that someone from home could experience this as well. Each day is different but for the last few I've been staying in a small village in the Volta region (sort of southeast). They call this portion "vision quest" where you travel (first time to travel in africa by myself) to a site where there's already a pre-existing peace corps volunteer. It's been a lot of fun and everyone in the village is extremely friendly and to my surprise there's also an amazing sky over Ghana as well. On Wednesday we go to Techiman for the start of training. Everything to this point has been a crash course. Pretty much you're kind of thrown into things and you figure it out as you go, which really is working great. The food is taking some adjusting to. They have a "I crapped my pants in Ghana" club and they say that everyone joins it usually in the first year of their service. Haven't joined that one yet but I wouldn't put it past me:) It really has been amazing so far, hopefully I will get a phone soon and I can call for my personal updates.. I appreciate your prayers so much. I miss you all.
Until next time,
Brenna
