Home Sweet Winona

Arrived on schedule into Jackson met by large group of friends and family. First meal in Mississippi -- McDonald's! Natalie got her ears pierced as a late birthday gift. Now back safely in Winona. All our luggage arrived undamaged. Enjoying cool temperatures. Arrived to a beautifully manicured and mulched yard, spotlessly cleaned house, refrigerator and counter full of food, sidewalk and driveway decorated with chalk greetings, yard full of friends welcoming and porch and doors filled with welcome home signs. We love our friends and family! Our departure from Ghana was bitter sweet. We already miss our new friends and family. Thankfully with technology you never really have to say goodbye (quote from Jane Ann Gibbs!) Father, thank you for allowing us to travel safely back to Winona. Thank you for our friends and family throughout the world who are your hands and feet. Following . . . .
