Well, it's hard to believe, but we have been in Ghana for one month now. That also means we've gone for a month or more without some things that we were accustomed to having frequently. So we celebrated today with a greatly-anticipated American meal. The picture looks like your typical hamburger meal, but it didn't come easy.
Watermelon, onion -- from the local market
Diet Coke, ketchup, mayonnaise, french fries -- from Tamale (2+ hours away)
Hamburger meat and mustard -- from Accra (10+ hours away)
Hamburger buns -- homemade from local ingredients 2 days ahead and frozen.
Needless to say, we won't be doing this frequently, but we REALLY enjoyed it.
One of the lessons God is teaching us is that we take for granted so many things. We are also learning that you CAN live without a lot of things that you think you cannot.
Lord, help us to be thankful for EVERY thing because we know that EVERY thing comes from you. Also, help us to continue to die to self so that as we decrease, YOU will increase in our lives daily.
