So, I'll have to try and catch up on the rest of day one and give a quick rundown of day two.
We made it through the flight from Atlanta to Accra fairly uneventfully. Everyone cleared the health check except for Chad, who was two months expired from his yellow fever vaccine. They gave him the shot at the airport. The next stop was passport verification and this fantastic sign advising sexual predators to go "elsewhere". Thankfully all the supplies made it through customs with just one small gift of a bandage for one of the agent's mother-in-law.
After that point, there was lots of standing around and waiting-for the next flight, then for the flight after that. After a very wild and crazy ride to the mission house, we prepped the bags for each medical team and went to bed.
Day 2 was awesome! Stella (Joseph's wife) and her team made breakfast we ate And were out the door by 8 o'clock. We stopped to merry the "mayor" of the district and the chief of the area our villages were in. We were welcomed warmly, and everyone seemed glad to have us here.
After that we dispersed to our villages. We had the assistance of a midwife and a student. We treated wounds, assessed patients and made doctor referrals. We played with the children, and one lady asked me if I would help her run her daycare.
The evening services went well, there were several who accepted Christ, and we arrived back at the mission house around 10:30.
