A couple steps closer...

I'm not quite sure where to begin because the past few days have been a whirlwind of details falling into place.

Taylor and I have received our visas so that we can legally enter the country! It seems so official seeing it stamped in our passports.

We still have $500 dollars left to raise before we officially end our fundraising. In this second round, I have been completely humbled by everyone who has given. The generosity of Taylor's and my friends have left me floored because many of them are in college where there isn't much wiggle room when it comes to finances. Everytime I see a donation, Taylor and I are reminded that God is going to get us to Ghana, no if's or but's about it!

I have saved the best news for last! Tomorrow, we will be the proud owners of our first 5 computers for Ghana!!! Due to a special deal, we have to purchase the computers 5 at a time over the span of 6 days. While this is a minor challenge, I can't believe we are a step closer to actually getting this project on its feet!

Our next big challenge will be getting through customs without paying a penny more for the computers. While I am praying for a gracious official who will simply wave us on through with a wish for good luck, I am secretly preparing myself for what could be a lengthy battle with the customs official. As with everything for this trip, it is in God's hands.

Count down to Ghana: 41 days and counting!
