It’s official. I am in the sticks. In the woods. With all the bugs and animals to dwell with me in my living space. And then when I heard that we are an hour away from my worksite for the next 4 days, I almost lost it. Well, I haven’t had a temper tantrum in quite some time so I suppose today was the day to have it. I woke up this morning in that great, big, home I’ve been staying in and had a great breakfast with Angie. We went to the school to say our goodbye’s to Mr. Yamoah and he then sent his driver to pick us up to take us to the bus station…or bus stop. Well, the bus station here is a little unconventional. A bunch of people everywhere trying to get you to ride their bus and carry your bags. It can be overwhelming. Angie and I waited for the bus that she was used to riding called, “VIP.” We got on that bus and set off to Bunso. The ride took about 3 hours. I slept a good part of it. There was a preacher on the bus preaching to everyone the entire time, but it was in a language I couldn’t understand so I just put my headphones on and slept. At one point the craziest thing happened. I was praying and in my prayer I asked God to allow me to see myself the way He sees me even if only for a moment. I’m not sure what made me pray that but within minutes, out pops the biggest most beautiful rainbow I have ever seen. Angie and I just sat in awe. She even agreed that she’d never seen anything like it. It was so big and every single color was so vibrant. I thought to myself, “wow. Was that the answer to my prayer?” I tried to take a picture of it, but I just kept staring at it. You wouldn’t even believe me if I told you…it was huge and big and bright. Anyway, I love how God just manifests things in the most unsuspecting of ways.
Well we arrived in Bunso and Reggie was there to pick me up. Angie would stay on the bus and head to Accra. )-: We got so close. I was sad to see her go. I got in the car with Reggie and headed to the guest house. It was right in the middle of the woods. lol. It seemed so far from civilization. When we got in to see the rooms, it was very different than where I was used to staying. Very quiet. Very woodsy. (is that a word) The accommodations were decent and the bathrooms…well, I wasn’t really feeling the,m too much. I was tired but didn’t mind heading to a night service the church was having where I would be for the next day. But Reggie said it was about an hour away. I couldn’t understand why I was an hour away from my worksite. Here comes temper tantrum number 1 for the week. After going back and forth for a little while, we decided to stay there for the night and then head to Koforidua in the morning and stay there. I had a little rice, spent some time journaling and reading and watched a movie on my laptop before I decided to turn in for the night. Still no internet.
