Reporting tonight is Emily Roth aka Emelia Tin Tin (Tall)
Greetings from Ghana!!
Today was the youth conference. Apporximately 62 youth from Adonten Secondary School, a boarding school in Aburi, joined us at the youth center for a cross cultural discussion on integrity and youth ministry. The conference was a great success. We talked about American youth culture and both the differences and similarities to Ghanaian youth culture.
After some of the adults were finished working on the construction, and the youth conference was over, we travelled back to the lodge to get ready to head back to the center to watch the Ghana vs. USA game with our Ghanaian friends. By the grace of God, Ghana has won! The celebration at the youth center was amazing! I haven't seen people so happy and jubilant in a very long time. The ride back was also exciting because the whole town of Aburi was dancing in the streets. It was very difficult getting through town by car. It felt so good to celebrate as though we are all Ghanaians.
Pictures will come tomorrow after we rest after such an exciting day!

How exciting that you could be there during the World Cup! I watched the game and thought of all of you, knowing that you were rooting for Ghana. World Cup fever is present in the US. It must be much more powerful in Ghana. We'll pray for you this morning in worship.

Hello to you all,
It is great to read about the work you all are doing there and the bonding taking place with the local community. (I am Robert Schultze's prayer partner) I continue to pray for all of you using the prayer journal as a guide. Very exciting about the World Cup!
