You are invited to follow Sam and I on our African adventure.
I will be attending the University of Ghana for the 2011 fall semester. Sam and I will live in Legon, Ghana, in west Africa from July to December.
While there I will be learning about African history from the actual country. After all, no one can tell your story like you can, eh?
I will be taking African history to 1500, Ghana history to 1800, the Black Disapora and a course in archealogy.
Sam will be studying local activities, teaching the locals his "Pool Shooting Skills", "How to be a Playa" and "Trash Talking" courses and making a name for himself in Africa to add to his famous US name: Chip (Harley Davidson) and Jamaican name: English (pool shooting).
We expect to gather more information for our "tell all" book (or should I say: "books") which we will write when we finally retire.
You are invited to follow us on this amazing journey. There will be vidoes, tons of pictures, and even audios.
I will be working with the Latter Day Saints' Ghana genealogy project. (Forever the genealogist.) This will put me smack dab in the middle of Africa's people history. Will I be in hog's heaven or what??
Of course we expect to do a lot of traveling; but in a completly foreign country??? Hmmmmm. But, you know, God is so good to us. Our landlords have a tour guide business. How cool is that?????
ROADTRIPS!!!!!!! So come back often to see what we have been up to.
Next I will post the pictures I received of our African apartment. We have a "housing couselor" and guess what??? She is from Newnan!!! She has been a terrific help and I must big her up. Thanks Theresa!
We are excited about this new adventure and invite you to experience it with us through this blog.
Please keep us in your prayers and we will do likewise.
You take care of you for us, and we will take care of us for you. Until such time, mon.
This is where we will live in Legon. Ghana.
Hello everyone,
Well, two more sleeps before we leave. I held up until today and the tears flowed this morning in church. We are going to truly miss our Coummunity Christian friends. We know you will be praying for us and we for you.
Love you guys!!
