March 14: Please pray for our family especially during these next two weeks. Josh took a 13hr-bus ride early this morning to Accra and will fly to Sierra Leone in the morning (for 10 days). He's going to meet partners and scope out our living situation for later this year. Elijah and I are staying back in Ghana and already miss him terribly. Please pray for protection, good health, and comfort during this important time for us.
Day 42/90: Last week our orientation shifted from a classroom setting led by a Ghanaian man and Polish Father to seminars held in LBT missionaries' homes. The seminars are focused on practical living skills and dealing with issues common in the life of a missionary. Some of the many topics include:
- cooking & meal planning
- medical care
- shopping in local markets
- how to work with househelp
- dealing with corruption/bribery
- working with national partners
- spiritual warfare
- dealing with stressors
- crisis management
- driving
- African Friends and Money Matters (read this and you'll know better how to pray for us!)
- and much more!
March 24: Josh is still in Sierra Leone until Tuesday (March 26). Right now he's actually in Makeni - where we hope to live! He's been able to meet the translation team there and even check out some housing options. He's been sharing some pictures with me via dropbox, but I don't know what they're of yet, so stay tuned... This is all very exciting for us, if you can't tell.
Thanks for your ongoing prayer support, team!
Ruthie and Joshua Wagner
