Quick update just to let everyone know we're feeling great and are okay!
I (Sarah - or, the better half of the marriage as Jim calls me ;) ) was back at the KSO last night, to travel back to the Eastern region today, and Jordan made it all the way to our site last night! He had a long trip, traveling from Kofuridua in the Eastern region, all the way to Tarsor (40km south of Tumu if you want to look it up on a map). We had one of those, wow, the world is a small place moments yesterday. I was traveling from Wa to Kumasi and leaving at noon. Jordan was traveling from Kumasi to Wa and leaving at noon. There is one road from Wa to Kumasi. When I was three hours in, our tro stopped for a lunch break for 10 minutes, and when we got back in, I called Jordan to see where they were, and two minutes into our conversation, I was staring out the window, and there's Jordan at another roadside stop, talking on the phone to me! It was so funny! We had to explain to everyone else in the tro that that was my husband along the road! We're hoping to meet up when I am at site in a week, since he'll be doing his off-site PEPFAR (President's Emergency Plan for Aids Relief) activities with another volunteer in the Upper West who is located not too far from our site. We're the only couple that has to be split up for this long, but I think we'll be okay since they keep us so busy and we're with other volunteers the majority of the time.
Fun thought for the day that we were talking about the other week: all of the things Jordan and I have been talking about wanting for awhile, we will be able to get in Ghana. Our first house, our first garden, our first chickens (I'm still working on convincing Jordan on this... :) potentially our first pet, it's crazy!
Anywho - lots of people want to use the computer at the sub-office here, so I'm going to head out - I'll try to update soon! We're really enjoying ourselves here - thanks for the updates from home!
Love Sarah and Jordan
Come on Jordan...it is totally acceptable for Sarah to have her own chickens! Think of all the omelets you guys could make :)
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny about how you guys ran into each other with the phone thing!
