wendyann So glad to hear it's going well and you're enjoying the experience. G God bless!

Bithiah wow, sounds like a pretty intense experience, you're a lot braver than me, the thought of looking after babies, toddlers and dirty nappies strikes fear into my heart! Good luck with it all.. xxx

jenni locke Whoa Bee sounds like an experience !! I bet you want to bring the babies home .Your doin a great job xxx

wendyann Wow! talk about highs/lows and a bit of farce thrown in - You sound as though you're coping with everything that's been going on - God bless, wendyann x

wendyann A parent loves you unconditionally - they still don't expect to be taken for granted : say 'please' and 'thankyou' for things - ask them for help and advice, and they'll be there to pick up the pieces. To 'pray without ceasing' and to remember each other in prayer is to keep the lines of communication open, and is part of the way we show we care about each other. Hope you're still enjoying the experience and learning about what you are capable of in the circumstances you find yourself - it's a good time to grow and develop! God bless w x

Emma! Sounds like you're having an amazing time!! So jealous of the fresh mangoes and that, not so much the marriage proposals!! Keep safe bee, cannot wait to see you when you come home, lots of love from ez & all the family xxxx

Lydia Kemp Afua meaning? So glad you're having an amazing time. Man up about poo and homesickness!! We're all still here! And as Dad would tell you too, the only time that exists is 'now' so homesickness is a waste of feelings. I'd say you don't need to ask people to keep praying for you. You have all the strength inside yourself already you just need to realize it. Plus it sounds needy. And prayers don't keep you safe, you do! And if you believe God is loving and he loves you as a parent loves a child, you don't need to ask him to protect you, 'he'd' do it anyway. Loving and protecting your children is synonymous to good parenting! Anyway, that doesn't mean that you're not important to us. We love you very much and hope that you continue to seize every experience and enjoy and learn from your time away. Much love Big Sis and Evy xxxxxxx

wendyann Great to have a detailed update from you - I Goolged the Lake - it looks lovely. As for readings: little and often may be the way to go. Do what you can, when you can - and never forget to pray always. God bless

Mummy Kemp I'm sure you'll learn to dance the Ghanian way! And to feel more comfortable around over friendly strangers - the men probably don't all want to marry you, just interested in knowing why you are there and talking to you. If they do ask to marry you please remember that this is a common request to females in Ghana and maybe its not to be taken too seriously (but suggest you decline politely so you don't find yourself at your own wedding the next day...!) Email to follow, saw Leon today so got more advice for you. Keep drinking lots. xxxxxx

Wendyann How long will it take to get to Kumasi I wonder? - hope the journey is 'comfortable' and you have a great time there, God bless

Jimmy Do you have to eat with your right hand? That took me quite a few days to get used to in India. Glad you arrived safely =)

Max Have to say it sounds interesting! As a lefty Id constantly be offending people!!! Hope your having fun B!

wendyann Great to hear from you already! I understand a good way to remember which hand to use is to sit on your left one. Make sure you only accept a really good deal marriage wise - lots of camels and goats in the contract - there can't be many gingers in Accra! God bless x
