Hey Everyone,
I have not blogged for a while because we have been very busy.
We are currently in Mobline, Illinois. Last night we were in North Platte, Nebraska.
Tomorrow we will be heading home!!!
I am very glad about that. The past two weeks we have been staying
in Salt Lake City, Utah. We did a lot of things there. The first day we went
to a teen activity. A little while later we went to the biggest copper mine
in the world just out side of Salt Lake City. And finally we went to
the SLC zoo. That was pretty cool. A monkey took one look at me and threw up!
Anyway
Have A Good Day,

Hey Everyone,
I have not posted in a while because we have been without internet for the passed two weeks.
We are currently in Northen Idaho. Next week we will bw traveling to Utah. Needless to say we have been traveling a lot.
We are staying with a pastor. While we are here we have been helping roofing
his house. It has been hard work especially in mid-afternoon when it gets really hot.
We are about half done now. It is really nice here the other day we went quading in the
mountains. It is very different then a big city the closest Wal-Mart in over an hour away.
Today we went to cour 'de lane to get more supplies for the roof. Any Way Have to go.
Have A Good Day,

deer and one caribou they said it is pretty rare to see a caribou.
We just got back from a hike. It took three hours but we also stopped later.

Hey Everyone,
Right now we are in Coto Nou Benin at an internet cafe we got
here two days ago. It was an 8 hour trip from Accra Ghana.
Even though we are only two countries away from Ghana it is
much different. The poverty is much worse and the language is French.
It is very different. Yesterday at church they gave us really nice wood carvings as gifts for being there.
On Wednesday we are going to Lome, Togo and then after that back to Ghana for "3 days.
Have A Good Day,

Hey Everyone,
We arrived in Accra, Ghana last night at 8:oo P.M. there time. The plane rides were good
although they were very long. As soon as we got off the plane we started to sweat. It was 90 degrees Fahrenheit and very humid. It is very different here as soon as they see you they swarm around you and try to sell you stuff. They charge you more because you are white.
Like today Cody bought a braclet with his name on it. At first they tried to get him to pay 10 cedis which is about 7 dollars American but he got them down to 2 cedis after he bought it Brother Arnold said he stilled paid too much for it. It is actually pretty nice out now because there is a little wind around here. This afternoon we might go and check the ocean out.
When you are walking cabs honk trying to get you to come in there ca they are everywhere.
As soon as you walk outg of a buildin people try to hail cabs down for you so you give them money they are very friendly about it thuoght. Today the came up to me and tried to give me a Ghana braclet for "free" Brother Arnold told me not to taake any thing that they say is free
because then they will try and make you fell obliged to give them money that is what happened to Cody.
Have A Good Day

Hey Everyone,
Today for the first time in my life I went on a plane ride today.
Pastor Bohman is a pilot and took us up in his 5 passenger seat
plane. I loved it everything about it was fun. We were only at 2,000
feet which is not that high but it was still fun. I thought it would hurt my
ears but it did not. He sometimes did a roller coaster he would shoot
the plane straight in the air and suddenly go straight down it was awesome.
Well I Have To Go,

It was so warm yesterday it was about 65 degrees Faherenheit. We were in t-shirts.
All the snow is gone. There were a lot of people walking along the pier as well.
We had a good time. Well I have to go and finish my school work.

Hey Everyone,I have not blogged in a while because nothing really has happened.Well actually they are renovating the bathrooms here at the church.It is really noisy all day and it is hard to concentrate on school work.By the way Canada won the hockey game last night. I was kind Of disappointed though. We were watching the game and we thought it was over but then the U.S.A. scored with 24 seconds left and then we left for church. When we got to church we heard that Sidney Crosby had scored the game-winning goal! I was excited. I was also glad that for the first time in history Canada beat the U.S.A. in gold Medals. Even my Mom who is not a hockey fan was kind of watching this game.Well I Have To Go,Brendin

Hey Everyone,
Yesterday in Ontario we had Family Day or in the States Presidents Day.
For Family Day we went ice skating with the Harris family. I only skated
for about 45 minutes. It was free skating so the ice rink was packed even though we
went pretty early in the morning. After ice skating we went back to the church
and had pizza ad bread sticks. After the Harris family left we played
Mario Cart on the Wii with Pastor Eagles.
Have A Good Day,

for about an hour. Then I really did nothing much until wrote this blog.

Hey Everyone,
I have not blogged in a while because nothing is really new. The only
thing is that we went to Missions Baptist Church in Brownsville, Ontario
on Sunday. It was nice going to a church and being able to be there all day.
On previous Sundays we have been in different churches on the same Sunday.
It was nice because some Sundays we are rushing around cleaning up the
display board and the DVD presentation. Then we would have a quick lunch
and be driving off to another church.
Well Have A Good Day

everyone in each family a new pair of shoes. Well I have to go now we are going to lunch
