TR has a phone!!

I am so excited as TR got the phone working so we were able to chat a few minutes...

The boys are having a wonderful time. I could hear Kman and Kwame talking in the background and I got to speak to them for a moment. I spoke to Kman first and it was so cute to her him say, "Kwame, do you want to talk to mommy?" He said "Yes" and got on and said, "Hello Mommy!!" as if he had been in our family forever. He was so sweet and sounded so relaxed yet excited.

I simply asked TR how Kwame is and if he seems to fit right in and he said, "Oh yes, without a doubt". I did not ask more as I know we will get to chat more and I will get to hear all the details when they get home and we are alone but it is so comforting to hear that TR is doing well and having fun with his boys!

Here is where they are currently staying, I stayed here with Selina last year. The room has a little air conditioner in it that was like heaven after a long day with no air or after a few hours in Ghana traffic!!



Today he was so excited to have been able to make a donation at a local orphanage. His driver helped him secure a truck and the filled it up with different food items, donations he had brought with him and a water tank as he was told they needed one to have access to water.

He said they really did not have much. Prior to him arriving, it was reported that the 26 kids there ages six and up share three toys, two dolls and a ball. Kman and Kwame gave them all soccer jerseys and brought four good new balls for them to play with. Additionally TR learned that they did not have electricity there and the cost to get it really was not much so TR paid for that.

TR was so excited to have been able to help and said that the people he met at this orphanage, CKO, were very polite, thankful and faithful in their love and belief in God. He felt blessed to have been able to help them and wanted me to pass on to all of those that donated, that he is so thankful as he felt he was able to make a significant difference because of your generosity. He sounded so happy on the phone as he told me about his experience, he was so so excited.

We only spoke a few minutes as he wanted to call all our contacts and plan his trip to the coast in the next few days... He is also taking the boys to the Catholic Church where my great uncle was a priest for many years. It is nice as the church is nearby so it is an easy trip to make. He will ask for the priest to say a prayer over Kwame as I did for Selina before I brought her home last year. You can my experience at the church here.


I also want to update you on Kwame's friend "J" who has been with Kwame as they waited together for their passports. I told you about them here. Well, J got his visa the same day as Kwame and his dad is leaving for Ghana in two days! TR and J's dad will be together in Ghana for two days and the boys will be able to hang out with their dads and Kman! Here is a pic of J, his dad, and Kwame.


Aren't our boys so handsome?!! How fabulous is that to know the boys are going home at the same time! Thank you God for that!


Thank you for checking in and again for your prayers and donations! I will post more when I hear more!
