From Alex


Blog by Alex Mortensen:
We are going strong heading on day four in Ghana. Today the group split up. Half of the group went and did a medical mission and construction. Personally I went to Frankadua to see the beautiful girls that live there. It was my favorite day so far, filled with dancing and joy. As we began to really interact with the outgoing girls, we had a huge dance party. Using my loud voice, I sang as loud as I could, leading the girls in several goofy dances and songs. The Frankadua girls laughed and giggled, hopefully out of enjoyment (but I’m pretty sure it was at me, the girl that lacks any rhythm trying to dance and sing: I’m use to it) It was a completely blast as the room boomed with a bunch of teenage girls having a blast. We split into groups to make bracelets that told of God’s love for them and the princesses they are. It was nice just getting to know such unique girls. It was a very special day to say the least. Excited for the next couple days that we will spend in the bush. Last year those were my favorite memories playing with the children and I’m ready to make some more! Thank you to all those prayer warriors out there. You are more powerful than ever in our lives! Shout out to my family!! Missing you so much mom and dad! JJ and Will, wish you were here with me. It’s not the same without you. Trevor, I miss you like crazy! Ill be home soon:) Grandmother and Granddad, the bibles are being used by God everyday; I’m so thankful! Thanks to everyone! See you soon America!
