Hello again!

So first of all, yay for fans. Anne and I found another Internet Cafe with fans and I'm at about the coolest I've been, but like I said, we're definitely getting used to the heat. So last night when we got home, Lawrence and Nicolas (a friend) brought us our stove. Which consists of a gas tank and a range top. Grrreat. Haha, but seriously we're really excited, especially after last night. We also got a tea boiler to boil water, which is awesome, and knives (so that we can have fruit! yay!). We had planned on going out for dinner but by the time we were going to head out, it was DARK, and after about three steps out of our door we turned around and decided to attempt cooking. We boiled water in the water boiler and poured it out about three times to make sure it was clean/sanitary enough to use and then made Ramen. We were so proud of our first African cooking experience. Plus, now that we can boil water, we don't have to worry about having enough bottled water to brush our teeth. We don't trust it quite enough to drink it, but who knows how adventurous we'll be by the end of the month. But after eating, we just chilled and talked, enjoying the fan in our living room, which is probably the best (and coolest) room in our flat. Then, while Anne was on the phone with her mom, explaining how safe we felt, the power went out. Again. Luckily it came back on after about 20 minutes, and we were totally fine but it just reminded us that we are, in fact... in Ghana. We were exhausted from the heat and walking around, so we passed out around 11pm, another great night of sleep, even though apparently I kept getting really startled (according to Anne) whenever she'd move.

We heard the rooster again this morning, and woke up around 7am to get to church. It was such an amazing experience, but I'll have to write about it later because I'm running out of time! Love you all!!
