Merry Christmas!

 

 

 

 from the Taconet family

 

"And she shall bring forth a Son, and thou shalt call

his name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins.

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken

of the Lord by the prophet, saying.

Behold a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they

shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is,

God with us." Matthew 1: 21-23

 

 

 

      Leah and I have returned from our Ghana mission and are so thankful to be home with our family and friends again! We were unable to do any posting the last several weeks we were over there so I will attempt to catch everyone up over the next week or two. We were so grateful for the opportunity to visit the Mole National Wildlife Park which was about a four-and-a-half hour trip over extremely rough roads, but very well worth it!

 

The Northern region of Ghana is primarily Muslim in religion

 

 

 

We passed several traditional African villages

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The roads were unbelievably rough,

but they told us that they were better than the last time!

 

 

Finally There!

 

 

 

Antelope

 

 

 

A Bush Buck

 

Nile Crocodile

 

And the past part- 

Standing forty feet from a wild African Elephant!

 

Warthogs

 

Returning to our hotel we found these guys

enjoying the shade- under our van!

 

"And God saw everything that He had made,

and behold, it was very good."
