The First Letter Home

Good early morning to you all!

I arrived in Ghana early this morning, 8 am here and 2 am for you lame American folk :P
I left Denver on afternoon and flew to Salt lake. From there I was supposed to go to Amsterdam, but missed my flight to Amsterdam because we still had not landed. So as soon as I got off the plane, got my stuff rescheduled. Went and stayed with my aunt and uncle for the night and went back to the airport at 5:30 am to catch a flight to New York. It was long and I was squished -_- Once I landed I went to the shuttle to go to the assigned gate for my flight to Ghana. We boarded at 4 but did not leave until 6.

Luckily for the flight I had the exit row which gave me a lot of leg room, and I was an aisle seat. Only bad thing, I was right next to the bathroom. I fell asleep after taking Nyquil for the last few hours of the flight. Once we landed I had to go through immigration which went smoothly. Then waited 20 years for my dumb bag. As I was warned, all the workers wanted to help with my stuff so they can get a tip. Once outside, I found the MTC guy that was picking me up. Lets just say, if you know my crazy driving, multiply that by 10 for the drivers here.

Anyways, it is really humid. But it isn't affecting me much. Only 11 days to get through in the MTC, then off on the 4 hour drive to Cape coast.  I miss you all and America, but I know I'm out here for a purpose, and that I will learn and grow tons!

Until next week,

Elder Johnson
