It has been awhile. Things have been going well. As of yesterday I am officially moved into Osu Children's Home. It was a weird feeling yesterday morning when I had to pack up all of my things but not go home. I am happy I am staying here for another month but part of me just misses home so much.
On Sunday I went to three football matches. Cantonments (a football club here) was playing their rival team. I can't remember if I told you guys that my friend is the co-manager of Cantonments and so I have ended up going to most of the matches. Five minutes before the under 12 match began it started to pour rain but they continued to play anyway. The under 12's won 6-0. During that match I ran home and grabbed my sweatshirt (yes my sweatshirt, I was so happy) and by the time I was back the under 14's were about to start. The under 14's won 2-0 and then finally the under 17's won their match 2-1. I sat out in the pouring rain all day cheering on these amazing players and had the best time. Days like Sunday make me want to stay here for a lot longer. Professional football is cool but it is nothing compared to these kids. Professional players are supposed to be good but kids this young are not always expected to be this talented.
Now back to moving into the orphanage. I was really lonely yesterday when I first moved my things in but by the end of the day I was feeling better. Waking up this morning with the kids already there was a great feeling and I love being at the orphanage 24/7. I will tell you more about moving in later but I just can't think right now. Hope all is well. I would really appreciate e-mails for the next month because I think this could be my hardest month here in Ghana.
