| 14th April 2009 Karen Schmidt | You were my Art student; Eisenhower Middle School - From: An Overnight Stay In the City of Lome! Jonathan, In 1982 I spent a summer in Burkino Faso and Cote D'Ivoire. My parents worked at a hospital at Djibo, Burkino Faso for almost 2 years. It was one of the more profound experiences of my adult life! The country of Burkino Faso was then called Upper Volta. The disruption of the overthrown gov. began while my parents were there. Oh how I envy you! Your mother told me about your adventure and gave me your blog address. I will look forward to reading your updates. I am enjoying your writing style! Your description of bumpy roads, broken down vehicles, waiting . . . and waiting, heat, coping with french and a culture foreign to me bring back memories. We made 3 trips to Abijan the summer I spent in Burkino Faso. I remember being excited about modern accomodations and water I could drink from the tap. I must get out my old slides. Enjoy, learn . . . be careful. Karen Schmidt (One of your teachers from EMS . . Art) |

| 12th April 2009 Lee Rivers | Hello - From: Escapades in the Ivory Coast Hey bro! Sounds like things are going really well. It's tough to believe that the semester is almost over. I must say it has been a real treat reading your entries.

Ya never know when you've get back to Ghana, live it up & be safe! Love ya-lee P.S.

| 12th March 2009 rac026 | 3 for 1, Ha! try 4 for 1!!! - From: A Closer Look at the University of Ghana Jonny!! So your 3 for 1 Blog special today reminded me of the evidentally very common 4 for 1 buisness suit sales in the centers of many of the mexican cities. They were so enticing. Why anyone would need 4 suits at the same time i have no idea, choices i suppose. But the deal alone almost got me, i just had to remind myself that i have no money to waste. That gets me through most stupid purchases. But yea so basically that's all i have i need to update soon, maybe after this next trip! I'm so glad to hear from you and to read that everything is going well. As you said sooner that we know it we'll be back in the states and this will all seem like a huge dream. But anyways Take Care and keep living your dream semester! Live life to the fullest, because then you don't have to worry about it being half full or half empty! ~Roberto |
| 12th March 2009 MoM | Great Pictures - From: A Closer Look at the University of Ghana How Cool! Good to see pictures of you! Blessings... love you much, MoM |

| 2nd March 2009 Jennifer | Sounds like an adventure - From: Adventures in the Volta Region I love reading your blogs! You really are quite the writer....grabbed a tro tro on the way to Hohoe! (I don't know how to pronouce Hohoe, but it sounded like it rhymes with Tro Tro!) Guess what you missed this morning? You are going to be SO upset......handing out parking permits to the RR Conf attendees in 20 degree weather! I know, you must be crying at this very moment. In all seriousness...we miss you. Have fun and keep up the great adventure telling. |
| 28th February 2009 Aunt Karen | Nephew - From: Gallery 2 Hi Jonathan, Love reading your stories and real life experiences.

Wish you well, please let me know if I can send you anything. Do you need something? Love you much and praying for you always. Love, KC |

| 3rd February 2009 Jennifer | We miss you! - From: Gallery 2 Hey Jonathan. I have been trying to get on here for weeks with no luck, but today I finally was able to view your pics and read your blog. Its so nice to be able to experience a bit of your trip with you. Looks like you are having a wonderful time! All those trips you made across campus taking deposits and making copies were just getting you ready for the campus at the University of Ghana. ;-) Isaiah and I are departing for Mexico March 16th for a short trip. We are both excited! Take care and we miss you lots. |
| 1st February 2009 Ma Abenaa | Excited for you! - From: Gallery 2 Hello Jonathan. This is Ma Abenaa Ghartey-Tagoe. I love your blogs! Keep up with the updates and pictures. You make things so vivid! As I read your blogs, the expression we always say comes to mind -- "Oh Ghana! You have to love it!" Your descriptions are so dead on that I was laughing so hard and missing the warmth and the quirks of the country and people. Have you had a chance to meet Kojo Prempeh yet? I am so happy that you are having this experience. I've always said your family is from Ghana and to know that you are there just warms my heart! We continue to lift you up in prayer. As we say in Twi, Nyame nhyira wo! Me de Nyame gya wo! Your homework from me is to translate the sentences from Twi into English. :) |
| 29th January 2009 Ashley Lovich | Wow! - From: Gallery 2 After seeing that photo gallery to go with your post about your hiking adventure and such, all I can say is WOW!!! That looks amazing! |
| 28th January 2009 Amanda M. | - From: Gallery 2 Jon, I'm so excited for you! It sounds like you're having an amazing time! I love the pics it looks amazing there. Have fun and just dive in :) |
| 28th January 2009 Lee | Photos - From: Gallery 2 Good stuff JGR! Make sure you have folks take pictures of you on your camera...yeah i know you might think that you are inconveniencing people, but you're not. Take it from an old pro, you WILL want heaps of photos, but even more, you will want photos of yourself. Upon return to the States you will want to share your stories + pics with everyone who will listen and more than anything else, they will want to see YOU. So Jon, give the people what they want! Love ya-lee P.S. find a home church or bible study group too |
| 28th January 2009 rac026 | I miss ya buddy! - From: Gallery 2 So a couple things: 1. I'm sorry that i haven't really put any pictures up on here, it's because my small camera broke and my camcorder takes blurry close pictures. 2. I'm so glad to hear and see that you are having a ton of fun, and its not even close to being over yet! 3. You missed Hike-3 when you were labeling silly, although i'm sure that at least one of the two comments before mine have said that. 4. I'm having a great time, I'm going to go get a camera today so get excited to see some cool stuff. |
| 28th January 2009 Sarah | Hi Buddy! - From: Gallery 2 Ghana looks beautiful Jonathan. I'm glad you're enjoying yourself :) |

| 27th January 2009 Kira Pearce | - From: The Adventure Thus Far... Hey J.Riv, love you! miss you! Evan and i were out on a driving lesson adventure and i was proving i could drive on the highway for more then the stretch between campus and wal-mart so we went to Lebo! On the way back i saw Badgar creek!!!!!!!! okay thats all, love you! miss you! |
| 27th January 2009 Wesa | Frosty, yes it is - From: The Adventure Thus Far... Jon, so good to 'hear' about your travels. It sounds like you are making good use of your opportunities as they come along. The time will pass so fast for you. Praying for your safety and chances to shine for the King. |
| 27th January 2009 Ashley Lovich | Yay Johnny! - From: The Adventure Thus Far... That Jungle looks awesome! and it sounds like you are having a fun and partying! That is what all students studying abroad should do! I look forward to all your posts, but remember to never let posting on this board come between you and a good time! -Ashley |
| 27th January 2009 Margo Pray | Thanks for sharing - From: Gallery 1 Johnie- Kevin sent me your blog link....sounds like the experience of a lifetime....learn a lot, have fun, and come see us when you get back to boring old Manhattan! Kev's mom |
| 26th January 2009 Nancy Davis | Go KU!!! - From: Gallery 1 Wow! I can't believe a Manhattan person wearing KU apparrel. I'm so proud!! :) Love you! Keep the postings coming-we're all living vicariously through you. I'm hoping Brandon and Joshua will get this opportunity when they are in college. |
| 23rd January 2009 carol | Awesome! - From: Gallery 1 Hey Johnny! Awesome pictures! Ghana is gorgeous! Miss you here in ESU. By the way Jordan didn't get another roommate, which I certainly like, but it's stilly not quite the same without you! have fun and I look forward to reading about your adventures as they progress! |
| 22nd January 2009 Kevin | JOHNNY - From: Orientation Wrap Up and the City of Accra Hey buddy, Sounds like a blast I have really enjoyed reading through all your entry's I can't wait to hear more about it. Sounds like it was everything and more that you wanted. Kevin |
| 22nd January 2009 Roger | ahh. . . pictures - From: Gallery 1 the sights are so serene. what an experience. now i could have done fine without seeing the red and blue shirt--is that how you spell emporia? |
| 22nd January 2009 MoM | WoW! - From: Gallery 1 Hey Jon, Just checking my email and up pops your update! All I could say was, Yeah!!!! Great pictures so far. Thanks for letting us look over your shoulder for a view! love you much, MoM and D.A.D. |
| 22nd January 2009 Thomas | HI JON!! - From: Orientation Wrap Up and the City of Accra Wow buddy it sounds like you are having a blast. I'm so jealous of you right now haha. Hope all continues to go well and i'll keep reading your entries with excitement :) |
| 21st January 2009 Alison | - From: So Long America, Hello Ghana!! hey! i read your most recent blog before this one... but about the hammock, you can definitely try your bartering skills to get one :) glad to know you are having fun there! |
| 20th January 2009 Ashley Lovich | Sounds fun! - From: Orientation Wrap Up and the City of Accra Sounds like Ghana is an amazing place to go! Accra sounds like fun! I would like to point out you had one small error... You see since you've been gone they cut away half of the country so now the ocean is a five mintue walk from the Emporia campus. I go there daily! As do most Kansans. Okay so that's a lie. I still haven't see ocean, but it sounds incredible! Be sure to keep practising that haggling ability, I'm sure you can use it even back in the states somewhere, like when buying a car! Remember it's winter so bundle up and stay warm :P -Ashley |
| 20th January 2009 Steven Brantl | Wow! - From: Orientation Wrap Up and the City of Accra I am happy for you John, and pray that all that God has planned for you will come to pass in this great land you are currently in. Chase after Him hard and fast, and try to keep up with the blessings that He has in store for you. STeve |
| 20th January 2009 MoM | Hey Jon! - From: Orientation Wrap Up and the City of Accra Love you much! Keeping you lifted up in prayer. Email me to let me know about your phone number. Don't forget to contact Amma's relatives, if you haven't already done so. Looking forward to pictures! MoM and D.A.D. |
| 20th January 2009 WhereIsErika | - From: Orientation Wrap Up and the City of Accra hey! My name is Erika and I was just checking out the blogs on Ghana as I will be heading over in April for about 3 months. I've subscribed to yours, so I'll be living vicariously through you for the next little while, lol. I'll be staying in Accra and it sounds amazing! :) |
| 19th January 2009 Ashley | - From: So Long America, Hello Ghana!! Sounds like you are having fun! We'll stay cold back home if you promise to stay warm over there in Ghana! It is nice hearing from you, if you have time be sure to feel us in on your trip, but if you don't just keep having fun, we'll be here waiting ^_^ |
| 18th January 2009 Evan | finally! - From: So Long America, Hello Ghana!! FINALLY! you have no idea how long it took me to find out how to comment on your blog. lol. Hey J-Riv!! well, I guess I don't need to ask how ghana is cause you've already said it's awesome! You're gonna have the best time up there. Sounds weird comming from a pesimist like me right? haha. take care buddy, and don't leave out a single detail. make sure you regularly keep us updated. Peace out Yo!!!! Evan D.!!!! |

James, I love your sign off stay frosty, and this morning we see a fresh coating of snow on the ground, you can call it frosty. I am excited for you and your prospects. Keep a close eye on the Lord and stay near to Him and He will make your path straight, and He knows the desires of your heart. We love you here and pray you have a great day, and a grand tommorrow. Steve |
| 16th January 2009 Lee Rivers | I'm so stinking excited for you JGR... - From: So Long America, Hello Ghana!! sounds like all is well.

Q |
| 13th January 2009 STEVEN BRANTL | Blessings on you. - From: Prelude to Adventure James, I am excited for you and now have another friend to pray for. Prayer is a wonderful thing, and some of what makes it wonderful is lifting up people, created in His Image, and asking the Creator God, our Saviour, to bless them in some way that you and Him come up with. It is so cool being part of the creative process with God Almighty, in some small way. God is Good, and that, All the Time, so stay close to Him and be mightily blessed. Very Lost in Christ, Steve |
| 12th January 2009 anonymous | - From: Practice Makes Perfect! Jon!!! I'm in Mexico!!! It's great! and you're either in Ghana right now or on your way!!!! How exciting to be studying abroad!!!! I hope your semester goes well and that you have tons of fun as I know you will. |
| 9th January 2009 Natalie Doman | First Comment - From: Prelude to Adventure I thought I should break in your travel blog with its very first comment. I hope you have tons of fun during your time in Ghana as well as meet some wonderful people, learn new things and make some lasting memories. Make sure to update this thing on a regular basis so we all know what's going on with you over there. We will all be waiting back at home for you! |
