I went shopping for the clothes on Monday, I got three different beautiful patterns for three dresses, and Tina's sister came over yesterday to take my measurements, so my first one will be ready Saturday and i will wear it to church.

Yesterday I learned how to make fufu! But i had to eat it with a spoon because i cut my finger a bit while i was peeling the cassava for it. I am also learning how to do everything without running water. And, I am beginning to carry things on my head! I think that during the 4th of July parade, I will carry the water bottles on my head and wear my African dress!!!

I love Tina and the girls! TIna has a friend who comes over often to help with the house work, and she is hilarious! She is teaching me some songs, and she does not speak English so I have no idea what is going on.

Frank came over yesterday and wanted to know if i can dance as well as Willy, he did not think I could. So I busted some moves and he was blown away...he wants to have a dancing contest with me at church on Sunday!! Andy Cole likes to give me dancing lessons.

I am liking the food a bit better, and my appetite is increasing, plus Ps. Emmanuel figured out that I am not used to so much food, so he is letting me eat less while my appetite grows. They are definitely treating me like a special guest, and i was reluctant to that at first, but I realized that it is a treat for them as well to be able to bless me (because I get ice cream, the girls get ice cream).


OK, I love you! God bless!
