Hi Daddy!

That is so good to hear that people are excited about what I am doing!

This weekend I relaxed a bit because I was dizzy on Friday in the heat, and I think my body needed a break, I was worn out! It has been very humid during the day, but almost every other night it has rained. I love the rain here! Saturday evening was a huge wind storm that knocked out the power all over Kumasi until the next day. But i am used to that!

The water has been coming on during the day, and it makes the girls very excited to fill up the bath tub for me. A cold bath in Africa with happy little girls giggling in the next room at being able to treat me...that is one of the coolest things I have ever done.

You know Willy's story of someone calling to him in the market? That happened to me on Friday! A man from the Bible school ran into me when I was shopping with Tina.

I got my first custom African dress on Saturday...it is so gorgeous, I cannot wait to wear it at home! Tina also had a hat made for me...this huge intricately folded thing, its amazing.

I gave Ps. E a good laugh today when I told him about the American trend of boys wearing girl pants. He thought that was the funniest thing ever!


I miss you and cannot wait to come home and tell you everything and show you my pictures! But I'm also exited that I still have three weeks here, I love it!

Love you,
Mary
