So what's up my little FuFu Family

So this week was kinda cool but of course it was filled with the usual disappointments (including this dang sticky keyboard!). Such is life.
Sometimes life hands you a sticky keyboard and there is nothing you can do about it; however sometimes life gives you a nice keyboard and you never realized it was nice until you have tried this sticky keyboard of good and evil.(see 2nd Nephi chapter 2) haha.

So cool story #1.
Last last Sunday (2 weeks ago) they asked me, on the spot, to confirm Samuel (Victoria's son) as a member of the Church. The blessing stated that Samuel would be given the Priesthood and would need to exercise it a lot in his home and that he would be responsible for bringing many of his family members into the church by helping them understand and read the scriptures and the doctrine. So we went over to their house to teach them some more stuff and Samuel was there with his older sister Comfort. He was sitting there with her helping her read the book of Mormon chapters we left her and was teaching her about faith. We gave his sister Comfort a baptismal date after that. It is crazy to see how this little 14 year old punk who has normal has 14 year old problems, can also be such a great influence for his family. The priesthood is real. We are still working with Comfort, who we hope will be baptised soon. She is learning that in order to be baptized that she needs to come to church EVERY Sunday haha. Step by step.
Samuel is doing a good job.

I learned a couple things from this. The priesthood is very real and it is a very big responsibility to hold it. You have always got to be ready and worthy to use it, because you never know when it will be needed or when you will be called to 'step up.' Kinda like how you always gotta have a short concert ready under your guitar fingers, you never know when you are going to need to play.

Also I learned that younger people are understanding the scriptures and doctrine more than the older people. The more time people have been in the world, the more they justify the things they do and twist the scriptures. We were teaching this 16 year old girl Bernice, Sis Alice daughter, and we asked her to explain the Sabbath Day commandment back to us or explain what Moses and Abinidai were teaching us concerning the Sabbath. She said very plainly "well we can't buy or sell on Sunday." The older adults that were sitting with us were like "well what if i'm going to church and i'm thirsty? Is it against the Sabbath to buy pure water?" or "what if I run out of charcoal for my fire and I can't cook. Is it breaking the sabbath to go buy charcoal?" or "I can't go sell my goods on Sunday after church?" We taught them about preparing on Saturday and they still weren't buying it, looking at us as if we were crazy. Bernice however understood it plainly and she understood the rest of the commandments because she is younger and still pure. Another reason why she understood was because she can read and go to the source of the commandments, the actual scriptures, and read what they say. They don't have to learn from other sources downstream after the lies/commandments of men have trodden through it.

Sad story about Bernice (sis Alice daughter) though. She had "malaria"
(every sickness whether it be actual 'malaria' or not, they all call it malaria) these past 2 weeks and was not able to come to church. She goes to boarding school in another town in the central region, about 2 or 3 hours from here. We have been teaching her while she is back on vacation.

Boarding school here makes going to church hard. People consider the private schools to be better education than the government public education so people want the children to go to private school if they can.
So the private boarding schools are all church schools, Methodist, Catholic, Presbyterian etc. At these schools they DO NOT let you leave the school premises to go to church or anything like that because they provide a church for you to go within the school. So if you are LDS you can't go to church because it would involve you leaving the school. Dig? So Bernice can't attend church because she is going to a boarding school. I wish they could get permission to have their children leave to attend the LDS church, but they haven't been able to. People aren't too worried about sending the kids away to school as they are blinded 'by the traditions of their fathers, which are false.' President Golden, from the 70, during stake conference strongly counseled against going to boarding schools that do this or sending your children away to school because they still need to be raised by parents. Nothing justifies failure in the home, but the people still send their children away to private boarding school. They don't seem to understand that by following the counsel from the prophets and by keeping the commandments and going to church that they will be blessed more than if they went to the boarding school. IT IS A SOURCE OF FRUSTRATION FOR ME!!!

So Bernice leaves to boarding school in 2 weeks. She has come to church 2 times about 5 months ago before she went to boarding school.
She can come for the next 2 weeks and then she will leave to boarding school. The rule is they have to come to church 4 times before they can be baptized. This is a smart rule so it'll ensure that people are serious and won't be put under covenant and then fall away. The problem is that we have the Tema stake conference for her 4th Sunday and they WILL NOT do confirmations at Stake or Ward conferences so none of the missionaries can baptize anyone that week because the confirmations would be delayed. Remember for a convert baptism, they do the confirmations during the sacrament meeting not right after the baptism like they do for a child of record baptism. (they still confirm children of record during sacrament meeting anyways. I try to explain it to them but whatever, they are
trying) So we won't be able to baptize Bernice because the 4th week is stake conference thing and she is leaving to school after her 4th week. President Smith told me that we need to wait until she comes back from school in 6 months before she can be baptized. I felt really really bad about this so about 10 min later I dug up enough courage to call President Smith again and try to persuade him.
I felt like you do when you are staring at the phone for 10 min pacing around trying to talk yourself into calling that girl to go on a date or to a dance haha. I was nervous to call him again, so I acted it out first with my companion and built up a really good way to ask President. So I called him again but he wouldn't budge on the rule. I just don't want Bernice to be away at boarding school with no parents and no constant guidance of the Holy Ghost, but I understand and everything. Man I was bummed out though. So that was not my favorite day.

Well here are some more funnies, our choir sings a lot at church. They don't sit up front on the stage and sing but they just sit in the audience in the corner then stand up and sing. The women were all trying to hold back their former church ways but they were all kinda rockin back and forth and stuff, but doing it kinda sneaky haha. I think part of this is their former church ways and that everybody here dances whenever they hear music so it just happens.
Remember that everyone is Ghanian so they dance not awkwardly. It was funny.

Also Bishop was talking about going to stake conference to 'fill your bucket.' When talking about 'bucket' he pointed above his head. I was kinda confused but quickly realized that the women carry buckets on their heads. Usually I think of 'bucket' as a wooden thing with a little metal tie around it with a handle but here 'bucket' means big metal bowl that you carry on your head. It made me giggle.
During Sunday School I had to resist making some comments about the Holy Ghost. They were asking about why He appeared in the form of a Dove? I wanted to explain by standing up and flying around like a dove and cooing and then fly around like a crow and caa-ing. The scriptures are teaching us that the Holy Ghost is reverent and calm and comforting, it ain't noisy and annoying like a crow. You want to shew crows away (thinks of grandpa's scarecrow) while we usually welcome doves.
Alas, for the sake of reverence I didn't do it but I probably should have. People would have understood.

See I teach like you guys? You guys physically took your kids outside and fed them mannah (banana bread) water struck from the rock (diet
sprite) and quail (bbq jerky or buffalo jerky) and made them wander out in the wilderness (church parking lot). I betcha they learned quite a bit. You guys are good teachers. Everyday I find myself being more like you. My South African companion even asked me what "gaaall" and "fetch"
means.

Hey on some good news we are going to baptize John on Saturday.
I just gotta go meet his wife and sneak it out of her if they are correctly married or not. The dudes will always lie. The wife has been out of town for the past months but comes home tomorrow. Nice. John is a great dude. He read and had a feeling and we asked him if he wanted to be baptized and he was like, "phew. Well I guess i'd better be.
There is no denying what I felt." SWEET! We are still teaching his family. Bishop asked his fellowshipper from the ward to baptize. The older woman from the photo last weeks husband.

Nice well I will enjoy the blueberry funkenstein hat you made when I get home. Send me a picture. Hit me! YaOW! Man there ain't no funk in Ghana. WE want the funk, gotta have that funk.

Hey dad, I have been getting your letters and they are the best things ever. Keep on sending them. Your words are very helpful to me and help me get through the day. They build my faith in the Savior and in Heavenly Fathers plan for all of us.

Well I gotta go family. Pictures soon to come next week. Sorry the internet was being poopy and wasn't uploading my pictures.

I love you tons.
The work is continuing!

Ehtisehn Kramine! (how are you dog!) (It loses something in the translation)

Ehtisehn Kramine! (how are you dog!)Probably not a good idea to say that one, I don't think that 'dog' translates over in the same way haha.

So just to start off, I managed to sneak a photo of these dudes carrying a taxi on this little cart thingie. I don't bring my camera out when I'm outside because it turns into a 'hey snap me, snap me!' fest; however I had to sneak it out for this one. In Ghana they like to use these carts for about everything, putting coconuts on, collecting spare metal parts so they can sell them to the schmelters (I love that word), transporting kiosks (big ol' metal stores) and transporting whatev. This is the first time I ever saw a taxi though. Crazy eh? I would be afraid to be the guy in the front (danger!).

Couple cool stories this week. We baptized Sister Kporvi (prounuced bore-v with an African lip smackin' 'buh' in at the front.) I like to say her last name as if I was an Evil communist Russian submarine captain because it has those 'k' things going on like those Russians do. Anywho, we got her baptized along with her son Samuel. They were referrals from their neighbors the Kiokpas. Sis Kiokpa is the older sister on the left in the picture. Man the best way for missionary work is to get the referrals from the members. To get referrals is kinda tricky but it is way more effective than the whole knocking doors thing. Boo! You gotta do that too but it ain't as effective.

A lot of the time we are contacting we will meet muslims but we are not allowed to teach muslims anymore. It really is sad but there is nothing we can do about it.

So I have a discouraging story. We were teaching an after baptism lesson to one of Elder Chamberlains recent converts. We were sitting outside (we never ever teach inside, I can count on 1 hand the amount of times I have taught a lesson inside) on this bench under a tree with some little kids playing next to us. The recent convert came outside and yelled at the little kids and at a 14 year old girl and said something like "I thought I told you leave!" and then picked up a plank (like a fence board) and broke it over the girls body. The plank broke in half like a baseball bat does when it shatters. The girl was okay (I have no clue how) and ran off crying. The member then sat down and was ready for us to teach him. Man I gave it to him. If there is something I have no tolerance for it is abuse. Every time I see a little cane thing they use to beat kids I pick it up and throw it on top of someones roof or I throw it into a poo filled gutter, where it belongs. The member guy said, "oh its okay, it is what we do here in Ghana when the children don't respect." I then told him about the whole millstone around your neck and thrown in the sea thing and let him know how bad I felt and told him to go apologize to the girl. The whole rest of the day, I was so upset and felt like crying. When I got home I prayed for a long time to ask Heavenly Father to help Ghana overcome the whole child and women abuse thing. It really upsets me.
I was thinking about it and I have never even been spanked before. You raised me with wisdom and patience and taught me when I did something wrong. You just didn't ignorantly beat me or 'give me the boot'. You teach rather than beat. Man everyday I can't tell you how many times I hear the words "stop it or I'll beat you!" I can't tell you how many times our investigators bring out the cane during the lessons to scare the children if they start getting squiggly. It is so wrong. Thanks for being good parents.

So on the funny side, there is something we talk about called "becoming a true/real missionary." It involves hmmm soiling yourself. If you have not poo'd your pants then you are not a real African missionary. I was in the car with some Elders and our AP has had this experience plenty of times and we were all laughing about it. Here in Ghana most of the food is oil based and it is just weird to your stomach, plus all the food is sold in kiosks that line the streets. The problem is that in my area the gutters also line the streets and these are always full of poo and all sorts of weirdo germy stuff so the diarrhea is always common.
So this week I became a true missionary. Are you proud? I was just laying in my bed and then all of the sudden I knew something was definitely wrong. My companion was proud as well so he sent out a text saying 'here ye here ye, my companion would like to announce that he proudly poo'd himself and is now a true missionary.'
Man I never thought that day would come, in the mtc everybody is always sick and puking out their lungs and moving between puking to diarrhea or from constipation to the laxatives to the diarrhea but we always make it to the toilet as there is usually a little bit of forewarning. This time it just came outta nowhere. Oh well. I'm doing good now, I just drank a lot of Sprite and took a long rest and I slept in a long time. I think it was because I didn't get enough rest and Ashaiman is just freakin' dirty.

So we showed up to our baptism this week and realized the other Elders had swiped all the towels for their baptism at another chapel because they didn't have any towels. You would usually think, hey no biggie I'll just go grab some towels at the local whatever store and have the church reimburse me. HAH, wrong! That is a little too tricky, the church is still growing. This place is like Hawaii where they open stores like that around 10 and they close at hmm slightly before sundown (which is at 6) and chances of them having anything close to a towel are small. Shoprite sells towels for 30cedis a piece!!! Screw that. So of course we had to run home and use our own towels for the baptism, here is a picture with me with 2 backpacks. 1 for the scriptures and another for the towels. Don't worry, we used the other missionaries spare towels. I'm against sharing towels.

Cool, so Elder Chamberlain and I are working really hard. Here is a picture of us lookin' tired. We are now workin' on working smart rather than just working hard. If we can figure this out then we will be 'SUPER HEROES!'

speaking of heroes, sorry that the remake clash of the titans movie bit. I like the original one the best with the play-doh skeletons and clay medusa with her hair and stuff. Of course you can't watch that movie as a kid unless the lights are on or something. It is full of freaky scary stuff like giant scorpions and snake hair and a kracken and killer skelton dudes and some blind witches. The original movie rocks.

Thanks for all your letters and emails. I like them lots. Sorry I don't got more time. I gotta send this right now and run. I love you tons. The church is true.

Glad to know my missionary buddies back home are doing good. Glad to hear Kyle is doing so well. He is my hero. Him and Daniel and Jordan. Great people and friends. Well gotta go. Love you.

Dear shorties (pronounced show-t's) and big Dave

So this week was full of ups and downs, as is each week. HEY! Elder Prince just called me and said that he found some mountain dew and he is bringing me some! Man I love that Elder Prince. Only downside is that it is this Nigerian Mt. Dew that doesn't taste as good, it still is good though. It kinda tastes like Mt. Maze, ya know the ripoff cheap brands from Albertsons (does Albertsons even exist anymore? I remember that they were gettin' rid of some just before I left).

So we started off the week hoping to baptize 2 people then baptizing another 2 people the following week. One of the people we baptized was Savior (Dinah). Savior has a small little girl named Angel. Man she is a roudy little girl haha. During Saviors baptism she was rolling all over the floor getting dust on her nice dress and just squiggling all over. I distracted her by grabbing her and plopping her down next to me and I grabbed her finger and started pointing to the words in rhythm when we were singing the hymns but then she lost interest and started being 4 years old again. So I was asked to baptize Savior and when she got in the water, she got scared. A lot of Ghanaians kinda freak out when they get in the water. Savior got to the first step and froze and kinda just stood there. I helped her down and then she kinda went into freak out mode. I practiced with her what was going to happen but she still got stiff and scared. I talked to her small and assured her that all would be alright. Just after the prayer I tried to put her under the water and she kinda yelped and got all stiff legged and wouldn't go down. I said the prayer again and this time I kinda used my right foot to gently (and sneakily) slide her legs out from under her. She kinda flapped around in the water but we managed to get her all the way under so all is well haha. She was so scared about water. Man I told her about how I was scared of how noisy the water was and that my dad baptized me face first because somehow, in my little 8 year old brain, that would be less noisy and scary. She was happy afterwards and was confirmed on Sunday.

Oh and her little girl was all lookin scared after because of how her mommy was all flappin' around in the water haha. The next day during church, Angel (the little girl) was all fine and dandy and happily shoved a nice handful of sacrament bread down her face. All is well.

Savior was one of those contacts who came up and asked us about some tracts while we were teaching a lesson. We called her later and had her meet us and show us her house. We then taught her and baptized her. She is only 24 and has a 4 year old daughter (doesn't happen here too much). The dad is not there. She really has a testimony about Jesus Christ and is getting the hang of church. She went to a lot of these traditional clap your hands and stomp churches before but she is learning what is right. She knows that the church is true.

Anywho we were going to baptize this little 11 year old girl Celeste, who stays with her grandparents who were baptized last year. However it turns out that here in Ghana, grandparents means that you are from the same town. Kinda like Tongans are all "cousins" even though they are not closely related at all. So we went and tried to find her parents and ask them to come to church and also for permission to baptize Celeste. The whole family situation is a divorce filled mess. We met the step mom who was like "go for it." We then went to Mr. Biological (whom she hasn't lived with for 4 years) and asked him if we could baptize her. We taught him some stuff but he isn't really interested. He said that Celeste isn't old enough to be baptized because she needs to understand the bible more, learn to pray and go through some classes etc. He gave us permission to baptize her when she is 15, like they do in his church. Man it took all of my will power not to say, "listen pal, this little 11 year old can read 4 times better than you" but of course I didn't say any of this. He didn't even know what grade Celeste was in or how long she had been living at the "granpas" house. Anywho we respected Mr. Biological and will baptize Celeste in 4 years. Ulgh. Celeste is still cool though. She always comes to church and isn't going anywhere. She will be okay. Elder Chamberlain and I both felt terrible after that day. We are all better now. No worries.

Well here are some cool pictures. This is "momma lydia" "mom" or Gladys. She lives in Dansoman, she fed us every fast Sunday. She used to live in England and stuff. Her daughter was baptized in England and went on a mission and learned sign language and now teaches signing at a college. Gladys wasn't baptized until like 15 years after he daughter joined the church. She was actually housing and feeding missionaries for years before she was baptized. She said that they used to come and tease her by taking goofy pictures of her. I was lookin through her photo albums and I saw this little missionary. That’s right. It is brother Jeff Jordan in our ward. The one with the cute little mission kids. He was serving in the mission where she lived. Small world eh. She said that Brother Jordan was a goof haha. You can tag him on facebook or something for me.

We are going to baptize 2 more people this weekend. Victoria and Samuel. Victoria doesn't speak or read but luckily her 15 year old boy Samuel can. Victoria knows the church is true and has a nice fellowshipper that stays across the street. Samuel is doing well. His dad is the one that chased him with a machete. Well anywho Samuel usually sells kerosene for lamps at night. (they carry the stuff on their head. Crazy huh?) He has been working on Sundays. We taught him the Sabbath day and he committed to live by it. In Ghana, a lot of people have a real hard time with that one. I guess it takes a lot of faith not to work on Sundays. They don't understand that they are witholding blessings and breaking a commandment. Thanks for raising me right so keeping the Sabbath day is kinda engrained in me and ain't a big deal.

Man a couple of missionaries went home early again this transfer. 1 was sick and I don't know about the others. Man every transfer at least 2 missionaries get sent home for one reason or another.

Well all is well. We gave another family a baptismal date but the mom didn't come because she was at the salon. Man the more I am on a mission the more I realize that people need someone to hold their hand and walk them to church, read the scriptures to them, and teach them to keep their commitments until they can do it themselves. Oh well, somebody has gotta do it.

Hey there is this really great guy named John with a family. He is correct so I'm excited. Finding a family with a mother AND father present is really rare. There are a lot of fatherless kids runnin' around and a lotta moms who don't speak English. When we find a family that has a dad who is a good guy and can read, man we hold onto him. We should baptize John pretty soon. Hopefully we will be able to get his wife and kids to come. He is willing to bring them. NICE!

Elder Chamberlain says "Greetings." Man I like him. I always tease him for the way these South Africans speak haha. Both of our English is like garbage English so it is funny to see the different phrases we use and try to figure out where they came from. Generally his tone is rounder than ours. We are still harsher with our vowels. He is a good hard worker. Easy to get along with.

Hey you are knitting? Man I think if you find a nice wheelchair to sit in, I think it enhances your needle technique and your pinwpm (painstainkly imposslbe needle work per min). I'd frame the sock. Hah I like you mom.

Hey, jest tell Jarrett to "bring the funk!" Glad he did well at his concert. Glad Brandon is dating someone. I like Brandon. Hey you saw all my music buddies. Glad you are still representin' and are still artsy fartsy. I like your artsy fartsy ways. Usually people as artsy as you don't bathe. Thank you for bathing.

Man look at you nerdin' it up with all the baggies and wires and stuff. I want to nerd it up! I think when I get back home, you are going to have to teach me how to do that networkin'. I feel an inner nerd part of me that wants to know how to do that...Darn you Grandpa!

HEY SIS!

Didn't I always tell you that you needed to be an English teacher? You are really good with all that junk. You are naturally talented with it. You can write a paper about something you know absolutely nothing about and then get an A on it because of the way you word things. GO AND SPREAD THIS to your other students. See you gotta have a buncha skills. Larry Green always says you gotta have 2 things aboutcha. I'm proud. You will do good. And 9am school instead of 7am! YEAAAAH!!!

I'm waking up at 6:15 to these darn chickens! Man there are chickens everywhere. One almost crapped on Elder Chamberlain the other day. It was standing on a clothesline while we were contacting and he heard it and stepped back and it poo'd on his shoe.

Well I gotta rock. Tell dad that I love him too.

All is well. Glad you are keepin' yourselves busy.
Talk to you soon!
LOVE YOU - Thanks for your prayers. I pray for you guys every day. I can tell that the Lord is blessin' yall.

Obronis Bye bye! (like the little kids say)

Extreme bucket washing, hard work, extreme teaching, many investigators

Hello my people!

So this week we was pretty nuts. Speaking of nuts, here is a picture of some little squirrely kids at church. The one on the right is the bishops kid, and the one on the left is the 1st counselors. Looking at their face you can probably tell what face I was making at them haha.

Oh here are pics of Gloria and Alice (the ones next to me in the pic). They are both now baptized and confirmed. KaPow! They are both doing good and have good friends in the church.

Here is some extreme bucket washing going down. Boo!

Speaking of bucket washing. For the past 3 weeks we have been washing ourselves out of those buckets. BOO! They are 'sending someone to fix it.' But hey, I got your towel package and your sd card cracker package so all is well. Only you would wrap the sd card in paper that is speckled like a wheat thin and disguise the sd card like a cracker. Man good work. You make me proud. Hey the towels work great, thanks tons. Also the cookies! MINT CHOCOLATE GOODNESS!

Man! Elder Chamberlain and I are working really stinkin' hard. We were able to get 10 people at church (really we got 13 but we can't count them at church because they didn't show up for sacrament, there are all these rules and stuff about numbers that make me wanna hurl) and we were able to give out 4 more baptismal dates.

We met with president Smith this week and he was talking about how we need to work with the members more often etc and now we gotta try and get 10 member present lessons each week. Also the members in the 'member present' lesson have to be able to fellowship the person, not just be some ward missionary with way to much free time who comes around with you every lesson. So we went out and started just being ourselves with the members and stuff. The best way is to get the investigator to come to the members house and then teach them there (surround them with lots of support, kinda like the cows do when you get to close to their babies. Kinda like the baptismal font at the temples. Dig?) We were able to get 10 member present lessons this week, 25 other lessons and 14 new investigators. We got 11 progressing investigators who we will hopefully baptise in the next couple of weeks if they keep coming to church and keep comittments etc.

I have been trying to think about why we were able to do well this week. Then I figured it out. It is because we are doing what President Holland advised us to do. He chastized us about not studying effectively, if at all, and not studying with our companions, not planning thoughtfully and not teaching people to keep committments. Elder Chamberlain is a great senior companion. We are doing our studying, we freaking spend forever planning and we are extending commitments right and left. We never leave a lessons without asking someone, "will you..." and then looking them in the eyes to let them know that this is important.

Also I have been treating all this missionary stuff kinda like guitar practice. You practice a lot by yourself during your own study, then you gotta practice with your band and make sure you are all on the same page and make sure you are entertaining and polished, then you gotta go all out no matter how stupid you feel or else it'll end up not being cool. Dig?

I almost know where I am know in the area. We went on splits the other day and I was able to make it to all the appointments without getting lost...well too lost...well we rode around in circles a lot but we got there haha.

We are going to baptize this mom named Savior and another girl named Celeste on Saturday. Savior actually came up to us while we were teaching a girl named Portia (porsche, like the car) and asked us about some tracts and if we taught people how to write them. I gave her a book and then she showed up to church. I later had her show us her house, we then taught her and now she has a baptism date. She is great. She has a small girl named Angel. Savior is only 24 years old and is a single mother. She really loves the gospel. We had to work a little bit to teach her about the Holy Ghost. We prayed with her and had her ask about Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon and she received and answer and cried and everything and said that she felt something warm inside.

Celeste is a 9 year old who stays with some great ward members the Kuchina family. The Kuchinas run a private school and Celeste stays with them. They are related somehow... Kinda how polynesians call every single other polynesian their "cousin." Dig? We called the parents and they are down with her being baptized. Celeste doesn't really have anybody that cares about her much except the Kachinas... She has been living with the Kuchinas for 2 years and has been going to church for those past 2 years. She is a smarty pants. I think I scare her though. She is kinda quiet so I just ask her stupid stuff to get her to talk. She thinks I'm a freak but she laughs.

Well I gotta run. Sorry so short today. Next week will be longer.

I'm glad Anton is home. Tell him 'what up!' and good job.

Glad all your stuff is going good. I'm sorry I dont have time, we were runnin' late and we got an appointment right now.

I miss you all and love you very much. Thanks for being a great family. It is all about the family. Thanks for rocking.
Man I actually craved some fufu today. It was weird. I am now African haha.

Well talk to you next week. LOVE YOU!!!
