hello again,
details for life here ... well, it's hot, dusty and humid. i have to have a fan on me anywhere i go, if possible. as for what i eat. it ranges from fried rice to oranges to plantane to stew and spaghetti. i make a certain bean stew with tuna fish, and i make enough of it to last me about 2 weeks. that's only if i eat it like once a day. i evenly ration everything out. there's some other ghanaian dishes that i'll have every once in a while as well. so i'm beginning to gain more weight. dan said he's lost like 5 pounds, so i might be catching up to him... i doubt it though haha.
the shower each morning is nice and cold, so i have to get used to it every time i try to get in. my bedroom it barely big enough to have two beds in it, so there's about no walking space. my bed had a net over it so that the mosquitoes don't eat me. luckily i've been safe and haven't had malaria. i'm hoping it stays that way too :).
most of the roads here are dirt, but there are some paved. those that are paved are not paved very well so there'll be holes in the roads, basically everywhere, which makes it difficult for the little taxis to drive around. the roads are not wide at all either, so i really hope that i won't have to ever drive here. it wouldn't be easy.
as for the baptism yesterday, it went okay. it was supposed to start at 9am, but there was a misunderstanding and so the branch president thought it was at 10. so we were calling him and he finally came at about 9:45. but it still turned out well. we had two sisters that were for our branch and then 6 others for another village. that village had to come cause they didn't have running water to fill their font.
alright, well i'll talk with you soon and i love you tons!
