what the boys have to say...

Judah - i saw monkeys in Africa and i liked it. and i've got to make lots and lots of new friends. i miss all of you sometimes. sometimes after 7 wks we will come back and i will get to tell you about Africa. Africa people dry their clothes different than us. they get a big stick, like a giant slingshot, and they tie a rope on it and put their clothes on it. and there are lots of kids that are walking around and they are poor. they have different houses that are called huts because they have hay on top. and i like to see them. and that's all!

Josiah - the orphans here are very fun to play with and they like soccer. there are very big monkeys here. and the people here are very kind. the chipote is very good... it's kinda like tortillas. the pineapple here is delicious!!! there are even mongoose here. they were running around when we were looking for monkeys. there were 8 or 9 of them. that was a very good sign that we saw them. that means there were no snakes around because mongoose like to eat snakes. we live in a teacher apt. in the Subbi Village. it is quiet here and you can see a very good view. there isn't a tub here; it is really not like the ones in the U.S.

  1. I'd love to see those monkeys, and I'd really enjoy seeing a mongoose. Good to know they are keeping the snakes away (or eaten). It is cold here, and we had snow two days this week. School was out part of the day Monday and all day Wednesday, Thursday, and today (Friday). You may be ahead of them when you come back in March.
