You know the song by The Dixie Chicks “Long time Gone”? Well, think of that song while you read this post. Heheh - sorry it’s been so long.
Hello to all. I apologize for the long time of updating my blog. The internet costs me a little over $1/30 min. SO…..naturally I don’t have a lot of time be online. The great people of Illico (the internet company here) had a few people complaining that they didn’t have enough money for the whole monthly payment. So, they decided to make a “card” system where you can buy prepaid internet cards from them and be charged per ½ hour. We went in and made a suggestion of having TWO plans where you can either have unlimited access to a montly fee or buy a card. Hasn’t changed yet - All you can say is “it’s Africa” and move on. Me being the genius that I am, did not think about writing my blog and then copying and pasting it into the actual blog when I’m on line the next time (thank you Brett and April). So, this is me FINALLY posting J
Lots has happened since I’ve posted last. I’ll just start listing some of the highlights in no particular order…
1. Togo is growing leaps and bounds!
2. I am coming home May 24th. - looking for a job….anybody know of one?
3. The internet continues to frustrate me.
4. E-mails have gotten shorter in length and longer between waiting times.
5. Made a mini-vacation to Benin (legally this time) and stayed at a Beach resort at Casa Del Papa.
6. Emerson’s car is broken - all piled in 2 cars for a VERY long rode trip to Benin.
7. Lome’ City Mart had Cream Soda, A&W Rootbeer, Oreos, and Cheetos cheese balls - definitely stocked up (see picture).
8. Bought Oreo cookies for $4.50 - shut up, you would have too!
9. Received packages that are AMAZING!!!!!
10. Excited and totally ready to come home!!!!!
We have 3 weeks of school then we’re all headed down to Ghana for the West African Missionary Retreat at Coconut Grove for a week. Then it’s 1 week of school and then Togo and I are headed down to Accra to come home! We can’t wait to see you guys! Plus, I get to see New York for the first time (Are you jealous Cheri???) - even if it is only from a plane.
