Hellooo!! my cell phone seems to be more of a tease than a useful device. Reception is very limited so if the calls arent going through thats probably why. in any case, please keep trying! i miss you guys and want to hear your voices!

last night while i was bathing outside i heard some scary animal noises rooting round outside where i was standing. then just when i peeked out 3 little piglets ran in and surrounded me. i had to chase them out!

ghana is cool. i was walking the other day and passed a mosque and an apostolic church right next to eachother. living in harmony. gotta love that.

i was discussing politics with my 17 year old sister. gotta love that too. in a country where girls don't go to school in some areas, she not only speaks great english but she wants to be a nurse or an actress.
i asked her what she thought would happen when ghana starts to make money off their offshore oil. she said the country will only see 10% of the profits. the other 90% will go to the company drilling it. i asked if she thought people would get mad and start to fight, like in nigeria and so many other countries. she said "NOO. ghanaians think war is a dirty game and we are a peaceful country. we do not want to fight. we will instead have discussions." Amazing. no wonder Obama picked Ghana to be his first african country to visit, rather than his fathers country Kenya, or Nigeria.

i'm trying to post some pics right now. ill let you know how that goes.

ok, if you want to send some things id like shampoo, proactiv cleanser, books, magazines, candy, anything really.

PLEASE try to call me when Dom is born!!!! wish i could be there. i leave for fieldtrip this weekend until weds so i might have service! miss you. peace.
