hey everyone just thought id update a little for yall so this last tuesday i took a call of this guy i met in the artisan the place where they sell arts and stuff and he sands the figurines and ive talked to him a few times he speaks ok english and good french and good twi the language of ghana. Any way he is extremely interested and he said he really wanted a bible i got him one and was extremely happy it was cool and then i got him a bible teach book in twi. He had a lot of questiond and i had to find scriptures that directly applied because they took better explination than he cuold understand in english and than i could explain in french it was great and he was happy to find some answers. After we talked we ate genuine malian food cooked by his mother and she srved it and we started to eat and we were eating with spoons and i asked my call you never eat with a spoon do you and hes all like this is the first time i have ever eaten it this way i found it extremely funny and pretty cool because he changed his habit in order to be polite to me it was cool. Its really hot here like 100 every day so count your blessings lol. How is everyone? See you soon talk to you sooner. Your brother Kaleb Wenzel

That's some sweet goodness. I suspect that experiences like that make it a lot easier to deal with the heat. So you're pretty serious about this whole learnin French thing? Kudos brother. I'm not even trying to learn Korean, and at first nobody cared, but now I think the locals are becoming indignant. "You've been in Seoul how long, and you still don't know how to say 'my name is Dan'???" Anyhow, keep the posts rolling. I'm gonnna get your RSS feed hooked up to my site so I catch the action even quicker. Don't wanna get left behind. Oh, and Brit, if you're reading this ... what are you thinking man?? You can't leave! If I were back there, you know I'd smack some sense into you. I mean, really, Brewster? You gotta be kidding.
