Why Hello,

Just a quick post, a few things to say today.

I have learnt some more words. In Sutu, a-when-a means Hey you!, shay-ba means listen, kali-boha means thankyou, and boo-ya means come here (I thought you might like that last one dad)

I am having quite a nice time with Ilene here. She is the lady that I stay with. We rent movies to watch together and last night we watched Sweet November. It was very sweet, sappy and such, but necessary. Today I got to have my favorite meal that she makes, pasta with a simple meat sauce, Also she always makes me a coffee at what seems to be the exact time I need it. She is so great to talk to, she reminds me of sitting with one of you girls in my kitchen. (lindsay like when you sit on the stool), I just sit on a chair while she prepares dinner or we do dishes and we really can just talk forever, about anything. I usually go with her as well when she needs to drive somewhere.

I think I told some of you about the strange boy that takes half an hour to ask me if I like tennis?? Ilene is laughing at me because she thinks he has a big question stored up for valentines day. I really hope not. Today though, the man that is kind of working as our pastor type told me I could be his girlfriend. Haha, he didnt ask me, he just said I could be, and that mom you could visit only on christmas, never any other time. That got awkward so I laughed and started coloring haha.

sorry, no pictures today, I am on the wrong computer for that.

But the reason I posted today haha was just to let you all know that I love the emails I have been getting. Often times they are so unexpected and they really brighten my day. Also, if any of you would like to speak to me, because I would love to hear from you, please please contact my mom. We have a free service set up in my house and she is welcoming you in if you would like to set up a time for me to call there.

you can call her at home,
or email her, pamritchie@shaw.ca

(I just realized, if you are reading this and you are some sort of internet wierdo... please do not contact my mom.)

just a thought

valleys of love,
