I thought I should maybe do a post in which I wasn’t whining, so people wouldn’t get the wrong idea of my life here. It is a beautiful life. I am just going to share some humorous quotes we utter here in West Africa that I doubt you have ever heard or said in America.

“ I totally saw a white guy at market today!!”

“It’s raining, are our buckets out?”

“It rained a lot yesterday, we should do laundry today.”

“ We should go greet them[neighbors] , we haven’t seen them in like three days.”

And lastly, I would like to share how God answered one of my prayers this last month. My window leads out to our neighbors’ yard.  In this yard is the bathroom behind a wall. The hole for the latrine is getting full. When the wind blew  a certain way, my room was becoming unfortunately odiferous.  I was getting sad about this one evening, and I prayed about it. Soon after that, the rains began coming every night with regularity- and every night right before the rain I can smell a lovely flowery scent wafting through my window. It is sooo nice! God sent me some aromatherapy, He is faithful, even to my nose!
