Back in Tamale

Had such an amazing 2 week holiday. I really did not know how much I needed it until I was in the midst of it. It was lovely to sleep in. It was lovely to try new restaurants. It was lovely to have family around. It was lovely to read books. It was lovely not to speak Dagbani :) Sometimes I think God is too good to me. Seriously, He provides, and loves, and goes over and above. I feel so precious in His sight. It really makes me want to give back whatever I am/and can.I returned back to Tamale. Everything seems the same. Gotta get back on track with things.I know some of my Dagbani has flown away but I hope it will come back. I need to get back on track with language. I need to walk to some different areas to find new people and make new friends. I need to get back into exercising. I need to get back into eating right. Speaking of eating, I made my mom's lasagna. I think I only made it once while in Ghana because there is so much cheese needed and cheese is sooo expensive. A few weeks ago a small boy was selling cheese for a very cheap price. He was a Fulani. Many Fulani are nomadic and unreached with the Gospel. They have many cows and milk them and sell the milk and the cheese they make with it. It didn't sound very legit when I first heard about this but I have since tried the milk and it is fine. I saw the cheese being fried and I got so excited because this would be so similar to fried cheese curds! And it is! I also googled it and in the USA I think it would be considered Farmers Cheese. Whatever it is called (here they call it Wagashi or something like that) this Wisconsin farm girl is T.H.R.I.L.L.E.D!!!!I also have had a hankerin' for donuts, so I made a few dozen of them. Damary and I ate so many. To keep us from being gluttons, I took some to church so they enjoyed too. Hopefully, I am getting all my food cravings out so I can go back to preparing healthier foods. I find it is easier in Tamale to cook healthy. Things are fresh and whole. I don't use so much sugar or need to fry things. It is another benefit to being up here!Pray I would jump back into language and love it...or at least find that what I have forgotten comes back fast.Love you all.
