You are going to be shocked at what I did this week...you will never guess...Ok, if you guessed language, you are correct and get 100 points!Praise God for you praying for me as I go through this to be able to share the Good News with people who are living and dying without hearing the Gospel. I had a hard week, but a good one. Somehow, my feet continue to take me out and I just keep walking. I have been speaking more too! Thanks so much for praying for me!I have told some of my neighbors that I have an exam this month. I told them it will not be writing but only speaking. They laugh at me because they always see me writing things down. And I do write things down when they are saying something I don't understand and then I take that to my language helpers and they try to give me understanding. But, yeah, one said, "Wunzooya... speaking? OY!"Out and about this week an old woman stopped me and said, "Snap Me", in English. Cute.
Then a woman who sells rice and stew or fufu and soup just bought a fufu pounding machine! To pound fufu, it takes a lot of strength and many times young men do it, so for her to have one will really help her. I was amazed by it. You can see the fufu coming out. She will put it into a ball so it will nicely fit into a bowl and then you can pour your soup in it and enjoy . 
Walking around I found out a seamstress, who I have sat and talked with, died in child birth. So sad. People around the area were quiet to mourn with the family. I went to sit with this girl named Mariam. I told her I heard about our friend who died. Mariam said, "So are you afraid of death?" I said, "Noooo! I know exactly where I will be when I die. I know that I will be with God." She gave me a smile as if I did not know what I was talking about and to humor me. The people who live around me have no hope. They have only their good works to get them to heaven. God says those are not good enough. I pray I would have another chance to talk to Mariam about this.One morning I was out for 3 hours and I received 4 marriage proposals. All of them from married men. How lucky am I? ugh...With one, I got into a discussion on how in my country we are all equal and so if you have 2 wives then I will have 2 husbands and OOO! the response I got from that. It is unimaginable for a woman to do that here.The end of the week my neighbor Hamdiya had a naming ceremony for her baby girl. The name is too difficult for me to say, so sorry, I can't tell it to you :)

The week has been very hot. I see Harmattan really trying to take over but it is like the sun and humidity are like, "hey now, hey now". My sleep still is not consistent. I have gone to bed once before 1am in the past 2 weeks. I am hoping to buy an air conditioner this week or next week. I know that will help.Pray for a mostly-uninterrupted week. I have 3 weeks until the big level 2 evaluation! Pray for good sleeps! Love you. Thanks for your care and support in all this.P.S. If you got 100 points go to your nearest shop and buy yourself a piece of candy :)
