Hi Everyone!
I am here in Togo and putting my french to the test! Today I walked around the beach and the outdoor markets around downtown lome. It was quite the experience! I am learning to cook togolese food as well! The main spice they use, for those of you who are wondering, is anis seed. I have eaten some interesting things while i have been here so far-- baobab tree soup (very slimey), palm oil soup, goat, tiney sardine-like fish, fufu, and lots of interesting peppers. Today I also began to learn how to balance things on my head like they do so often here. I balanced a big tub of water to the amusement of many spectators.
Please keep the AMANA conference and everyone in Togo in your prayers! This is truely a poverty stricken country that is in need of much prayer and missions. This conference is so important! (More on that later).
Well its dinner time!
A tout a l'heure!
