Well hello again! I had quite an experience the other day. I got to teach about HIV / AIDS at an elementary school. Me! Teaching about AIDS in GHANA!!!

The amount of misinformation in Africa is horrifying. You wouldn't believe the stuff people think about AIDS here. It's really disturbing. They think that you can get it from mesquitos, and that there is a cure but only really rich people can afford it. It's pretty shocking to talk to kids about AIDS. It's hard to say if we got through or not, but I hope so.

Hopefully this picture can be posted. It is of me and Dan, a pal that I taught with. We are standing in front of the school. In all seriousness, this picture is actually one of my proudest moments.

Aids from mosquitos!!?? It must be very hard to have sex with a mosquito. Oh well, when the urge "arises" you have to go with it, I guess.
Celebrity at church...Pied Piper with music with the children...Teaching school kids... Traveling about and getting noticed... When the children grow up you are planning to have them elect you, right?
You are doing good deeds and helping people out.
You are a good person... Not great... but pretty good.
Work harder for greatness.
Have fun. See you ...soon.
