Things You'd Never Hear in America

-Yevo (Yo-vo, which means European or White Girl)

-There is a frog in the tub.

-Did it spit at you? (Wisdom asked us this when we told him the frog in the tub was orange....)

-I'll hold your money for you.

- 1 Ghana Cedi (this is cooler if you know the accent....)

-Futbol

-You are welcome (EVERY ONE says this but they mean it literally like we are welcomed into their village not as in You're welcome after a thank you)

-Sister Larissa, Kendra, or Mara

-Please do you have a A, K, Q, or J? (Instead of asking for an ace, king, queen, or jack. We have adopted this.)

-Hand me another bag of water.


There are others we just can't think of them right now. So we will play a little game of would you rather with you guys.

Would you rather:
Shower out of a bucket with a spitting orange frog

OR

Sleep inside of a sweltering hot sauna all night long?

WE LOVE AFRICA!!!

  1. We pray for you everyday. I hope you get used to the heat so you can sleep. Remember Becca saw that guy spraying off the side of the building to cool it off? Possibly a spray bottle of water and a fan?

  3. Not this heat my love. It a whole new story when you add 85% humidity to the mix, and are basically at the equator!
