Becoming An African =)

It has been lovely living as the people do here. I have now done 2 steps of the farming here that they do. The other morning Mama Dorothy and her two daughters Margret and Charity footed me out to there gound. All people were stopping and wondering what in the world I was doing going out with them. I told them all I was digging! and they would just laugh and laugh! So once we got the the area I wraped my self so I would not get dirty and took off the shoes, grabbed a plow and awy we dug. I was blessed that it was a cool day becuase the work I was not used to. We just took out all of the weeds so the following week they could plant. After a couple of hours we completed the work and headed back home. There I was given water to wash and they brought me bananas and a coke. I then beaded some necklaces for her. Her other daughter had been cooking so she finally allowed me to help and I ground sim sim into a kind of peanut butter look. It was hard work but I was glad to be "managing" it!!
Today I have just returned to town from planting with a lady Betty, or Mama Grace. She is very fluent in English and knows a lot. Planting was much better. One would put in holes and the other would put a few beans or corns into the hole and cover it! It was a hot day though so I think I sweated more today! hah
So slowly I am learning the way of a realy African. I am not ever able to reallly become one until one thing: I marry an African!!! Iye Iye Iye!! Only if the Lord whiling!
