Ya sis bailey just said that she was calling to get the email of some family members. The keyboard is fine. i can type much faster each time. sounds like the boys are doing good. tell the boys good job on everything they aére doing! i wish i could write more about each thing.
casava is a root? weird. when it is ready it looks like bread. it tastes literally like vomit.
the corvette sounds cool. i kinda wish i had it... BMW and Mercedes are crazy cheap here. like 4000 for a model before the new ones and in pretty good shape. M3s are cheap too. 5000 for a NICE one. There's so much diesel smoke. it sucks breathing sometimes. like i could stick my mouth on the pipe of the truck for 10 mins straight and thats probably how much i suck down.
actually the guys are taking me out for dinner on the day before or after [to celebrate his birthday]. who knows. if you could send me like 60or 80 bucks for my birthday, that would be sweet. i'm buying a couple of soccer jerseys and two African dress suits. not like a suit jacket. its paints and a shirt. they're being made next week. : ) well to answer your questions, my french is improving and I'm getting used to things here, still take the malaria pills, of course. [he had a native companion tell him that there was no malaria there and he didn't need to worry about taking his meds] no worries.
im actually in Koumassi which is that island peninsula off the city of Abidjan. shoes are great. I don't wear my sandals when going places because i have stepped in things 10 times worse then i think the human body can produce. got a couple blisters. no big. the members are great. incredibly nice and they love me. especially the kids. they'll rub my arms and my hair all the time/.
yes we have a toilet but no seat so you just sit on the rim. i have to wipe it down each time. makes me want to tell them to sit down to pee... lol
French is going good. it doesn't even sound french here. i can understand about half of what people say cause they talk so ridiculously fast. on the plane i could understand and talk a little to the french people, but when we were in the airport in france, some africans were talking behind us and we seriosly thought it was a different language. like a bush language. My french is getting better though. i argued pretty well this morning about something and i can tell people stuff... lol.
[We have a baptismal] font.
the interview [with Elder Golden] was pretty normal. just asked how I was doing and then he gave me some encouragement. he's a really nice guy. i found a couple of cockroaches in my bed this morning. just a little fun fact. [ewwww]: )
I love you all!!!
Love Elder Halvorsen
