Three Weeks to Africa!

So I'm back from Pittsburgh...finally, we were gone for 18 days this time and we only had one day off...We got back yesterday after a nice long would be 10 hour drive, but it turned out to only be nine with my expert driving, hee, hee...and it was a very very long drive with the girl in the passenger seat changing the radio station every 2.45 seconds, between bites of chips....it was quite annoying to say the least! So I found out some news, I talked to my project leader, his name is Jabez...so I guess I'm the only one in my project. I mean there are other people there working but I will be the only non-African...so that will be fun! I'm just a little apprehensive ;) But he did mention that they had wireless Internet, so that is good and that also means that they have electricity! But that is at the office, I'm not sure about the place I'll be sleeping...so we will see...exciting stuff! So while I was in Pittsburgh I met a guy, the guys we were staying with friend, who lived in Zambia for about a year and he told me some pretty crazy stories about the bugs there! Huge ants that can kill you and spiders and snakes...all of those fun thing! SO only three more weeks and I'm off! It is a good thing that I'm not they only one going to Zambia, two Japanese from my team are going too, and we decided that for New Years we are going to meet and go to Victoria Falls and go Bungee Jumping! Well the guy will go with me, but the girl refuses, that is OK though, we need some one to take pictures! I'm way way excited!

Oh Pittsburgh

So I'm having a good time in Pittsburgh....really it is true! Besides the freezing rain and our inability to raise funds everyday, it really has been a fun experience so far...I have met some really nice people and made some friends. For example, on Tuesday I dropped off everyone and was left to find a place to park the car and walk to a place to fund raise...I easily found a place to leave the car without getting a ticket, but the problem was walking to a place to fund raise...so I wandered around the city for about an hour all by my self and ended up in a Black neighborhood...I met some really nice people, like one guy who stopped me and to talked to me about religion and Africa...he was really sweet and really spiritual, although some of our views differed. Another guy stopped in the middle of the street and asked my name, and then talked to me for about five minutes....he was a little creepy, but nice. He was fascinated with my eyes and kept telling me they were the most beautiful he had ever seen and got about an inch away from my face...it was really funny and that was when I decided I needed to find a different place to go. And then I met a woman who couldn't give money but gave cookies instead...I love just watching people and the goodness I see in them! One thing I feel so bad about is that they don't know the truth, they don't have the Gospel...and I can see how they have strayed but are trying their hardest to do good...I just want to reach out to all of my brothers and sisters and give them a hug and tell them that it will be OK and that their Father in Heaven loves them. I am so grateful I have the knowledge of the true gospel of Christ!
