Ok, so this week has been crazy. Driving is awesome. I love it. Europeans are the worst drivers in the world and then you've got trains going all over the place and it's just crazy and fun. And their parking garages are like roller coasters to drive in, it's fun. Although this whole driving the speed limit is something new to me, but it's not too hard. Especially with a companion in the passenger seat.
This week I've had to drive to Alkmaar, Lelystad, Breda, Zwolle, and today we have to drive to Brussels and then next week we are going to Amsterdam and then Brussels again and then Amsterdam and a few other places, too. We are so busy.
Yesterday I got to meet Elder Oaks and talk to him for a minute, it was really cool and he gave an awesome talk.
So we counted how many languages Elder Carter and I can contact in and we ended up with close to twenty and are working on more. Right now we have: English, Dutch, Spanish, German, Twi, Portugese, Arabic, Afrikaans, Fijan, and the list goes on. We're getting pretty good, too. We have little notebooks that we write new phrases in so we can get better in all these languages. The people love it when we try to speak their languages, especially the Ghanan people.
Speaking of Ghanan people, yesterday we had "so" interesting food. It was the usual Ghanan FuFu, but it was cooked in a soup that consisted of the spine of a small dog-like creature with a little bit of meat left on it, and then some different portions of the guts, mixed with some spices and then served. You eat it with your right hand and your right hand only, grabbing a piece of FuFu (blob of goo) and using your thumb to make it into a bowl/spoon and then you put a piece of meat in and spoon some soup into it and eat it. I like the Nigerian FuFu better, but the chicken style from Ghana is really, really good.
I really can't remember what else happened this week. It has been so crazy and we are so busy. We have literally no time to stop and take a breather let alone eat!!!! But we fit it in and it's going great.
