Tuesday, 4:02 pm Cameroon Time

bonjour from Cameroun it is good here and i am well and enjoying it. i am assisting in a school with children and of course everyone stares at the only white person around but people are nice and the food interesting but good allot of fish and corn and bread and milk: i got my hair plaited it looks awsome and i kinda blend more even if people just think i am trying to blend it is good. i am sorry for the rare updates but it is hard to get to the internet. i have a cell if there is any urgent buisiness you must contact me about just ask my mom or dad and they can tell you. the city is much like you see in the movies and alot different. there are no home phones but everyone has a cell. people are nice and friendly for the most part and i feel welcome. it is a blessing that i know french and it is improving. everyone is very religious expecialy in schools but the faith is nice and i have been going to a ministry every sunday so my faith is still intact. i dont know what else i have not said but i will just ramble for a few minutes and hope i do not repeat myself too too much. have i talked about the family i am staying with or the main teacher i am working with i dont belive so so i will start there. the family is becoming like my family and i am getting used to the different chores like carrying water and wasthing my clothes by hand and hanging them: madam lucy the teacher i am working with is a wonderful lady and very welcoming she says i am like a daughter to her and her real daughter is so nice too. i should go home because the kids will be home soon and i have the key: love you all most of you platonically but whatever, take care of yourselves. emily

    Hi Emily,

    Glad everything is going well.

    Alex and Megan are back in school and having fun. Tanya is still working in tourism and I am working at the hospital. They say hello.

    It was great seeing you this summer. I wish we could have spent more time with you.

    Sounds like you are getting a once in a lifetime experience.

    Your father seems to be having some issues (no news there).

    This is a great way to follow your adventure.

    All the best.

    Love "The Nova Scotia" Poultons
