So...I've been pretty homesick the last few days. I didn't think I would get so homesick but I definitely am. So write to me. On here or at my e-mail dani.israel23@gmail.com. I am dying to hear from people at home. I do have a few funny stories though. Yesterday at church....Story Uno. I taught YW. So I get through the entire lesson titled "Chastity and Modesty" and at the end I ask if anyone has any questions. A girl says, "What does Chastity mean?" Uh.............
So second, there was this boy named Geoffrey getting baptized. A sweetheart definitely. He befriended us on the first Sunday and is a very intelligent university student. So, we went to his baptism right after church. Now...a lot of people here are terrified of the water. I don't really understand why, but they are. There's a guy in the ward baptizing him and he gets him only part way under the water and Geoffrey jumps right back up. This happens 6 more times, then the Elder is like, "okay, I'm goin in." So he gets in a jumpsuit and tries to baptize him. Geoffrey still won't go under. So the Elder comes up with a new technique. He says the prayer and TACKLES him into the water. Whatever it takes, right? Nine times! Hahahhahahahahhah. Poor thing, everyone was laughing. And he just got out with the biggest grin on his face, so happy. I love baptisms. It was awesome.
Everyone got sick last night...like really sick. There were five throwing up continuously throughout the night. One girl puked 4 times. We have no idea what it could be. I've been really nautious and haven't eaten anything. Even smelling food makes me want to barf. I've also been really really dizzy and have a pounding head ache. I do not feel good at all, but at least I'm not stuck in bed like everyone else. THere's also about 6 others who are stuck in bed not feeling well. Poor things. I guess that's waht happens when you are eating delish (sarcasm) food in a 3rd world country. I hope everyone has an awesome day. I'll write again hopefully on Wednesday!
Love, Dizzy D

Sounds like food poisoning. Take your ginger pills and drink lots of fluid. Can you buy any coca-cola anywhere? The cola syrup helps settle the stomach. So sorry! We love you.

Hey Dani, I'm sorry your not feeling well. I hate being sick. But hey it could be like a new diet not eating yeaaaaaaaaaaa. JK. Bad idea. Oh by the way today in art ms. Anderson was grading my paper and said do you have a sister named Dani and said yea. Ans she was like oh i just love that girl she was like my favorite students. Then she went on about how she just loves you. Then i told her you were in Africa and she said that i have to tell her all about your adventures. She also says hi. I really want to watch the movie gift from gods or something about that i just remember it takes place in Africa and a coca-cola can falls from a plane in the sky and the people think its from god.
