oh....only five minutes left! Anyhow, the converstation was extremely interesting and thought provoking. And, who gets the chance to really meet and talk with such important members of soceity? We are studying Cameroons developmental problems and speaking with the leaders that are at the forefront of the movements we discuss in class. The complexity the we are beginning to encounter is astounding.

And, on a lighter note, we (the fourteen girls of the trip) have discovered that the best way to discourage a man who keeps suggesting marriage is to say that our father demands the price of 150 cows to be brought to him in the United States. The young man realizes that he can not pay this price, yet does not feel that he has been snubbed, and the conversation can continue normally!

I should, barring power outages and such, have time for more stories this week. I would love to hear news from all!
