Ok, so today we took all of the guys to the "Lebanese Pizza Parlor" ( I know, it doesn't sound right) called Montana Garden which is actually really good !! It reminds me of homemade pizza. We had a lot of fun and it was a special treat for everyone!
I dont think I have told you about all of the guys so here it goes. First they are all in there 20's. Johnny is from Bo. He is very funny kind of reminds me of Rafiki the baboon from The Lion King ! He lives at the mission and leads a church. Next is Aiah, he lives with Johnny he is a Freetown native. He also leads a church and is more reserved. We talked american politics a couple of nights ago for like 3 hours. People here love Obama they have Obama Ice Cream stands and I cant tell you how many "In Obama We Trust" I have seen, actually the internet cafe I am in right now has an Obama sign in it. Next is Elton originally a street boy he came to the Lord and is on fire! He is so goofy though, like just never stops laughing and smiling. Jawad is the strongest of them all. He is a converted Muslim from Bo, his family has disowned him and he lived on the streets for 8 years. Now he is the best Bible school student in the school! He visits the jail twice a week is the best soccer player I have ever seen and leads a church. Eziekel is the greatest drummer I have met. He is ridiculous! He said he can teach me but its hopeless. Melvin is the leader of the Bible school just a great guy, loves basketball. I went and played with him the other day. Now the older generation, Pastor Moses is an awesome guy ! He was an alcoholic.. but is now addicted to Jesus and leads his own church. He grows his left thumb nail like 3 inches long for some reason. He says to scratch his back, I think it is so people will ask. Charles aka Smokin Joe is the king of the one liner. He is originally from Dallas but moved here in 2001 the year before the war ended. He is also the best driver in Sierra Leone. Pastor Andrew is the head honcho he is great, loves Jesus and loves singing his praise. Admire leads her own church she made me some african clothes. Britney is a missionary from Colorado and is kind of like the mom to all of the kids. Her husband Isaac and her lead a church and Isaac is 6'3" and loves basketball but more importantly loves Jesus and is very very ,did I say very, laid back nothing bothers him. Angela is Pastor Andrews wife and she has yet to have left the house which apparently is a good thing here. The wife is suppossed to love her house so if she stays there she loves it. But I think she takes that to a new level. Thats the older gang then there are the kiddos. Starting with Heidi she is one month 8 days and stays up all night. Next is David he is Pastor Andrews child and he just turned 2 last week. he is my little buddy he calls me uncle and we hang out all day.. he is one of the smartest 2 year olds in history. then there is Emanuel he is 2 also but older than David. He is a little slow though they think he has a mental dissability but he is so cute and awesome. He is so funny! Then there is little Moses or Comba, (they have like 15 names here its crazy but anyways) he is 6 and is a ball of energy! He is very funny and loves everyone. he calls me uncle crack, im not sure why but it doesnt bother me. Next is little Rebecca she is 8 and very reserved but loves to touch me then run away so I guess we have a bond. Next is A-boy aka Stephen aka Alpha he is a great 12 years old and just is great, i know i already said that, but he is he so calm and respectful. But he can have fun too! Next is T-boy aka Paul aka Thamba he is loud sings the same song over and over and over but he is awesome loves Jesus and is so fun. Then there is Samuel he is 14 and 6' he is a handful there are few Samuels in this world he is very energetic in your face 24/7 but not in a threatening way, just so excited like a puppy. He loves basketball so we go every once and a while and play at the court like a mile away up a mountain, its not too fun! That's everyone Samuel ,David and Heidi are Pastor Andrew and Angela's children, the rest are Angela's sisters kids who were orphaned a couple of years ago.
