Hello Everyone,

Dinner last night with Christopher and his men went alright. They told us about their religion and some of the things that they do and believe in in their religion. They also told us about what types of things they do for entertainment where they come from. Their culture and way of life is much different from ours. I must say that it is quite interesting to learn about new cultures and new ways of life, but I don’t think I would be able to change my culture and way of life. I think this is because I have spent my whole life learning and cherishing this culture and way of life and I have a great time with it. Christopher and his men also listened to what we had to say about our culture and way of life. I had so much I wanted to share with them, but I didn’t want to make their ears ring! It was fabulous getting to learn about one another and just get closer to someone new.

After dinner I went to see Doli. She thought it was fabulous that I was learning all of this stuff about new people and she wanted me to share it with her. I told her that I would come over the following day and tell her all about it. I told her it was amazing some of the stuff they do where they come from. She couldn’t wait for the next day to come. Doli also told me that she was still weary about these people and wanted the day where they left to come sooner. Doli also isn’t feeling very good, with an upset stomach and fever. I hope she feels better real soon!

After getting back from visiting with Doli, I found an empty house. Then I heard singing coming from the church 5 doors down. I walked over there…and what do you know there was Christopher, some of his men, and the village at the church singing. I was glad to see everyone getting along and Christopher learning about our religion and what it is all about.

Christopher has informed me that in a couple of days he and his men will be leaving the island. It will be sad and hard to see them go, but I knew this time would come. We can also keep in contact with him over our blogs. I am glad we have these to communicate with people who live further away. I just hope that we can stay good friends and that someday he will be back to visit.
