What life is like in Africa.

What life is like for an American living in Africa.
-I get to suck ice cream out of a plastic bag
-Because I am white I am always noticed (I feel like a movie star) :)
-I never go to the grocery store I go to the market to buy our foods (I love it)
-I squeeze oranges and suck the juice out
-I have to filter my water to drink it
-I get to see some great insects in my yard
-I get to have some wonderful African friends
-I can have anything made in Africa, all I have to do is show them a picture
-I get to eat yummy bananas, mangos, papayas, oranges, avocados, guavas, and pineapples
-I get to teach Joshua school
-I get to teach people around me about God's grace
-I get to have a wonderful garden
-I am able to buy so many wonderful foods
-I get to hold sweet little African children
