My 3 friends

I was able to go to Ghana for two and half weeks. While I was there, I made three friends. I wanted to introduce them to you.

This is Enoch. He has a tennis shirt on. We became friends because he is shy and so am I. Plus, I like tennis.

This is Bright. Bright took me on the grand tour of his school. I saw EVERYTHING from the orange trees, to the goats, to the playground. As I was in the bus leaving the orphanage where Bright lives, I wrote a quick note to Bright and threw it out the window to him. He read it with a big smile on his face as we drove away.

My third friend is Colby. He was about 1 1/2 years old...the orphanage didn't know his exact age. He came to me and just let me hold him. He cuddled up next to me and I was in heaven for an hour or so. He was really shy and would smile for no one. Finally, at the end of our visit, I got him to smile.
