FLAT TIFFANI CAME TO VISIT
How excited we were to open a big brown envelope and discover that our Grand-daughter - Tiffani had come to visit Grandpa and Grandma here in Tema. The project is one that the Grade 2 class at Boise Idaho do each year to let the students learn more about other areas of the world. They lay down and someone traces all around them, then they add a little "personality and details" and send them off to visit some one far away. I'm not sure whether Tiff won the prize for having travelled the fartherest, but she did make some goo friends while she was here. Here she is having a meal with two of our Sister Missionaries - Grandma told her she'd have to learn to like rice and beans and fufu - and eat it with her hands instead of forks. She was lucky she had hit a day when the menu was cole slaw, fries and fish.
She also became good friends with Vero - another Grade two student here in Tema, Ghana. She is the younger sister to Sister Mensah and just happened to stop in one afternoon to deliver a package to Sister Mensah, along with her mother - so she and Flat Tiff were able to play all afternoon and Tiff learned some new African games. There sure is a difference in the two girls - blonde hair and long, compared to dark hair - braided - but that didn't make any difference at all - they had a good time (and so did Grandpa and Grandma as they took her to many places and sent pictures and the story back home to Tiff to show in her class.
