Learning languages

Here in the Northern Province of South Africa, the people mostly
speak Afrikans if they're the whites of Dutch or English descent, and
the people from the villages speak Sotho. I only know a few words in
each so far, but I can't seem to remember which language is which,
haha.

We put together thousands of Gospel booklets, invitations to Bible
studies, and tracts; plus we just got another shipment of Chick tracts
and Bibles in several languages that had to be sorted and organized.

I cooked supper last night and one of the Africans named Alfred
joined us for the meal. He left shortly after feeling very sick with a
high fever. Today he came by again, and I asked if it was my cooking
that made him sick. He said he hadn't been feeling well before he
came over, so I was very relieved. I came over here to help the
Africans, not kill them with my cooking!
