I totally agree with the last part...

I totally agree with the last part of your blog. (Mainly because I'm not there to agree with the beginning) :) So many people view "westernization" as a positive for every community and don't recognize the effects and negative consequences that are brought along with it. Even in the US, places are becoming more urbanized (is that a word?) and the community aspect of "small towns" are being lost to the me and mine mentality of cities. I can only help to make connections back to NOVA since I don't have the perspective of African communities to compare to. :)

Enjoy the wedding. I hope you bring back pictures or have someone send you pictures. I miss you and we'll see you soon!

P.S. - I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving dinner. :) It really does warm my heart to know how much they love you there and how welcomed you have been into the family.
