What Is Up My Family?

things are still going great here in south africa sorry there havent been any pictures recently but the internet cafe that we email at says that there is no downloading or uploading of any kind permited it is kinda dumb. i wish it didnt have to be this way. but... sory mother. look for pictures in sister thompsons blog. anyway what happened this week.. we got jumped by a monkey who proceded to take the bananas out of our groceries and i feel like if he could have carried more he would have taken it all. we had several members feed us  that was good. and no mom i havent ridden an elephant yet although i might have an idea on that one... i have heard from most of you although i would like to here from everyone. here is a topic for you if you need help look for someone in need and write me back on what you did to help them and how it changed your life. i will include my experience in the next email as well. you guys are the light of my week you are what keeps me mooving forward so i cant wait to here about how it whent.

i recently discovered that my zulu name was incomplete so as a correction my full zulu name is tlatla manqoba. tlatla is pronunced the way it looks. manqoba is pronounced man- *click. literally like take your tounge and suck it to the roof of your mouth and pull downwards. that is the click that you are looking for just try to not let it hit the bottom of your mouth otherwise things get sloppy keep it crisp as they keep correcting me down here. but anyway oba is said the way it looks as well. so all in all it is tla-tla man-*click-oba and what it translates to is lucky conqurer. because i am the lords lucky conqurer.
