Habarai ni nzuri Bashir? I'm very happy you got the Internet Cafe money so easily from Western Union! It always seem like a miracle to me -- that we can keep in touch the ways we do, even though we're around the world from each other right now!

Yes, please find out how much money you will need for the clothes, also a raincoat and boots if you need them for the coming rainy season. Then let me know the amount, TZS or USD, and we will arrange another Western Union money transfer!

Also, I emailed the Learnit Institute and found out I can wire the money for your courses and exams directly to their bank account! This will be nice and easy, and it will be safer for you. It will also save you and Mr. Iddi your time and efforts. I was very worried about you having to transport that much cash safely.

But you and I will still use Western Union for smaller amounts of cash -- for example, your Internet Cafe money, and your new clothes.

Today I took Jimmy to the doctor, where he had to have some surgery on his face. Soon he will feel better, but the doctor said Jimmy must rest at home and cannot work for two days. So I'm taking care of him at home today! Tonight I will go to my class at Cleveland State University, where I am studying literature and creative writing. Then I'll come back home and be with Jimmy. Tomorrow I'll go back to work and he will have another day resting at home.

How is your Microsoft Excel class so far? Do you have the same teacher and classmates as in Microsoft Word? I am hoping you like the new class! I can do some Excel, but not much. So you see, next time I'm in Dar Es Salaam, you can teach me some more Exce;!

I hope today you are feeling happy with many good thoughts of your education and bright future!

God Bless You!

Yours truly,
Nicole
