Day 6 - Someone Who Does Not Live In Your Country

I went to Africa in June on a mission trip. While we were there we had to go pick up our interpreter. We were told not to believe him when he introduced him self because he would probably try to tell us he was a "A trucker from Tennessee." This is Bitton! He lives in Zambia, Africa.

During our 2 week stay in Africa we became very fond of Bitton. He always kept us laughing One Day he told us he was a cook in Georgia. Another day he told us he was a Cow Boy from Chicago! (Cant you see it now, "Bitton the African Cow Boy galloping on his horse straight down the main road of the Windy City!")

He also tried to convince us he was from China.... Then he would pretend to speak in Chinese. His face would get all scrunched up and he would utter some noises that sounded something like "Whang Wee Wahh" This of course kept us in stitches.

Look at Bitton looking all Debonair in the above picture... Dont let him have you fooled! ;) One night when we were around the camp fire one of the girls said to another, "I Love you Lilly!" Bitton then said "No you cant love Lilly only Joe(Lilly's husband) can love Lilly!" We all just laughed at him and then each went around the circle and in defiance to Bitton expressed our love for Lilly. He would just shake his head. Then it really backfired on him and Alli said to Bitton "I love you Bitton." Bitton slowly looked up at her. And you could see it in his eyes he didn't want to be rude but he also knew she was messing with him so after looking at her a second he simply replied "Thank You."

Needless to say. "I MISS BITTON!"
