Paul and Francis are from Ghana. Paul has been in the states since 1996, but he spent the first years of that time in NY. He came to Columbus because housing here is so much cheeper. If I understood him correctly, he works two jobs to pay the bills.
Francis is just a year out of Ghana, but his english is about as good as Paul's. I was impressed. I think I'd still be nearly incomprehensible after only one year in a new country. Francis is between jobs at present.
In any case, Paul and Francis were just headed home when smoke started seeping from under the hood of their minivan. When I arrived, it appeared that neither of them had got out of the car to see what the problem was yet. When they told me that there was smoke, I decided that it wasn't even worth it for me to look under the hood; I offered them a ride.
On the way to their house, they told me about themselves. They were very nice. I'd stop for them again any day.
Pray they can fix their van and that Francis can find a job.
