From June 21, 2011: Not Much Love at Home Between Helena and Stephen; Seeing a Moped Wreck

From June 21, 2011:
I wasn't able to email yeaterday do to a network error in the
area. 
On Wednesday Elder Moses and I were at Helena and Stephen's place.
When we approached them they were obviously in an argument, but they
insisted that we sit down and eat. To satisfy them we agreed, but with
time the argument of Helena (30) skipping classes at the fashion
design school with Stephen paying for the classes continued and heated up
with Helena insulting Stephen on more than one occasion and he went to hit
her. As a result, when they were going to swing at each other Elder
Moses and I had to step inbetween them and pull them apart. Currently
the two are more civilized with their actions, but every few weeks
there seems to be a dissagreement.
 The only other noteworthy thing was on Thursday. On our way to the
church we crossed a large gutter, in effect a man made river with a
bridge available to cross over. The bridge is designed for human
traffic, but is frequently used by motercycles was well. On this
occasion we were walking on the bridge, geting to the steps while a
man on a moped was on the ramp and lost control of the bike having it
swerve off the ramp, onto the stairs, hitting the railing, and as a
result hit a young boy several feet in front of us. The boy started to
cry and was taken off of the bridge, but appeared to be fine. The man
on the mopen spend his time forcing his bike out from the dented
railing and the last I saw of him was when he was able to get the bike
out. It was quite an interesting experience.
Sunday was Elder Titu's last Sunday before he went home to Nigeria.
He has currently left the apartment, waiting at the mission home
for his flight.
