Hello Everyone!
Sorry it has been so long since the last time I wrote, John and I have been very busy with our new home and taking care of the havesting with my parents. Life has been very good and I am enjoying being married to John. However when we were down on the beach this morning we were told by Francisco de Almeida a Portuguese Explorer that we had to leave our land because they are going to be colonizing Zanzibar and claiming it for Portugal. He said that we will have to pack up and leave the village, or move our villages further back so they can colonize and have room for the people that will move there

The people of my village did not understand what was happening. How could everything my people worked for be taken away. I was asking John if the explorer could do this and he had no answer. I tried to find my father to see what he would say to do, but he was with other village people talking about leaving our village. John told me to look behind me and see that our cheif was coming out of his hut. You never see the cheif very often so i new something bad was going to happen.
