ฉันอ่านข้อความที่ทุกท่านเม้นมาฉันเริ่มสับสนแล้วว่าใครคือท่าน นายพลทาวน์ เซนด์. ทำไมโลกเราค้นหาความจริงยากจัง ทำไมมนุษย์เราถึงต้องหลอกรวงกันหลอกกันทำไม และเพื่ออะไร. ฉันขอพระเจ้าคุมครองคุณและครอบครัวคุณ. นะคร้าท่านนายพล ทาวน์เซนด์หลุยส์

[@user-iz9pn3ig1j]

Around Africa. Just look at central Africa, it’s more difficult and easier. Don't go to coastal countries.
