Jolly Rancher Times

We baptised Francis and his daughter Saturday which was awesome. We thought the new font wasn't done yet so we went to the Jolly Rancher/dirty sock-smelling river Tokor again......I didn't perform the baptisms this time it was my companion. I wont complain because the last time I did it, I smelt like a sweaty clown working in a sushi factory the whole day.

Oh! Last week was awesome! After I emailed you about not having a chance to play basketball, Elders Olschewski, Grant and I were walking back to our apartment and we heard a whistle from the other side of a mysterious wall. We crawled through this small metal blast door and BOOM. A soccer field and a make-shift concrete court was laying there in front of us. I was thinking, "Narnia?".. I don't care how dezal it was, it looked 
like gold pavement to me. These three Africans wanted to play a pick-up game with us and it was the funnest thing I've done out here so far. They claimed that they didn't whistle for us... Who knows, maybe the Spirit whistles as well as whispers, and did so that night. It was awesome. 

Fufu is so freaking good.  Ghanaians are so obsessed with it and so am I.  It's plantain and cassava pounded up to a paste and dropped into a bowl of soup.  You then dig in with your hands.  ONLY YOUR RIGHT HAND if you use your left they will murder you.  They never separate bowls, so when we have four Elders eating out of one bowl it looks like a zombie feast scene from "The Walking Dead".

haha Kpando is straight up thug' out here in the African bush.  It's smaller than Snowflake/Taylor by a few thousand.  it's very spread out though.  I hated our bikes at first because my chain kept breaking and my darn pant leg kept getting caught in it, but I'm so thankful because we decided to walk yesterday for a few appointments and it really sucked some large lemons.

We've got four missionaries in our apartment but our DL and another US greenie, Grant, come down on Sunday nights and P0days for District meetings on Tuesday.

The Ghana accent is hard because my Nigerian companion and the Ghanaians have different accents.  i'm starting to get it more though.

I went on exchanges with Elder Vosararawa this week which was so fun.
 I love that cool Fijian!!!!
