Baptism, Exchanges, and The Mall

We had a Baptism! This week we baptized an 11-year-old boy named Michael. He is friends with a member family and he decided that he wanted to get baptized. The baptismal font in our ward is outside the church, so we had to clean it out a few hours before the baptism. When the time came, I was the one to put on the white jumpsuit (Even though over here, it's just a white top and shorts). I was able to baptize Michael and it was a great experience. He was able to be confirmed as a member yesterday too.

This week we were also able to do an exchange with a group of missionaries in Kasoa. We did some proselyting in their area and it was a nice change to be able to teach people who spoke good English. The main reason that we stayed the night was to go to the mission office the next morning. We had to fill out some paperwork to get our Ghana non-citizenship cards. The highlight of the trip was eating cold cereal in the mission office. It's also one of the rare places here that have AC.

The last thing that happened this week was my visit to the China Mall with Elder Segura. At the Mall, they had two nice grocery stores and it also had AC! We were able to buy some imported goods from other countries; salt, pepper, and garlic. There was also a KFC next door to the mall and we decided to eat there afterwards. It was a strange experience. It was the only fast food I've been able to eat since Papa John's at the MTC.

I hope this next week will bring more adventures and I wish you all good food and Air Conditioning at home!
