This week we were fortunate enough to get 5 more baptisms! We have been working hard with visiting members and it has paid off. Three of the people baptized were the nieces and nephews of one of our members. The other two were the grandkids of another one of our members. They were all kids from the ages of 11 to 15. We aren't just teaching kids I promise. It is always fun though to be able to teach kids gospel principles for the first time. They are always naturally curious and they learn very quickly.
There were also some small victories this week when it comes to food. First of all, I tried a food called Akpeley. It is very similar to Banku where you have a dough that you dip in some sort of soup or stew. The only difference is that they add corn into the dough and I think it tastes better. Another food that has changed my life is Oatmeal. It is amazing how boiled water, oats, and brown sugar can make something so delicious. I now have up to 3 foods to eat in my apartment!
The last thing I wanted to talk about is the weather here in Ghana. Most mornings you will wake up with almost no clouds in the sky. By the time we go out to proselyte it is 80 to 90 degrees plus the humidity and the sun. The sun is my worst enemy and water is my best friend. The weirdest part about the weather though is how fast it changes. It could be super hot and sunny with no clouds in the sky and then 3 or 4 hours later it is raining like you're in the middle of a hurricane. The roads literally become rivers out here.
I'm gonna end on that note but I'll see you all next week!
