So hey everyone! It is great to hear
about everyone and their lives! This last week was alright... we took a
bike trip to a little town that took about 30 minutes to get there.. it
was fun and it was raining quite a bit but then it cleared up. At the
town we went around and just talked to the people about the Gospel and
as we were riding the bikes (we have to borrow them from a member) a guy
waved us over and then he started chewing us out saying that we have no
right to be in Ghana and what are we doing taking pictures there... it
took a while but we explained everything and he understood... he said he
thought we were spies. Why would anyone send spies to the middle of
nowhere in Ghana?! Oh well... The place we biked to is in Western
Region, while Nyenasi is in the Central Region... I guess that we are
pretty much on the border.
I got the book from Dad to try to learn Twi better today! Hopefully it helps! Thanks a bunch!
We
also had an opportunity to go to our Branch Mission Leader's farm and
weed and plant plantain and cassava. It was pretty fun but everyone was
like a white man can't do work... gets kind of frustrating... people
really really really stereotype white people over here as lazy rich
people who can't do anything for themselves. Oh well... the farm was
still way fun though! Got blisters on my hands from using the cutlass
but it was good. I also got to try some cocoa... it is actually a
really fruity sweet... it is the seeds where we get the chocolate
from... pretty sweet! But that is life in Nyenasi! Love everyone back
home and miss them!
