What Goes Around Comes Around

Chapel cleaning crew!
Monday was pretty much my first normal non busy P-day. We took our time washing and cleaning. I made 4 loafs of Banana bread. 2 were devoured and 2 I delivered. Elder Masendi needed a trim. We did some small shopping. Went and made Sobolo with aunty Kate. Chopped Fufu at my favorite chop bar, and then we tried to email, but the power died... So we began proselyting early. :) Taught Elizabeth and picked Emmanuel for FHE.

When things get forgotten
in the back of the fridge.....
(not by me)
The Sister Training Leaders gave a nice instruction on Charity, you can never hammer charity too much. After district meeting, we went and chopped fufu and konkonte with fish. I love those things so much paah.

On a more tasty note
We taught Benjamin for the first time in ages. We've been baptizing all of his friends, so he's taking interest again. Hopefully he'll receive a full conversion this time. Shaibu also wants to make sure that he is dead certain that this church is true, so we told him we'll give him time and keep coming to teach and expound. :)

Chilling with new members!
Wednesday was standard, filled with lessons and visiting. However, we drank 3 minerals! (soda in a glass bottle) Man, people were dashing us like crazy! I know I'm going to suffer for them though.... PEC was nice, and we managed to get Mary's baptismal record filled out. :)

My Ghanaian Head wrap :)
Weekly planning and studies took the full 3 hours, but it was very productive. The sun is getting hotter and hotter I swear. My handkerchiefs are soaked before we even leave the house..... Most of our people were free, which made teaching really nice. We had a 2 1/2 hour lesson with Kubra and Emmanuel joined us half way through. Man, those 2 have questions paah.

Mary's Baptism :)
Exchanges! Elder Tom came with me to my area. Teaching was way nice, at mid day we went to a Nigerian alley bar, he got some 'who knows what' Nigerian food and paid loads for it.... I'm content with simple cheap things. :) Appointments began to fail, but we managed to stay busy. Mary had her baptismal interview and succeeded wonderfully. :) I'm so happy for her.

The Gang
All Saturday I was feeling blah... but the day was filled with wonderful events. We first went and cleaned the chapel, came back and then the clouds opened up and it just began to pour... and, because God is wonderful, he had the rain stop just enough, so that we could leave and make it on time to the wedding at 1. The wedding was.... eish. The Groom's "friends" did a spectacular job of crashing the wedding, to the point that they had to move it to the bishop's office to proceed since it was just too chaotic to continue.... Ghanaians man.... Turns out though, the Groom did that to all of their weddings, so what goes around comes around huh? ;) Mary had her baptism and it was so nice. I love seeing people that are truly prepared, to come and enter the waters of baptism. :)

Sewer diving...
We tried to pick people for church, but no one wanted to come.. :( At church, lately the mentality I've been noticing from members is that they all have "their" way of doing things, which reminds me of Isaiah 55:8 We should try to align our ways, with His ways. Elder Masendi finishes his training! WOOO! We begin the normal schedule on Tuesday. :)
