Transfer week 3

On our way to Cape Coast we came upon a truck over loaded with wood.
Every time he dove on the right side of the road the load would tip to the right.
So he stayed in the middle of the road.  We could not pass.

This is the construction site we came upon would you like to guess how we got through this.

You just drive until you come to a truck, road grader or any thing and just move over to the other side of the road.
The cars from the other side do the same. You might be lucky to have a flag man but they were no help.

These are the new missionaries from the Ghana MTC for the Cape Coast Mission.
They are going to have dinner with President Stevenson and his wife.

Dinner was Chicken and fried rice with tomato stew and a cabbage and carrot salad with mayo on it. 

New Missionaries read to go to assigned areas to meet their companions. 

Elder Ameyaw helping pound FuFu.
Theresa is the cook.

This is FuFu, chicken and light soup.

This is what Sister Sorensen had. The light soup is spicy and has lots of peppers. 

This is the AP's and Supply Elders eating FuFu, you eat FuFu with your fingers.

After the dinner and a night sleep the Elders and Sisters that are going home.

This is the Elders and Sisters at the Accra temple.

This store is in the West Hills Mall in Accra and it is decorated for Christmas. We were doing some grocery shopping

This truck has broken down. They leave them in the middle of the road and put branches off a tree in the road for warning.

We are at the missionary apartment to do apartment checks. They need to have their rooms clean,
kitchen clean, dishes done and check to see if the bathroom is clean. As you can see they
must have passed. See the smiles.

They are happy because they passed inspection or was it the cookies we gave them.
