From December 13, 2010: On Tuesday the Nungua zone met for a meeting. There were 14 of us there. After, we all went to buy some pizza costing us $8GC. It was BOGO so Elder Orchard and I split the cost, (normally it's $16GC for one).
On Wednesday we met with Prince and he started fielding some anti LDS questions he looked up online. We answered him and we eventually closed the lesson. He met with us the next day as well, doing the same thing so it was really frustrating. He came to church again though, so it's confusing.
On Thursday the Zone went to help a family move their house. By this I mean we were going to pick up this house and move it several feet because it was on a small hill and the rain water comes up into the house. When we got there, we discovered that we had to dig the supports out from the ground in the mud. Our feet got really muddy with this mud that smelled like poop. Because the wood was rotten, the beams holding up the house kept breaking so we had to place cement blocks to get the house up. We eventually got the job done, but it was a lot harder than we thought it would be.
On Friday we had Zone training. It was good to see the Zone again and I recevied some packages, one of them being a camelbak. I'm happy to use something of quality because all of my Ghanaian backpacks break after a few weeks.
Saturday was a day where we had two meals given to us. The first came from a former investigator named Sister Charity. She searved us foufu with willie. Willie is somehow meat from a cow, but in reality it's just a slice of fat. After that we went to visit a member of the bishopric in Elder Boyd and Silika's ward. He searved us kenke which tasts like malt, which tastes like crap. In addition to that mixed with his pictures of the temple and church things we found porn next to his DVD player in which he responded to saying it was just a romance film.
Sunday was really draining. Thankfully I had some water in my camelbak to drink from. The member Mary who fed us bonku a few weeks ago prepared it again with the money we gave her. She only gave us three small servings from the amout of money we gave her and we realized that she pocketed the money and took the extra food she didn't serve us and saved it. We later got ripped off taking the trotro home because they gave us a higher rate. Was more annoyed with Mary ripping us off though, because I would think that the members would have a little more dignity with us because they know us personally and know why we are here.
We just were informed that Elder Boyd will be moving apartments and another Elder from South Africa will be taking his place.
