What is your favorite thing to eat in Ghana?
Fufu, I’d say, with groundnut soup.
Describe three different things they serve for food.
Fufu is like a soft smooth ball of like Playdough in a bowl of soup that you eat with your hands.
Then there is Banku which is like dry Playdough that you dip in stew and then swallow. Oh yeah you swallow Fufu also.
There is also fried rice, basically the same that is at Panda Express.
Now, almost a year into your mission, what are a few things you think you will miss about being a missionary?
I’ll miss the privilege to wear the tag. It is an honor to have the Lord’s name and his church on my shirt each day.
What are some things you will miss about Ghana?
Things are cheap here! So I’ll miss buying cheap snacks off of people’s heads. Haha. (They sell stuff on their heads.)
Who are your closest friends from your mission? Missionaries? Members?
Elder Bawden, one of my former companions, is a great friend. Also Elder Nabrotzky and Elder Memmott. He is new and we are in the same district. But we've hit it off really well. He is sweet. From Nevada.
What are some of the best qualities in your companion?
He is down for anything. Doesn’t really have much preference on stuff. So that is good in that he doesn’t boss me around or make it his way or the highway.
Tell a funny experience you have had lately?
Elder Pinnock always quotes "The Testaments" movie when we are buying something at a shop. He will pick up some oil or something and say, "Is this your work?” to the seller. Haha. It’s funny to him and me cuz the seller just looks at him all confused. Haha. Pretty funny.
