Friday night I went to the University of Ghana to attend a dance performance. It was interesting to watch and next week I will be going to a drama production which I am also excited to see. Saturday I went to Osu with Doreen. While there were spent a few hours with her childhood friend that stays there while she attends University. I was very humbled by the experience. She rents a small apartment that she shares with another girl. It is a one room apartment. The beds are on the floor and I realized how many things I have that I don’t really need. I was also impressed by how generous the girls staying there were in offering me food and drink even when they have little.
Also while in Osu I did some more tourist shopping, but more so window shopping. Auntie Agnes told me not to buy things there because it is a tourist trap and things are more expensive there. She said that I should find things I like and then tell her, so she can tell me where to buy them at a better price. Doreen encourages me to buy things, so I bought a few things. She also knows how to talk to the people to help them lower the price.
On Sunday I went to church with Sister Monica and Padiki. It was a little different than the other churches that I have been at here in Ghana. They dance a lot more, kinda like TCX worship, and the pastor definitely has a lot of passion. It was intense at times, but interesting to observe and be a part of. After church we stopped to visit with Sister Monica’s younger sister Teresa. I am always meeting people that are somehow related to the family. After that we headed to the seamstress!!!!! I was a little more than excited to go. I picked out two patterns; one dress and one skirt and top. 2 weeks until they are finished, and I am counting down the days! I am super excited for new clothes to wear as I feel like I am always wearing the same thing.
