Tamale

The baptismal font in Tamale.  It sits in the courtyard of one of the chapels.
This is the Couple Missionary's home in Tamale with a connecting building which serves as a chapel and an apartment for four of the Sister Missionaries.  This is where the Renfroes, who just arrived last week will be serving.  It's 6 hours north of Kumasi where Elder Halladay and I are serving.  We are so excited to have two new couples join us here in the Ghana Kumasi Mission!
Woman driver.
Dish tv anyone?
The family car.
Mama and child.
A baby on mom's back is a common sight.
Waiting for the light to change.
Many motorcycles which makes for exciting driving experiences!
The little orange three wheeled cart and the green one behind it are taxis.  
Loading or unloading the truck...many times you'll see someone riding on the top as the truck travels.  
Grain or rice.  People take advantage of transportation any time they can.






Ever seen a cashew tree with its fruit before?  It was new to me!  Apparently, harvesting and processing cashews is a tedious process, hence the high cost of cashews.
This is the soccer stadium in Tamale.  These people LOVE their soccer matches!

One of the roundabouts in Tamale.  See the soccer statue in the center?
Safe Journey!

  1. I saw Cashew trees and their fruit and nut in Panama. Discovered the fruit and nut have an acidic moisture on them and they are corrosive to the skin. People handling them must wear protective (rubber) gloves to avoid damage to their hands and skin. Interesting, that there is only one nut on the bottom of each pear shaped fruit. You would think they would be more expensive than they already are.
