Breakfast this morning consisted of omlettes, cinnamon rolls, rolls, and fruit. Immeadeatly afterwards, we left the hotel for some God prasin' at the C.C.C (Calvary Charasmatic Church). Their service started, with the four-thousand who gathered, by singing some local songs, but they were all in English which was uber-cool and what-not! The preacher began his sermon by praying for a group of aspiring doctors, and he even invited us up to the front to pray over us and give the group his blessing. The entire service lasted roughly 3 hours, was very noisy on account of the massive amounts of dedication to praising the Lord, and we even got to see the preacher's office, which looks more like a fancy loft in a NY apartment. For lunch, we ate spaghetti-ish noodles/sauce, homemade supreme pizza, chinese style chicken, curry rice, and some kind of delicious lobster soup. After lunch, we went on an adventure to find Kente cloth, the traditional fabric of the Asanti tribes. We found some, and even learned how to weave the threads to make the Kente cloth. Mark had a great time practicing his weaving skills, along with Sarah, Hinkster, and Steve. Afterwards, we were craving some more delicious Ghanian cuisine, so we headed back to the hotel for a scrumptious dinner of spicy chicken, steak kabobs, mixed veggies and spiced rice. Overall, twas a great day for us all. This is B-RAD for news channel 5, signing off.
