Today we went to mass at a Catholic church in Balham. The church is nice but in Ghana I haven’t seen a Christian woman wearing trousers before – at home they would wear a dress to church. And the boys, the mass servants, were wearing earrings! But everything went well, all the songs were good.
Lots of young people were there receiving First Communion. I actually received First Communion at the last mass I attended in Ghana two weeks ago, so this was special for me to see.
We were invited to church by a nice local Fairtrader called Dorothy, and after that we went to lunch at the house of a lady from Guyana called Thelma. She made us African food that we know and like, she used the small hot peppers that are called
kpakpo shito!
