Fufu

A family at Koforidua invited us and the Sister Missionaries to come and share and help prepare a meal with them. So in true Ghanaian style, here are the photos.

Sister Mensah preparing the Plantain. This will be pounded with the Casava to make a dough which is the fufu.

Elder Brown trying to look like he's doing all the work. Sister Mensah pounded most of it.

The finished product...Fufu
