Hey gang! This week on #whatsmysnack we have some Jello Fries!! Lol nobody knows why they call it Jello fries but it is a very popular Nigerian dish. It's just rice with spices and spinach. It's not too bad, but it's really spicy! Charity and Peace made it for us after our lesson with them last night! It definitely tastes better than some Nigerian food I've had.
Pretty interesting experience I had this week, Betsy and Del invited us to come to Catholic Mass with them on Saturday so we went haha. It was a good experience, definitely very very different. We walk in and there is a massive cross with Jesus nailed to it, hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the room. So we sit down and start the service and the priest talked for a good 15 minutes about how the congregation isn't paying enough money and that they need more support haha. So he had some guys send around these envelopes for people to put money in. Then he talked about it more and then had them pass around a basket to put money in. Lol I guess they really need money. Then right before the priest starts the communion they choose 2 people out of the congregation to bring the bread and wine to him and guess who they asked? Lol yep, Del and I were the ones to present the priest with the bread and wine. Del had the bread and I had the wine haha. So I walked up to the front of the congregation with my name tag front and center. I gave the wine to the priest and he looked at my name tag then at me and I just smiled at him, I wanted to wink, but I thought "ehh betta not." It was a good experience tho, the apostasy is very very real haha.
We spent a lot of time this week on campus at Harper College teaching and contacting students. It was a lot of fun to talk to people our age. They are definitely a lot more receptive. We were also able to put Kelvin, Betsy, Olivia, and Peace all on date this week! Lots of good stuff going on here. The work is good and the church is true!
I hope y'all have a great week!
