How many fit in a Tro Tro?

The locals would answer "room for just one more!"  A Tro Tro is a 15 passenger van which is used like a large cab but is less expensive than a cab.  Usually for GHc50 Peswas ($.35) you can get to the next major junction.  Passengers stand along the road and point to the ground when one approaches if they want to get on.

Elder Asay crammed these 28 passengers from the Abakrumpa Branch to go about 20 kilometers to the Yamoransa Chapel for a baptism.


Elder Awatey (far right) baptized 4 converts and an 8 year old at this event.  Most investigators are devout Christians who have been searching for the restored church of Christ and quickly recognize it when the missionaries teach them.  The Church grows fast here!
