Ghana MTC Missionaries Receive the Gift of Health

Yesterday was the first full day for the 22nd group we have hosted since our arrival.  On their second day in the MTC (their first Saturday) every missionary receives immunizations.  (Their first two  hepatitis b shots, a meningitis shot, and a drop of medicine to prevent polio.)  Their yellow fever card is verified as well as their chest x-ray for TB.  In addition all missionaries in Africa take a doxycycline pill every day to prevent malaria.  Our goal?  Healthy missionaries!

It looks more painful than it is.
