Why would a senior couple want to come on a mission and why Africa?

Meet the Bodines

To come to Africa, they had to leave behind their beautiful family.

Missing in the photo is their missionary son, serving in Mexico

They met life long friends that were to be their MTC group in Ghana

The Bodines love the fruit

Both Elder and Sister Bodine Teach the Gospel

Sister Bodine Mentors the Young Women

Elder Bodine Tutors the Elders

And, then there are the children

Now do you understand why the Bodines serve a mission and came to Africa?  They came "because of Him."  And we are glad they did.
