Coffee and Tea?

Koffi & Tea?


Today we welcomed 96 new missionaries.  Sometimes the combination of their names is fun, other times the names are unusual.  This time we have four missionaries with the last name "Mbuyi."  Yes, this is fun, but no, Elders Koffi and Tea are not companions....yet.

Heavy Loads on Your Head?

Wow, how does she do that?

As you can see the shop owner here is not impressed
This is Africa.  And Africans do carry loads on their heads.  BUT, you are not African, so do not try this at home.

Progress on the new MTC

The first classroom level of the building closest to the temple is now being framed.  Estimated completion of MTC was recently put at end of first quarter 2017.

Hats Off to Couples Who Serve Senior Couple Missions

They drink healthier liquids

They make the best use of preparation days in the wild

They have joint family home evenings

They celebrate with Independence Day with the Locals

Kids love to sit next to them in Church







So what do senior couples think about serving in Ghana?  They all acquire "African Eyes" and love the people and serving with their eternal companion.  "You are invited" to join them.
