Primary and Young Womens Visit MTC
The wind was blowing in from the Sahara Desert - it was hot and sunny and two very special ladies took just moment to pause in front of the Ghana MTC and wait while Photo bug (could put a little more on that description perhaps!) Nielson tried to get a shot taken of the threesome. It had been a special privilege of ours to host Sister Dalton (right) Second Counsellor in the Young Womens Presidency and Sister Liffert (left) First Counsellor in the Primary Presidency. They were able to talk to our missionaries - and it was particularly uplifting for the six sisters we had attending at the time to see the example of strong sisters in the church and in the gospel. Although the visit was very short, we sensed well the dedication these sisters have in serving our Father in Heaven - Sister Liffert was not feeling well, but that in no way reflected in her testimony - it was strong and living. Sister Dalton as well spoke to the missionaries as a "Mother" might - and although I didn't see any tears shed, her spirit and her advice was given with the love of a real mother. Bless their hearts they were prepared to try the real Ghanaian food - but our cooks put the fish into batter and the potatoes into fries - and the foo foo and sauces will have to wait for another time and another place. These opportunities to hear the testimonies of our leaders are so important for our missionaries - not only does it strengthen them and built their testimonies - it gives a chance also to break the classroom routine - that is their beginning part of sacrifice in the mission field - to study and learn and prepare and do it with a smile and a good spirit.
