Group #3 - March 13 - March 29, 2006
This is our third group - in many ways our refiners fire group - teachers, staff, and President and Sister Nielson shaking their heads just a little. We are not sure whether it is the size (28), the number of sisters to show off for (7) or just the odd combination of personalities - it just seems that the sixteen days have been fun and games and young adult ideas, and slidding by the rules and loud laughter, some dishonesty, and above all just an exhausting two weeks. At times you think you are doing well, next thing you know someone needs a reminder about being with their companion, or using their time wisely, or appropriate dress and/or actions - well - enough said, the picture is late because the first one we took had one of the sisters in the front row with her legs crossed and visibility unlimited - had to take a second picture the following Sunday with more appropriate posture exhibited. It is a little discouraging to send missionaries out knowing that in the group there may be one or two that are not going to make it - however, we hope and we pray for them. This group has the following make up - Madagascar - 1, D.R. Congo - 4, Republique of Congo - 1, Kenya - 1, Zimbabwe - 1, Uganda - 1, Ghana - 11, Nigeria - 5, Ivory Coast - 3. We've just sent them off today - Three back to the Congo, seven to the Ivory Coast, sevn to Nigeria and the rest to Ghana. WE still love them all and hope our program is partially preparing them to be good and effective missionaries. # posted by Ghana Gazette @ 3:29 AM
