The Yanks have arrived
Our largest group of American missionaries arrived via BOAC Saturday night about 10 PM. Sunday they attended meetings here in the Tema ward and the afternoon was used to drive into the temple square in Accra where we tested their durability by having them sit through a fireside President and Sister Nielson were giving for the Couples working in Accra. They survived admirably! Pictured in the group are: L to R back row: Sister Nielson, Elder McDonald (Illinois), Elder Benzon (Nevada), Elder Judd (Arizona), Elder Strong (Arizona), Elder McKewan (Utah), President Nielson, Front row L to R: Elder Bickmore (Utah), Elder Murray (Idaho), Elder Cooke (Arizona). We await now the arrival of the African portion of the group and will post a complete picture next Sunday.
