Group #8 - June 26/06 arrivals
Well, they didn't all quite make it - this was to be our largest group - 30, but when the dust had settled, we had to be content with 26 fine missionaries. One sister from Ghana had to delay for a couple of groups in order to get a release from her teaching job which would allow her to return to the job when she finishes her mission. Three from Sierra Leone were unable to make connections to get here until Friday, and that being too late, they were held for the next group. So 26 it is. Eight from America (they were already highlighted on a previous blog) - Elders McEwen, McDonald, Benzon, Bickmore, Strong, Murray, Cooke and Judd. From Ghana we have Elders Boadu, Nartey, Thompson, Zometsi and Boateng. From Nigeria Sisters Anyin, Gwong, Alohan, Elezua and Elders Osemene, Otuonye M., Otuonye G., Erhabor, Okere, Nnaji, and Isikuru. From Cameroon, Elder Meligui (can't speak English, it has been very difficult for him) and from Ivory Coast Elder Kjaponon (who does speak English very well.) This group will be extended by one day as the local Ghana assigned missionaries will stay with us one extra day as their mission home will be full of leaving missionaries and arriving couples - so we will have them one extra day. # posted by Ghana Gazette @ 1:38 PM
