GROUP #9 - JULY 17
Our ninth group -doesn't seem possible, but again we have an MTC full of wonderful and enthusiastic missionaries - Countries represented this time: England (our first Elder from there - he was two days late getting here, but got going extremely well) - Elder Mayall. Then we have our first Elder from Benin - french speaking Elder Koussemou - Others in the group include our single sister from Ivory Coast - Sister Gnamien - A large group from the DRCongo (see next blog) - Three from Ghana - Six from Sierra Leone (3 that should have been here last group, but didn't catch a flight) and the three regularly scheduled. Nigeria sent us six this time - Kenya one - Elder Mbithi. One sad thing happening with this group is one of the Elders from the Congo, Elder Lutumba had a questionable X ray - only the second one we've had since we've been here. Dr. Merrill has him isolated and he missed the excursion to the temple - instead visited with another clinic and Doctor is having to see a specialist tomorrow to see if its TB or some other type of problem. One blessing is that he has been called to serve in the Congo, so he'll be in his mission if he has to go home and get better before his mission - but we are still exercising our faith and prayers it is nothing serious and that we can get him to the temple in the next couple of days and back on his regular program.# posted by Ghana Gazette @ 11:46 AM
