Our personal largest group we've had - September 18/06
Two weeks late but here they are - the most at one time that we've had at the MTC, since we've been here. The last group the Ritchies received had three more than this group, but for us, it was a big, wonderful, busy group and they all were English speakers so that eliminated one of the challenges for us. In the group are: From United States: Elder Erickson (Idaho), Elder Faber (Utah), Elder Maestas (Idaho), Elder Brady (Utah), and Elder Booren (Oregon). From New Zealand, Elder Iosia - Another Elder from Ethiopia, Elder Mekonen who was converted by Elder Megerssa who was in the last group. Two from South Africa (Elder Hongwane, and Elder Mogotsi), one from Kenya - Elder Mbithi. Two from Sierra Leone,Elder Pessima and Elder Bangura. Five from Ghana and 19 from Nigeria rounded out this great group. The last evening after we had finished our farewell devotional and were enjoying a special treat in the cafeteria, all the groups sang their national anthems - of course some were very loud (19 singing the Nigerian one) some were very soft (1 singing the Kenyan or the New Zealand) - but all seemed so proud of where they are from and the traditions associated with the anthems they sang. # posted by Ghana Gazette @ 2:07 AM
