Ghana Gazette

This is Ransford...our CHIEF farmer...he has a cocoa farm...where he grows bananas, oranges and cocoa. He brought us some wonderful banans the other day and now a cocoa pod...which is very interesting...the cocoa beans(?)are covered with a white gooey membrane that you can suck off..and it is very sweet. The government buys the pods...drys and ginds the cocoa buds and markets the cocoa powder. Ransfords hobby is keeping the MTC super clean and orderly. His hobby provides the education fund for his children.... He is a good man.











This is our office board where we display our current missionaries photos...that is our hardest assignment to try and get a smile out of these great missionaries...it is definitely not a cool thing to do in Africa...smile for a photo. It seems that we just get everyone posted on our board...( which has recently had a face lift)and 16 days fly by and we take them down. We are looking to extend the time here from 16 days to 19 days...which is the program at every other international MTC.
