One of our MIssionaries - now a wife!

Sister Sarah Minah - a missionary in the Congo from Sierra Leone - sister to Elder Minah - they were our second and third missionaries who came to the Congo to learn French and be missionaries - how exciting it was for us then (1999), but how much more exciting now to be able to see her again. She and her husband came to the Ghana temple to be sealed and we were able to meet them and visit with them Saturday before they went home. We would have made the effort to be at the sealing had we known, but as of now having family or visitors isn't really a high priority with the Africans - they just come and have the ordinances performed - many times just by themselves. Sarah is now a French teacher in Sierra Leone (Bo) - still has her welcome smile, and is now so happy that President Nielson didn't let her go back home rather than learn French. We didn't think we would ever have a chance to see some of these great missionaries again in this lifetime - how exciting it is.
