OUR MAY 25 GROUP
This is our latest group of missionaries - 22 is quite a relief from the 35 we just had - maybe we'll be able to call them by their names without reading their badges like we do with the bigger groups. Special feature of this group are two Samoans and one New Zealander - Elders Ross, Tuvaifale and Elder Havelu respectively. The rest come from Uganda, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Ghana. We had the kitchen holding breakfast for our Nigerian group when we got word that because they waited and ate breakfast at the hotel where they stayed, they missed their 7 AM flight and so they had to wait for the 7 PM flight to come - this threw our schedule into a small degree of disaster, but as usual we got by. Only two sisters in this group - both from Ghana, and I fear after a couple of days of observation we may have to monitor the interaction between them and the Elders - seems to be they are a bit smitten to be noticed and the Elders are noticeably "smitting" them. Anyway just one of the small challenges of an MTC program. They are a really nice group of missionaries...of course we haven't had the medical lecture and injections yet...that sometimes shows another side of everyone.# posted by Ghana Gazette @ 11:32 AM
