Ghana Gazette

This is what they looked liked the first Sunday they were with us - fourteen wonderful young people - two from the United States, one from England, one from Sierra Leone, one from Togo, four from Ghana and five from Nigeria. Sister Nielson had had a day's experience with our Elder from Togo ( Elder Abangbeji) - although a french speaker he has been called to serve in an English speaking mission ( Nigeria Lagos East ) - but the day Sister Dil and Sister Nielson spent shopping in Togo, he was their translator and guide -- so it was wonderful to welcome him here at the MTC. Christmas followed hard upon the heels of their arrival and so we had to have our celebration two days after the above picture was taken - so here they are (below) resplendent in the Kente weave ties and scarves that "Santa" delivered on Christmas morning. It is a welcomed, small group and will be the final group that we send out into the mission field as the next incoming group will be sent out by President and Sister Harmon. We'll only be with them for 7 days.
Editor note - sorry this was so late posting - it has been almost three weeks since we could access the blogger spot on the web and down load pictures!!!
