Surprises !!


Imagine our surprise to learn that the young couple that had come from Ivory Coast with no appointment and no family to be sealed to each other, that everyone was rushing about to accomodate, was our very own Soeur Kouadio. She began her mission April 24, 2006. She certainly is one of the very best of the Sister missionaries that we have seen. The families of the couple were giving much opposition to their marrying so soon after her mission...so they finally came to Accra...were married and came immediately to the temple to be sealed. We were able to stand in for her family...and as things turn out...the newly arrived couple from the US, Elder and Sister Cobb, were working in the temple office and realized that they had taught and baptized the young man that would eventually find Sister Kouadios husband in Ivory Coast and lay the foundation for his conversion...so he felt like he had someone to stand in for his family. The sad part of the story is...that she is now in Ivory Coast and he is looking for work in Ghana. We don't know if they have told their parents or not yet. We do know it is not good for young couples to begin their married life apart...hopefully things will work out quickly for them.
