Dedication of the GHANA MTC/Mission President Seminar

Tuesday was incredible.  We were able to attend the dedication of the MTC.  Elder Bednar was here and the spirit was so strong.  It was such a great experience to be with the other 15 Mission Presidents and Wives from the Africa West Area.  Following the dedication in the morning we spent the afternoon in training and discussion with Elder Bednar.  We are so grateful to be led by a prophets, seers and revelators!

We were able to take a tour of the MTC.  Some of us decided to take the stairs instead of the elevator.  The door was locked when we got to the 3rd floor.  They stuck a key under the door but it did not work.  We turned around and went back down only to find it locked at the bottom too!  We had a great laugh and they did come and rescue us!  

This just made for even a better Tuesday.  We got to eat lunch with all our missionaries that will be arriving to our mission in about 10 days!  It was so much fun!  

We took pictures at both ends of the table because the Ghana Cape Coast Missionaries filled the entire 3 tables.  We are excited to be welcoming 20 new missionaries.  They had only just arrived to the MTC.   4 days! (Our French speakers have been there for 2 weeks) 

On fun thing we did while in Accra was to take a tour of a large castle built for commerce and trade.  It is in the resortaion stage. 

Dining Room.  The Preisident of Ghana and Forengn Dignitaries would come to visit. They had to have a nice place to dine! 

The structure sits right on the ocean.  The scenery was gorgeous.  Especially just as the sun was going down. 




This is a tunnel that leads from the market area to the castle.  It had branches off it that led to large estates.  

One evening they had some special entertainment...African Style!


MTC President and Wife.  We love President and Sister Brubaker. 

President and Sister Cosgrave from the Kumasi Mission.
The Mission President Seminar was a time to be instructed by our leaders.  We were so blessed to hear their counsel, excitement and testimony of this great work we are all involved in.  How grateful we are to be a part of this special time for Africa!
