The mission has undergone just a few changes this past week. The world has undergone changes this past week! In the mission we have now said goodbye to Brazilians, Ivorians, New Zealander, and Americans. That makes a total of 60. We also welcomed 25 missionaries to the mission. As the Americans left this week it began to rain and that was adding to the many tears being shed by the missionaries. They left companions who they loved, members who they had come to know and love and people they were helping to come unto Christ. Feelings and emotions are just to hard to explain. We are so grateful to have the rest of the missionaries still here. They are wonderful and will continue to "pick up the sword" and fight on. We know through faith, prayers, and revelation that the missionary work will go on in the Ghana Cape Coast Mission. We already had a transfer yesterday to reorganize and this next week we will be thinking outside the box on creative ways to do the work!

Assistants Elders Effiong, Traveller, Apostol, Elliott, Kaufusi

It has taken and will take the entire team to reorganize but it is going great!  We will do it!

Mission Life has changed this past week in so many ways. The week began somewhat normal, with interviews, and then the group calls, emails, texts and phone calls began. The Ghana Cape Coast Mission is in the changing stages. We said Good-bye to Elder and Sister Gardner. We pulled a couple of all nighters to send missionaries on their way home only to have one group come back. Many tears have been shed with our missionaries. This definitely has been a week to listen and to follow our leaders. We pray for each of you and your families. We know that we have been so blessed and we pray a safe return home to all of our missionaries!

Elder and Sister Gardner served in the Tarkwa District.  We want to thank them with all our heart for changing people's lives and for the love and support we have felt from them.  Safe Travels.  We love you!

Our wonderful couples of the mission-Sorensens, Gardners and Archibalds!  We are so grateful for all your continued love and support and help through this time with the Coronavirus.

Our First group scheduled to fly...so they thought?

Final thoughts from President Hillam




The group left at 4 am and by the time some came in from outer parts of the mission, the Elders just grabbed a mattress pad and slept for a few hours in the Insitute Building.




Well this group left but only 4 got on planes.  After an all night and an all day...they came back!



We also started to receive our Ghanaian Missionaries coming to the Ghana Cape Coast Mission from all over Africa! 


Sunday Morning our Ivorians left by bus at 4 am and picked up others along the way to cross the boarder before it was closing tonight at midnight!

Our Brazilians, Elders Aquino and Barreto left early this morning to get their flights and they were able to board!

The first American left at 3:30 pm to make 11 pm flights.  They all cleared customs and are on their way!  

Let us know when you get home!  


We want everyone in the mission to know we love you.  How grateful we are to each of you here and at your homes for your love and support.  We feel the love of our Heavenly Father!
