We spent this past week in the Western Region. We visited and interviewed with most of the missionaries. We get to spend time in Tarkwa closer to Zone conferences. We are so grateful for all the efforts of the missionaries. Miracles happen everyday in our lives and these missionaries are a testimony to all of us of how the Lord needs us to help take the gospel to everyone in the world. "Our message is for Everyone!"

How wonderful it was to attend a baptism on Saturday and see an entire family enter the waters of baptism.  That is what it is all about!  They looked so beautiful all dressed in white!  The next step for them will be to be in the temple together sealed as a family for eternity.  The gospel is the only way.  So grateful to be a part of this great work! 

The week is not quite over because Sunday is always a very busy day. This week we had some new meetings, places to go and lots of interviews! We were blessed to see the church in action. The gospel blesses and changes lives here in Ghana!

On Tuesday we had our "Finishers Wanted" for the October MTC Group 

FINISHERS WANTED - October 2018

Later on Tuesday night we had a training with all the STL's in the mission.  We now have 10 sisters serving and many of them were new!

Lots of training that evening!  We are so proud of the Sisters and the efforts they are making. They are powerful!

We see this form of travel for people and supplies all over Ghana.  

On Friday we headed to the Western Region to begin interviews and attend a few functions. 

We were invited to attend a "Hand off" of one of the church Humanitarian projects in Sansule.  This is a village in the far west of the mission.  The Church provided the supplies to build a welding building for a technical institution. 

President Hillam was asked to give a few remarks and it was easy to talk about welding as he loved to weld back in Idaho. He also talked about how great things will come because of the students desire to learn.  In the background you can see the building that was built.

The students joined in the celebration with dancing.

This is the chief of the village giving a speech in appreciation for what the church provided for the institute.

Official cutting of the ribbon...

We took a tour of the technical institute  and this was one of the classrooms for the business students.  

We had a great representation from the church.  A group from the Humanity Department in Accra came, the District President of Tarkwa, Mission President and wife and these saints from the Axim branch.  These are such wonderful members and we just gave each other big hugs! 

Close to the Institute is a refugee camp.  We drove to it to see another structure the church did for the people in this camp.  It was very interesting for us to drive through the camp. The people were very warm and so pleasant to visit with.  Some have been there for many years.  We met members of the church staying there. They were eager to visit with us.    

Friday night was a Lunar Eclipse. We were down by the ocean.  It was beautiful to see!

This is as the Eclipse was about done but what is cool is the planet to the right was Mars!  It very was bright. 

Saturday we were in Nkroful and Esiama for interviews with Elders Oakey and Hess and also...
