Missionary life

This is a photo of the Mission home where we go to work each day.  There are many office responsibilities as the office couple. Every day is a new adventure and there's never a dull moment. Maybe as I become more adept to the work expected of me, it'll smooth out bit. One can hope anyway. Elder Halladay on the other hand has been worth his weight in gold in keeping all the computers up and running among other things. He's very good at what he does.



We have Missionaries coming and going most any day of the week. Some are there for meetings and others are arriving for the first time or leaving to go home.  

These two are companions. Aren't they lovely girls?
Can you see the light in their eyes?
These two Sisters were helping in the kitchen and the office while waiting for their flights to depart for home.  We so appreciated their help.

Elders Bishop, Lund, Robinson, Mathebe and Zulu.  This was a celebration dinner at the Nobel House restaurant for Elder Mathebe who was going home, Elder Lund who was being transferred and Elder Zulu who was just called as an AP.  They all ate until the food was gone.  Missionaries never turn down a good meal!

 
Sister Cosgrave with Sister Patrick and Sister Miselo on transfer day.

 How many men does it take to hang a heavy wood shelf?....Many hands make lighter the load.  Elder Lund got tired of holding his arms up so decided to hold up his end on his head.  True to Ghanaian form.  :)

This is Elder and Sister Barney who left us last month to return home from their mission after serving as the Nurse and housing coordinator.  Elder Udoh and Elder Botha trained us in our office duties.  


Now that all the guests are gone, we can kick back and lick the beaters!  Wish you were here Elder Mathebe!

  2. I want to say thank you for this wonderful blog! My son, Elder Robinson, is serving with you in Ghana right now and the bits and pieces I have learned about the culture there is fascinating! This blog does an amazing job of putting pictures with the stories I have been told, and showing me so much more! Thank you for sharing! ~Polly Robinson
