On November 21 2021, we made a post titled simply "Kwanwoma". It tells the story of our first visit to what was then only a Group which was part of the Daban ward. On July 26, 2022, just over a month ago, we made another post, this time titled the "100 Meter Box". I mentioned … Continue reading The Miracle of Kwanwoma

The picture for this post is a painting by Nicholas Strohm titled "Path to Normalcy". It is a photograph, but has been edited to look like an oil painting. It is an area near Yorkshire where he loves to run. You can see more of his art here. I found him while looking for a … Continue reading Normalcy

The topic of this week's blog actually has reference to instruction that the Assistants have been providing first at our Mission Leadership Council and then at each of our Zone Conferences. Overcoming Concerns of someone we are teaching is paramount in the conversion process. Teaching 19-25 year olds how to help someone overcome a concern … Continue reading Overcoming Concerns

The title to this weeks post might seem a bit strange to the reader. We didn't spend a week on the hills of Ghana (although there are plenty). The title stemmed from my most recent letter to the missionaries that I write each week and send them on Sunday night. To fully understand it you … Continue reading A Week on the Hills

Trying to figure out a title for this weeks post is not easy. While much of the week was just a normal transfer week, there were some tough days mixed in. First the "outs". We sent 9 of our stellar missionaries home on Tuesday morning. They were all leaders and great missionaries. We will miss … Continue reading Ins and Outs, Ups and Downs

Last Tuesday, I was able to spend 3 hours with the Assistants in their area. It is called Kwanwoma. This is an area started earlier by Elder Binene and Elder Yancey, and each of my Assistants have continued to work there. It started with a member (Sister Konadu) inviting people to her house to learn … Continue reading 100 Meter Box

Some of you may have seen the stunning new pictures that were sent back to earth from the James Webb telescope. It is the next generation space telescope replacing the Hubble telescope. The pictures it is sending back to earth are nothing less than stunning. We love them because they show the grandeur and magnitude … Continue reading Becoming

While this week was consumed with travel to the North to complete the last two zone conferences and interviews for 58 missionaries, we managed to get back to Sunyani on our way home from Tamale on Saturday, July 9th and train the District Relief Society and Primary presidencies, along with a few branch leaders as … Continue reading New Organizational Leader Training

On July 1, 2012, the Ghana Kumasi was officially established. President Leon A. and Sister Elizabeth G. Holmes from South Africa were called as the first mission leaders. It was our honor to have President and Sister Holmes with us on Zoom in a mission-wide devotional on Friday, July 1st to celebrate this milestone. They … Continue reading 10 Years Strong

Adams Agyare On Saturday, Elder Garrison and I made a trip to Obuasi to extend callings and releases to the old and the new District Presidencies. Several weeks ago, LaDawn and I visited the Tabi's in their home and extended the call to serve as the Obuasi District President. This of course meant a release … Continue reading United Presidency
