Over the weekend we traveled to Sunyani, leaving Saturday morning at 6:30 am and returning around 4:00 pm on Sunday. The event was the Sunyani District Conference. The title of the blog is taken from the strong impression I had as the counselor in the District Presidency, Benjamin Kittson-Mills was reading the names of those … Continue reading The Power of Godliness

We had hoped that we would never have a 2.0 version of our first Screeech! post back on April 12, 2022. Fortunately for us, this one was not as severe, although the damage to our Fortuner will still take some time to repair. Fortunately, with two of our senior couples returning home, we have access … Continue reading Screeech! 2.0

This was a week primarily of interviews and the coming and going of off-transfer missionaries. Let me explain. I will come back to the title of this week's blog at the end. The Samuelson's Early Monday afternoon, we met Jude Jonfiah (mission facilities manager) at the new apartment we are acquiring for the Samuelson's. They … Continue reading The Details

On Sunday, July 30th, we arose early and drove the two hours to Bibiani. We arrived just after 8:30 am. The occasion was the formation of the Hwenampori Branch. Explaining the pronunciation of this new unit is a bit difficult. It is a very light "shw" sound at the beginning represented by the Hw (Shwen-am-poor-ee). … Continue reading Hwenampori

It has been 18 months since we were last in Wa. It is the most difficult trip we make and so we tend to avoid it more than we should. Wa is our only remaining mission branch and it is far away from everywhere else we go. Last year, President Joseph Asante, my second counselor … Continue reading Potholes

Last week, I mentioned that we had 200 black and white copies (with a color cover) printed of the Preach My Gospel manual, second edition. I affectionately refer to it as PMG II. This last week we received an email asking for the number, sizes and languages of the printed version that we will need. … Continue reading Preach My Gospel, Second Edition

As we finished up our last full day of interviews on Wednesday, I forgot to give the four elders who live in Juaso their locally printed copies of Preach of My Gospel, second edition. We had 200 of the manuals printed to use with the mission until we receive the official printed versions from Church … Continue reading Atwedie

Today was a first for us and a first for the entire Ghana Kumasi Mission. Today we dedicated the new Duayaw Nkwanta Meetinghouse, something I have never done before. It was a first for the Mission because this is our first non-District Center that the Church built and owns. We usually just lease a building … Continue reading Dedication Day

What an amazing experience the Ghana Kumasi Mission had on June 12, 2023. Elder Gerrit W. Gong, his wife Susan Lindsay Gong, Elder S. Gifford Nielsen and his wife Wendy Olson Nielsen joined our 191 young missionaries and 4 senior missionary couples in a 1 hour and 45 minute devotional. In addition to that, the … Continue reading Apostolic Witness
