Every good story needs an ending, and since this past week was the end of our 3-year call as Mission Leaders in the Ghana Kumasi Mission, an epilogue seems fitting. It was a good week with a few bumps to keep things interesting. Monday and Tuesday were spent reading missionary emails (I knew I would … Continue reading Epilogue

On Monday morning I played golf for the last time in Ghana. Without Elder Pack, I had to play by myself and with my caddie (Emmanuel). A good young man. He has actually visited the Daban Ward a while back. He is a Presbyterian and plays the drums for his church. It had rained a … Continue reading Hannah and Enoch

Much of the material for the instruction came from our Couple's Retreat where we spent about 5 hours talking about these covenants.

This past week (May 13th-19th) was our last set of zone conferences for the transfer. We did all 7 of the Kumasi area zones in three conferences. On Saturday, I attended a Kumasi Coordinating Council Meeting and on Sunday we attended church in the Onwe Branch which is part of the new Ejisu Stake. It … Continue reading Onwe

This title of our post this week is taken from this week's letter to the missionaries. There is so much to be said about this topic. I think the first and most important aspect of looking forward with an eye of faith is when we understand and apply scriptural truths in our own lives. This … Continue reading Eyes of Faith

It took 18 months beyond the original completion date, but it finally happened. The Tamale District Center was completed and on May 5, 2024 it was dedicated.
