This post will cover the two week period from March 6th - March 19th. It was within these two weeks that we held our 16th set of zone conferences. We don't really have a theme for each conference, only a series of instructions that we feel are what the missionaries need to hear. Since we … Continue reading Building Blocks

The Spirit of Prophecy
This blog post covers the period of February 26 - March 4. I am late posting it because the subsequent week was our busy travel week to the North. On Monday morning the office elders, the Assistants and the Aboabo Elders, Tom Rogers and I gathered for some games of basketball at the mission office. … Continue reading The Spirit of Prophecy
Priesthood Power
There is no better title for this week's blog post. On Sunday, I attended a meeting in Accra with Elder D. Todd Christopherson, Elder Paul V. Johnson and Elder Alfred Kyungu (Elder Kyungu is in our Area Presidency). In attendance were all of the stake, district, and mission presidents from Ghana, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. … Continue reading Priesthood Power
The Unweek
This post is for the week of February 13th - 19th. Due to the sensitivity of the events of the week, we will not post it on Facebook. We really struggled to find a title for last week's blog. We finally decided on the title of "The Unweek" because it ties into the scripture that … Continue reading The Unweek
Andy and Me….Again
In July of 2021, we published a post titled, "Andy". It was an experience I had with a man who was having an epileptic seizure on a very busy road. Now almost 19 months later, we meet Andy once again. On Wednesday we made our interview trip out to Nkawkaw, Juaso, and Konongo. We finished … Continue reading Andy and Me….Again

In an effort to expedite the building of the temple, a decision was taken by the Ghana Kumasi Coordinating … Continue reading Temple Fast
On to the Next…
This week we began our next round of zone conferences. The title of this blogpost was the theme of this round of conferences. This was a theme selected by the Assistants based on the needs of the mission. The focus of the instruction covered the effective use of our time. There were five main headlines … Continue reading On to the Next…
Yesterday Once More
In 1973, the Carpenters released a song titled "Yesterday Once More". I must have listened to that album 100 times that summer of 1973. And while the song had to do with listening to "old songs" on the radio, there are a few lines that we can apply to this week. Those were such happy … Continue reading Yesterday Once More
Sunyani
On Sunday we drove the 2 hours 10 minutes to Sunyani where we participated in a branch conference. We left Kumasi at 6:30 am and arrived at 8:40 am. The traffic was light, but just over half way there we encountered quite a bit of dense fog. Not that unusual for this time of year, … Continue reading Sunyani
Righteous Use of Technology
This post covers Jan 2-8, 2023. We had transfers this week and that means it has been very busy. Today is Friday, January 13, and things have finally slowed down enough to get this post written. The week before transfers is when we finish interviews with the missionaries and schedule meetings over Zoom because we … Continue reading Righteous Use of Technology
