The format was the same as last week (you can see the format and the lessons taught by going to last week's post titled "Ayanfuri". The title of the blog post this … Continue reading Experiencing God’s Love

Human Rights Education
This week we were very happy to receive in Elder Wayne and Sister Marianne Samuelson who joined us on Thursday for what is another one of many firsts for the Ghana Kumasi Mission. The Samuelson's have been called as Human Rights Education Missionaries, although in their role of teaching teachers how to teach Human Rights, … Continue reading Human Rights Education
The Power of Godliness
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
Screeech! 2.0
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

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.

Potholes
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
Preach My Gospel, Second Edition
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
