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.

The title of the blog is indicative of two major storylines this week. The most important is the Kingdom rolling forth. On Sunday, we attended the Nkoransa Ward in the Bantama Stake where our mission driver, Alex Cobbina, is the Bishop and has been for 9 years.
