Simple, but still a home

Elder Bakodie is Elder Jensen's companion and he is from Ghana.   It is nice to have someone with us that can speak twi.   He really knows the scriptures and is a very good teacher.   He liked this baby boy because he said that is what he looked like when he was a child.  He has helped us a lot with communicating with the people here and getting to know their customs.  

 The kids are drawn to Sister Nielson like a magnet, and she always has a bunch of them around her.  Sometimes they are scared of her, just because of the color of her skin and hair.   But it only takes a few seconds before she wins their trust.  This little kid is looking at her and thinking "what or who is holding me?"

This is the house where we were visiting a lady who was the mother of the baby.   Note the solar powered clothes dryer.  Very few of the people in this small village speak any English at all.   We just sit and listen and wonder what Elder Bakodie is saying to them.
