Please meet our new but very close friends, Elder and Sister Wall from Bountiful, Utah. They arrived in Ghana a week before we got here. They were very helpful and eager to show us around and get us started in our new life here in Africa. We spent a lot of time with them for the first week or so of our mission. We had a truck and they didn't have theirs yet so we shared the one we had. They are the office couple and their jobs are very intense and they are very busy all the time. They take care of all the money for the mission as well as purchasing all of the things that are needed for the missionaries apartments. Since the mission was split right after they arrived, a ton of work was dumped into their laps. I don't think that they have much time to relax or enjoy life outside of the office. However the Lord could have not picked a better couple to undertake this overwhelming job. If something is needed they find it, if you have a question they have an answer. We were invited over to their home for dinner one night and it was a real treat to be with them.
We went out one day and we ran across this stand where they were selling ground nuts (peanuts). You could pick the ones with the skin on or off. They were all roasted. These nuts are very good and we have them in our house all the time. Very good treat to munch on. In a place which is so far away from home and so different from what we are used to it is a blessing to have such good friends to visit with and sometimes share experiences. We are in the bush and they are in the city and we are separated by about 40 miles. But we do get to town once in a while when the ground nuts run low.
