This Elder is from Nigeria and he is a great missionary. He is a very smooth talker and can talk his way into your heart in no time.
They wanted to plant a garden so we found some good dirt and started to haul it into our flower bed. We planted onions, garlic, and beans and they are doing quite well.
50 lbs of dirt is not problem to carry if you know the secret.
No one told this missionary the secret. The secret is; (don't put too much dirt in the bucket).
The missionaries and the branch president, Elder and Sister Nielson and a new member to the church.
Here is the last of the 4 Elders that was here when we arrived and he is leaving us. His mission is over and he will be going home in a couple of days. I haven't ever met anyone who knows the scriptures as well as he does. I am sure he has read them many many times.
They love to come over to our apartment and make treats. Sister Nielson is the treat master of Ghana. One big problem with missionaries is that you can never make enough treats to fill them up. However they are always very grateful for what they receive.
Elder Bakodie is saying his goodbyes just before we took him to Accra after 2 years of great work. Everyone was sad to see him leave.
We have grown to love him as we do with all the missionaries we come in contact with here. This is not a easy place to be on a mission but I must say that these young men roll up their sleeves, stay the course and do a wonderful job.
This was at the President's home in Accra when we said goodby. We will miss him and want him to know that we will always remember him. So Long.
