We have been on the Mission for over 9 weeks. The time really flies when you are having fun (or doing the Lord's work). Our internet service has been off and on, our electricity has been off and on, and our schedule has been full, so the blog has been pushed back several times and this one will be very short. We have been helping to get apartments ready for the new missionaries, going to Accra to get the new missionaries (16), and helping get the apartments supplied with the things that they were still lacking. In between, we attend Branch meetings, baptisims and various other duties. We attended two baptisms about two weeks ago on two seperate nights. The baptisms were to start at 6 pm. At 6 pm, the power went off, both nights, so the baptisms were held with the glow of a rechargable light. Also, because they were held in the same building, they just leave the water in the font for the next baptism. Welcome to West Africa. These are one of the groups that got baptized.
We have the responsibility of doing the apartments inspections for our area now. We took the checklist around to all the apartments so they know exactly what we will be liiking for. If they only fail on 1 or less defects, they will get a prize. They are kind of excited about that. One of the places we go to is Nkroful,which is about 1 hr. 45 min. away, so we let them know in advance that when we brought the list, that we would be inspecting their apartment. They passed with a perfect score, so they got their prizes. This is a picture Sister Bybee took on our way back from Nkroful.
Like I said, this blog will be short, so we will sign off for now. May the Good Lord bless each of you as He is blessing us. We love our mission and love doing the work. We miss all of you, but will see you befor we relize where the time went. Love Sister and Elder Bybee
