Week of 26 June 2017

We had some exciting things happen this week.  Since they were painting the mission home, President and Sister Stevenson moved over to the Ridge Royal Hotel.  Anyway, the assistants went over Monday to do their laundry in the mission home.  When they went back to change it to the dryer, the room was filled with suds and water.  They mopped up for about 45 mins.  The painters had moved the washing machines to paint behind them, but forgot to put the drain hose back in the drain pipe when they moved them back.  I should have taken a picture.  It was quite funny.

The last Zone Conference was held on Tuesday and all of the new trainers and new missionaries came in on Wednesday.  It was a busy week for the Stevensons.

Friday afternoon they left for Accra to pick up our new president - President Hillam and his wife.
Saturday, we went over to the mission home to meet the Hillams.  Awesome people.  They will do a wonderful job here.

We had a sign made for them so they would fill at home immediately.  

Old and new.


The Assistants thought it would be nice to have a painting done for the Stevensons.  Here's how it turned out.


We had to get in the picture, too.  Elders Young and Warner.

All 200 missionaries are accounted for.  Plus the senior couples and president and wife in front.  The Stevensons loved it.

We had lunch at the mission home on Sunday and then drove the Stevensons to the airport.  It was good to sit and talk with them.  They will be missed.

We got to the airport in plenty of time and stayed with them until about 7:00 pm,  then they went upstairs to wait for their flight.

Just chillin' at the airport.

We spent the night in Accra and headed for the Cape in the morning.  It's going to be interesting for a little while.  The Hillam's have so many questions.  But you can also fill the excitement in the air!

That's it for now.

Love and miss you all.
