<i><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">Move to Ridgefield, Washington in 2016</span></u></i></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Many of you know that we did sell our house in Sequim to make our move to the Vancouver Washington area, so that we can be near our daughter Audra and her family. It was a lot of work to get things packed up and to make the move, but all went well. We have been settling in and little by little, we are getting organized. The ward here has been very welcoming and friendly, but we do miss our dear friends in Sequim, etc. Oh well, life does have changes when we least expect them. </span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">We have included a few pictures of our new house and neighborhood. Enjoy. </span></h2>
<div>
<i><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">Neighborhood</span></u></i></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">neighborhood is a very nice one, but most of the houses are several stories tall. We finally found a house that was on one level. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Ours is the blue/green house. The street is quite wide, but is very quiet and has very little traffic because we are at the top of the hill. The neighbors have been very friendly, and we have met many of them. There are quite a few retired people living here, but we do have a few younger families.</span><br />

<i><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">Outside of home</span></u></i></h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">It was a challenge to find a house with minimum yard maintenance. This one fit the bill. As you can see, we have a giant rock garden, which needs very little mowing :) We were pleased to find a three car garage, because we have so much "stuff" to store, and this worked out fine.</span><br />

<i><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">Main Bathroom</span></u></i></h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">There is a beautiful bathroom with a big tiled shower, a real "water closet" and a jetted tub, which is very nice after unpacking boxes all day. The only strange thing is that the fireplace is in the bedroom, but also visible from the bathtub. We try not to let workmen come through when someone is in the tub.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We have one other bedroom, that isn't set up as yet. We hope to have it done soon.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We are finally getting some of our pictures hung up, so it is beginning to feel like home. We are starting to enjoy being here, as we meet more and more nice people. The weather has been very mild, and that has been nice. Ridgefield is a small town about the size of Sequim, but we have to drive a little distance to find the bigger stores like Costco and Home Depot, etc. Church is about 20 minutes away, so that isn't too bad. All in all, we are getting settled in and hope to NEVER MOVE AGAIN! We do miss our family and friends who don't live close, so please come visit us. This is a beautiful part of the country.</span><br />

It was a long trip home from Africa, but we arrived safely. Audra and David picked us up from the airport and drove us back to Sequim. Audra had filled the cupboards full of all sorts of food and goodies, so we wouldn't have to starve. We put it all to good use. We miss our dear friends in Ghana, but we are glad to be back home.</div>

We did get to visit in Sequim, with Susan and Daniel for a short time and that was nice. We were able to see other family members, who came to Dan's father-in-laws Ken's funeral. We were sad to loose him, but happy to see so many people honor him. </div>

<i><u>Dinner with Mitchell's in March</u></i></h2>
<div>
Back home in Sequim, we had a family dinner at our house. We didn't know then, that we would soon be packing up and moving. With Amber and family moving to Rexburg, Idaho, we decided to sell the house and move near Vancouver Washington, to be close to Audra and family. We put the house on the market and it sold in 2 days at full price, so took that as an answer that we should make the move. </div>

<i><u>April - Utah Trip</u></i></h2>
<div>
We went to Utah for General Conference and to see family and friends, both in Utah and Idaho. We got to visit the Robisons and pick up some of the boxes that they shipped home for us from Africa.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
It is always wonderful to be at General Conference and feel the sweet spirit there. While walking around the conference center, someone called out to us. It was one of our returned missionaries from Africa, who had come to conference. It is a small world, that's for sure.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We also attended a mission reunion for the West Indies and were able to see President Gamiette. He is always so much fun and we cherish the time we served with him. We love visiting and sharing memories from our missions.</div>

<i><u><br />Packing up furniture to move to Ridgefield</u></i></h2>

The day finally came for the movers to pack up the furniture. We were surprise that they could get everything into the van, but they did. The new house we were buying hadn't closed as yet, but the owner let us move all our furniture into the house ahead of the closing, so that was nice. </div>

<i><u>June = </u></i><i><u>Packing up for U-Haul move &</u></i><i><u>New owners move in</u></i></h2>
<div>
The house finally closed and we packed up all the rest of the stuff into boxes. The ward priesthood brethren, including the Bishop, came and helped put it all into the UHaul truck we rented. The UHaul place had a bunch of malmroses in front of their office, so we took a picture of them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The new owners, the Clarks, were very happy to be able to move into the house and have made it their home in every way. We are pleased that such nice folks bought it and will take good care of it. It was bitter sweet for us to leave a place we had been so happy in, but we are off to a new adventure. </div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">A daddy daughter moment to share.</span></h2>
<h2>
<i><u><br />July = Grandson Isaak returns from mission field</u></i></h2>
<div>
Isaak returned from his mission and we couldn't believe how much he had grown, in every way. His grandpa said he is not allowed to be taller than grandpa, but he didn't listen. Time marches on and we just get older. <br />
<br /></div>
<div>
It was fun to share his mission memories. We attended his Sacrament meeting talk, and the same day we talked in our new Ridgefield ward and they came to our talk. Families are so wonderful, and we love each of them, even if they grow up.</div>

<h2>
<i><u>Welcome 2016. </u></i></h2>
Because the MTC was closed for a short time, we attended the ward that meets on the property. We meet this sweet couple, a brother and his younger sister, and talked with them. We decided we wanted to know more about them, so we invited them to dinner. They are not members of the Church as yet, but are very interested. He attends a tech school and was home for the holiday break. She is still in high school. We had a great visit with them and hope to keep in touch from time to time. I have to say, I was a bit surprised that they both had red hair. I asked him where they got it and he said it was from his grandfather. Genetics are such fun, even in Africa. Thanks grandpa.<br />

<h2>
<i><u>Special Branch President</u></i></h2>
We attended the temple with our missionaries and met some very nice local members. This brother is severely handicapped but is a great example of someone who has learned to cope with his circumstances. We met his wife as well. He serves as a local branch president and has a great, friendly personality. His handicap makes it necessary to crawl around on his knees, but it doesn't seem to slow him down physically or emotionally. We can all learn from this good brother.<br />

<u><b><i><br /></i></b><b><i>Building Window Cleaning</i></b></u></h3>
We live on the 3rd story of the MTC building. They sent up a window washer to clean our windows the other day. I was impressed with his ability, but it made me a bit nervous to see him hanging out the window without a safety belt on. We are such wimps! Oh well, all is well that ends well. I have clean windows now and didn't have to take him to the hospital.<br />

<i><u>Senior Couples Pot Luck luncheon</u></i></h2>
A highlight of our month was the couple "thank you" pot luck meal given in honor of our MTC President and Sister Robison's wonderful efforts during their mission here. They head home very soon, and we will miss them. The only thing that makes it bearable is the fact that we leave shortly after them and our dear fiends, Dr. and Sister Hill are close behind us. Maybe we can get through the next few weeks with that in mind. We will truly miss them and the other wonderful friends we have made here. It's like we want to go home, but we don't want to leave.<br />

This is one of the last groups of missionaries that we will see, before we head for home. We shared a nice devotional with them and Elder Patch and his wife, on Sunday. The missionary singing was great, as usual. We will truly miss the enthusiastic singing that they do here.<br />

The new MTC continues to grow. It is situated by a Stake Center building, on temple square. This shows only part of the buildings that are being built. It is quite a complex of buildings that will house from 350 to 500 missionaries. We won't see it completed, but will keep watching for the dedication. It looks like it will be super nice. The Church is growing in west Africa, faster than any place in the world.</div>

<i><u><br />Robisons' Departure</u></i></h2>
The time was fast approaching for the Robisons, to head home. We all enjoyed meeting the new MTC President Brubaker and his wife Rebecca. The Brubakers had only one day of training, and then we had to say goodbye to our dear Robisons. Having served so closely for 18 months and seeing each other almost every single day, we became good friends, now and forever, that's for sure. It was also a signal that we would be going home soon.<br />

They say, whoever "they" are, that time flies on wings, and so it seems as we enter the last month of this year. Truly, the time is flying by as we approach the holiday season. </div>

<div>
Our new group has arrived, and it is one of the largest groups we have ever had. We are at full capacity and some of the American missionaries had to be sent to the Provo MTC, rather than to us because of space limitations. Now we know why the Church is building a much bigger MTC in Accra. We won't see it finished, but we have been watching it grow. The Lord's work is truly expanding here in Africa.<br />

While we were at the temple, one of the Elders whom Elder Malmrose had helped do some of his family history, had grandparents that he wanted to have temple work done. He asked us to stand in as proxy for his grandparents at the sealing, and we did so. From then on, he called us "Grandpa and Grandma". It was a privilege to do it for him.<br />

<i><u>Apartment Fridge Display</u></i></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We make the best use of our small space here in the apartment, so the fridge gets lots of use. We have pictures not only on the front, but on the sides as well. Just a little reminder of home and how much we miss our family.</div>

<i>Two Week Break</i></h2>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
After departures this time, we have a two week break that is scheduled for maintenance, until just before Christmas. This is the time that some of the senior couples take a break and travel or go home for a short time. The Robisons decided to go to France and see their many friends. They had to leave just before the missionaries were scheduled to depart, so they asked Elder Malmrose to conduct the Farewell Meeting. This last group has been a fun and enthusiastic group, as well as a very large number, as we were at full capacity. This made the program of each district singing a farewell song for the group, quite an experience. We have never heard such enthusiasm in singing the songs of Zion. What fun to share these precious moments with these wonderful young saints.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We stayed in the MTC for most of the time, but did plan a short few days away to see some of the sights that we had not as yet seen. Our dear friends the Sanders, invited us to go with them to a place called Ho. We thought it was appropriate to visit a place with such a name, at this time of year. It is a four hour drive north of where we live. We were able to drive through many small villages and towns to see the "bush". It is somewhat of a contrast to the city we live in. The houses are simpler, some made of concrete and others made of mud with thatch roofs. Even in the smaller villages, the people seem to be busy selling and doing things to keep busy. They are an industrious people, and that's good to see.<br />
<br />
The hotel we stayed in, is a brand new one that sits up on the hillside and overlooks the city. It was clean, since we are one of the first to stay in it, and that was nice. This time of year, the air is very hazy, something like smog. It blows down from the deserts up north. <br />

We joined up with our senior couple friends, the Bodines, who are serving in the area. They too, are lots of fun. On our way up to a waterfall, we stopped at the young missionaries house. The little branch meets here too, but they are in the process of finding a new place to meet. <br />

We drove up to hike to the beautiful waterfall. It was quite a hike, but well worth the effort. You probably can't tell from the picture, but there were hundreds of bats flying and hanging around on the left side of the waterfall.<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">Now, on to the monkey preserve. These cute little creatures were waiting for us humans to bring them some bananas, so we obliged. For some reason, they liked the men better than the women. Gerald wanted to pet them, but they usually just grabbed the banana and jumped away. They wouldn't even take the fruit from me. They must have been females. All in all, we had a lot of fun just watching them play around. What cute faces they have. They look like someone drew eyeglasses around their eyes. They seem almost human.</span></div>

It was a lot of fun to see these cute little creatures.<br />
<br />
We stopped on the way back, at one of the members houses, where she has a bakery. She provides a lot of bread for the people to sell around the area. As you can imagine, the place smelled delightful. She has quite a thriving business and for good reason. They gave us a sample and it was delicious.<br />

While we were sitting around, this little boy came up and adopted Gerald. When we were ready to leave, the little boy didn't want him to go. I guess he misses his grandpa. Monkeys and children, all like Gerald.<br />

Of course, we have to give them the little gift, but the Sander's made it fun for them by inviting Santa and Mrs. Claus along, They gave them a little lollipop for their bravery. It was almost worth it.<br />

Doctor and Sister Hill had their family visiting with them, so they brought them out to meet us. Because of the distance, not too many of our families get this chance. They said they are having a wonderful visit here in Ghana. Neat experiences for them to share with their friends at home.<br />

<i><u>Christmas Eve Traditions</u></i></h2>
Christmas Eve, we had a fun evening with the missionaries. They presented some of their Christmas traditions from the many different countries around Africa such as Congo, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Nigeria, South Africa, Togo, Uganda, and even, of all places, the USA. Gerald presented them with his family tradition where his Dad always had them listen to "My Birthday Comes on Christmas", and he played the video from last year where he lip-synced and danced to the song. They roared with pleasure<br />

As a gift from the MTC, they gave the missionaries a new journal and an MTC tee-shirt. They are always thankful of any gifts they get. Many of them come from rather poor circumstances, and they really do appreciate it, when others are thoughtful to them. They changed into their sports clothes and wore their new tees and played some fun games during the morning and early afternoon. <br />

After that, they changed back into their missionary clothes and had an early dinner before a live broadcast devotional from Elder Bednar from the Provo MTC, which was broadcast to the Chili and Ghana MTCs. But, the highlight of the missionaries day, was that they got to call their families back home.<br />
<br />
That was the highlight of our day too. Audra, David and Maggie Skyped us, and we got to see them face to face. They will be picking us up when we fly home on February 1st, but who is counting. We do miss our family and friends, but it won't be long now.<br />
<br />
So, for our Christmas Greeting, here is a picture of one of the neat African Nativities. They don't celebrate as much as we do in the States, but they do have their neat traditions.<br />

At the end of October, we helped with the "glasses for Ghana" project. Some members from Utah bring thousands of glasses along with their expertise, to examine and give the people the glasses they need. They stay all week and work very hard, and help out many folks that would not have the opportunity to be able to see and read properly. Can you imagine the organization that goes into an event like this?<br />
<br />
The patients come from the wards and branches all over the area, and the glasses are matched with a prescription the doctors have given them. They line up for hours, to be blessed with this opportunity. It was quite a day for all of us. We take so much for granted, don't we!<br />

Sister Bednar held a special little meeting with some of us senior sisters, during what is usually scripture study class. I was blessed to attend and spend some extra time with our dear friends the Sanders, who drove me around and made it possible for me to attend. What wonderful friends. We sat around the table with Sister Bednar and asked her questions. I asked the first question about how she makes time in her busy life, for herself, her husband and her family. She gave us some good ideas on how to make sure that we don't neglect ourselves or our family. It was nice to visit with her and the other sisters in such an informal setting. As she was walking out, I was next to her and I took my bead necklace off, that I had made that week, and put it around her neck. She seemed pleased. I thought that she would like a little souvenir, from the missionaries in Ghana.<br />

The senior couples and the area presidency, had a farewell dinner for the newly released Accra temple presidency. It was a sweet evening of testimony and goodbyes. We welcome President and Sister Graham as our new temple president and wife. President Graham served as a past MTC president; so it will be nice to share some experiences with him.<br />

Our Thursday devotional was with Elder Stanfill and his wife from Montana. He is the newest member of the Area Presidency. It is neat to get to know these folks and hear their sweet testimonies of the Savior.</div>

Then, for a special treat, we had an additional Devotional with our new Temple President Graham and his wife. As I was talking with him, I learned that he grew up in Rigby, Idaho during the time that I spent many summers there visiting my family, the Eckersells. That was fun.</div>

We said our goodbyes to almost all of these missionaries. We keep the 6 week language missionaries for two more weeks. In March of next year, there will be a change. Instead of the 11 days we have to train the non-language missionaries; they will stay for a full 3 weeks.</div>

<i><u>Time to Dye</u></i></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They make many interesting and bright fabrics here, as you can see from our pictures. There is a dye shop across the street from the MTC, where they actually do the process. Several of the senior sisters came with us to give it a try. The owners showed us how, and then let us do some of our own work. It was labor intensive, but turned out very nice.</div>

This man is making the sponges that we used to imprint the design on the fabric. Then we dyed it by hand and dried it out in the sun. No electricity anywhere in the process. <br />

The senior couples were invited to share Thanksgiving dinner with the Area Presidency and other staff. They served a delicious turkey dinner with all, and I mean all, the trimmings.

October</u></i></h2>

We are off and running once more. This cycle, we have many missionaries from the U.S., and that is unusual. We love them all, no matter where they come from. Our missionaries come from such places as Liberia, Ethiopia, Benin, Madagascar, Burundi, Kenya, S. Africa, Tonga and Samoa, and Utah of all places. The important thing is, we all share the gospel culture. <br />
<br />
They arrive at different times during two days. We check them in, take copies of their papers and do a medical history. Then, they have an interview with the Robisons. You can tell from these pictures in our office, what a fun group these missionaries are.<br />

<i><u>MTC Staff</u></i></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
People don't realize how much work goes into running the MTC. We have a great staff who do the planning, a kitchen and cleaning staff who work behind the scenes, and inspired teaching staff, who do a great deal of the training. It is much like a very nice college dorm, but we change "students" every two or six weeks, not every semester. This is truly a very busy place.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This new group of missionaries is the smallest number of missionaries we have had. They are added to the six week language missionaries, who are still in training. Even with that, we still have a small, but nice group. It does seem a little quieter around here, but we still are enjoying them. It is the calm before the storm, for we have large groups scheduled to come in November.</div>

<i><u>VISITORS from HOME</u></i></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">We had a little diversion this month. The daughter of our friends, the Knudsens, Kylee Farnsworth, has been in contact with us to find out about living in Ghana. Her husband has been offered a position to work here in Accra for the next two years. They have three young boys, and she had concerns. After her investigation, they decided to make the move. They arrived here and are getting settled. She served a mission with President and Sister Robison's son, so she was anxious to meet them. She and her beautiful family came to the MTC, and we all went out to lunch together, the Robisons, the Hills with us and them. </span></div>

Joe was born on October 14, 1941. He has been a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. And I am happy to have him in our family.<br />
<br />
I am attaching this video as part of our birthday wish, but it is not related. A number of months ago one of the missionary teachers at our MTC asked me to video a teaching experience where I represented someone who is coming back to the church. So I decided to be Gerald Brandenburg. So I am sending you a copy as part of your birthday wish.<br />
<br />
<h2>
<i>
Happy birthday, Joe ! We send you our love.</i></h2>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Lorna and I went to a cultural activity at our local ward next to our MTC. Early in the video taping, you will see us taking a video clip of the presentation. Later in the video you will also see some brief discussions with Bishop James Ewudzie and Doctor Emanuel Kissi. Both are friends and are pioneers on the founding of the church in Ghana in the late 1970s.</span></h3>

The fall has arrived, and we again welcome new missionaries. Our dear senior missionaries always come to help us get these newbies registered and started on their family history. It is an exciting time for all of us, as we get acquainted with these sweet, dedicated new missionaries. They are a little bit like deer with headlights in their eyes, but that doesn't last long. We can't imagine why they would be frightened of our teacher, David Acquaye, just because he wears a Dracula cape.<br />

<span style="text-align: left;"><u>Evans' Wedding</u></span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">One of the kitchen staff named Evans adu Boateng, invited us to his wedding. Here, they often have a cultural wedding, then a ceremony in the Church and then a sealing in the Temple. We had never been to the first of these, so we were delighted for the cultural experience. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">We traveled several hours for the first part of the ceremony, which was held in the bride's cultural village. Her family are not members of the Church. The trip itself was interesting, because we got to see the area outside of the city we live in. This area is in the mountains and quite beautiful with green hillsides and villages along the way.</span></div>

As we walked to the house where the ceremony was held, I took a few pictures of the neighborhood folks.</div>

While we were waiting for things to start, I walked around and these ladies wanted their picture taken with the "obrunie" lady (white lady). This happens a lot. They don't even know me, but they want to be in the picture.<br />

We went with our MTC friend Cyril Mensah plus the lovely wife and darling little boy of our MTC manager Patrick and one of the instructors. Cyril is a Bishop, so he was asked to do part of the traditional ceremony and then later the wedding at the Chapel.<br />

At first, we sat in the chairs under the canopy, in the yard of the house. I took a few pictures of the preparations going on, and pictures of some of the guests. I didn't get much of a picture of the house, only the yard, out buildings and porch area. The house seemed quite nice and was built from concrete, but I didn't see inside.<br />

This may be a 2nd world country, but that doesn't mean that the little kids don't know about cell phones. His mom gave him a cell phone, to have something to play with. I saw her hand him the cell phone, and he worked on it until he got it turned on and he used his little thumbs to point and try to make it work. There was no signal, but he liked the noise it made anyway. He isn't even two years old yet.</div>

And now the negotiations began between the chiefs of the bride with the chief of the groom. It was all in their native language, so we didn't understand much of the words, but we got the idea. Fortunately, a young woman who sat next to us explained what was going on. I could tell from what she said that she was a member of the Church and was very helpful. Tradition here is that the groom offers certain gifts and money to show that he can care for his new bride, and it is called "Bride Price". The custom still prevails, but many are trying to get away from it as they modernize. The negotiations went back and forth for some time and finally the deal was struck. It took several hours. </div>

The walk home was beautiful until Gerald stepped across a drainage ditch and reached back to help me across, and he fell into the concrete wall. He hurt his legs very badly, but didn't break anything, which is surprising for how hard he hit. He is slowly recovering, but it will be several weeks before the bruising goes away. Lesson learned, don't help your wife.</div>

<i><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">Shot Day</span></u></i></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Shot day seems to roll around so quickly and before we know it, we are giving the immunizations again. It's one of the few things they don't like about being here, but a necessary one. We do try to make it fun for them. We always have the Sisters come in first and the Elders wait in the hall for their turn. Elder Sanders asked the sisters, after they were done, to give a united scream. When I opened the door to let them out in the hall where the Elders were waiting, you should have seen the faces on the Elders. We almost didn't get them to come in, but they finally did and it wasn't as bad as they thought.</div>

It is interesting to see how they crush old bottles by hand, and then make them into beads that they put in their handmade ovens. Of course, all painting is done by hand, and they turn out beautiful. It might be boring work, unless of course, one has a cell phone.<br />

We usually give a little goodbye poem and say a few words. This time Gerald told them a little about us and that I had been the girl back home, while he served his young mission in France. When Pres. Robison got up after, he told them that we had been married for over 50 years. They all stood up and cheered and applauded and the roof almost blew off. What fun!</div>

This is done periodically. We only needed to be gone for one day and night, so we decided to stay at the temple ancillary building. They have a few apartments and some smaller rooms with a community kitchen on each floor. Temple patrons, who come from long distances, stay there while attending the temple. It always nice to be among the saints.<br />

<h2>
Ghana Temple Square Visit</h2>
Here is a picture of the ancillary building, with a new children's play yard. The group that was visiting the temple from the Ivory Coast, had lots of children with them, and they loved playing in the yard. Our room was directly over the play yard, and we got to see them having hours of fun, while their parents were in the temple. We notice that here, there is often an older brother or sister who is responsible for the care of younger siblings. They seem to take it seriously.<br />

The area office is also on the property, so we get to visit with some of the senior couples who have become such good friends. The only problem is that the trees are always trying to get into the picture or maybe that's batman.<br />

While we stayed there, two of our sister missionaries, whom we knew from the MTC, came running over to say Hi to us. They said they are having a wonderful mission and are grateful for the good start they got with us. Such sweet people we work with.<br />

<h2>
New intake day</h2>
Once again, intake day has arrived, and we are ready. This is a smaller group, but it is the calm before the storm. This group numbered in the 30's, but the next group we will get, will be almost full capacity at around 100.<br />
<br />
We have a number of the senior couples, who come down from Accra to help us with family history at intake. Many of our missionaries have not had the chance to do much in that area, so they are excited to learn what they can while they have access to the computers. We are so grateful for the unselfish service of these good couples.<br />

<h2>
Family History Blessings</h2>
A special thing happened to Elder Malmrose with this Elder Lindley. He was helping him with Family History, and as they worked on it together, he saw that one of the family names, Boudrero, in his line was the same as a family in Elder Malmrose's line. They are related back a few generations. You have to be nice to people, because you never know to whom you are related.<br />

Once more, it was time to say our goodbyes. We hold a farewell devotional the day before they leave. Each district sings for us, and their instructors say goodbye. President and Sister Robison and we, also take a few minutes to encourage them and share our testimonies and of course a poem or two.<br />

And before we know it, off they go into a new adventure for them. We are happy to send them off, knowing that they are well prepared for the challenges that lie ahead of them. They are never alone. They know who is always standing behind them.<br />

<h2>
New Intake Day</h2>
Almost as soon as we say goodbye, we have another group arriving. This new group has many Americans included, and is a much larger number.<br />
<br />
Our intake day is greatly helped by the wonderful senior missionaries who come from the Area Offices in Accra, to help with getting our new missionaries started on their family history. Even our own Area Presidency's wives, Sister Curtis and Sister Vinson, volunteered to help us out. What unselfish people we work with.<br />

We are blessed with new missionaries from all over the world. We have several from England, some from Kenya and Liberia, as well as a number from the Pacific Islands and of course African countries like Nigeria, Ivory Coast and DR Congo. Within a very short time, they all mix together nicely in the Gospel culture of love.<br />

<h2>
Immunizations</h2>
Of course once again, we start off the new missionaries with their favorite thing, immunizations. We call them, "the little gift of health". They don't seem to think that it is such a small thing, but they manage to get through it.<br />
<br />
We usually let the Sisters go first, so they can show the Elders how it is done. There isn't too much screaming going on.<br />
<br />

We even let a few redheads in, just to keep things interesting. This is Elder Nissinen. He knows our grandson's mission president in Oregon. He said he heard him speak at their stake conference, and that he gave a very spiritual talk. It makes us so happy that our grandson, Elder Jensen, has such a wonderful mission president.<br />

While we were out and about getting our hair cuts, I took this picture of a typical apartment building. It shows the contrast of the culture. The building is probably not high rent, but they still have satellite dishes, as they do on almost all the buildings. Times have really changed.<br />

Once again, it is time to say our goodbyes to the two week missionaries. We keep the language missionaries for another month. It's a great time to get some pictures to add to our memories. What's not to love about these folks?</div>

All in all, this has been another busy but productive month. We are healthy and happy to be in this interesting place. We have seen wonderful things happen with our new missionaries, and we know that it is only the beginning. They have sweet testimonies of our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ, and they are willing to share it with others. We know that they will have challenges, but we also know that they will be guided and blessed as they serve unselfishly.</div>

Grandpa Gerald Malmrosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13919021091464544611noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6157039381888333396.post-66440052116088520642015-08-06T01:56:00.002-07:002015-08-08T03:17:16.614-07:00July 2015 UpdateWe saved a few pictures from later last month, to be included in this month's update because the MTC is closed for cleaning and repairs during part of July. The Robisons are on a well deserved vacation on a safari in South Africa, but we chose to stay home and get caught up on a number of things that needed our attention. It was a little strange to be in this big building, especially at night when we were the only ones here. At least during the day, we could hear all the workmen busily engaged in their tasks. We also had some staff here during the day, so that was nice, but the nights were a little eerie, since we have been used to having so many missionaries, etc. coming and going day and night.<br />
<br />
Gerald has really enjoyed his Sunday School class of missionaries who are learning English. They are here for 6 weeks, and he said that they have done very well learning a new language in such a short time. There really is a "gift of tongues" manifested here.<br />

We took a picture of this good Elder Adams with Elder Malmrose, because the other missionaries thought that he looked like Elder Malmrose must have looked when he was a young missionary. It must be the smile, winning personality and the blond hair.</div>

<i><u>Temple Trip</u></i></h2>
It was time again for a trip to the temple, just before our missionaries headed out into the mission field. The grounds were beautiful, as usual, and so were the sister missionaries.<br />

For a fourth of July celebration, we went to the American Embassy for a little carnival with hamburgers and hot dogs and other American traditional food. They had a good turn out. They put up a number of booths for the kids like face painting and kids rides. All we needed was an American passport and a pre-purchased ticket to get in, but it was a no picture taking zone. It was literally, a little taste of home.<br />
<br />
In honor of the 4th, Sister Robison made me a red, white and blue necklace from the locally made beads, which I was happy to wear to church. Thanks Diane, for being so thoughtful and talented!<br />

Some time ago, I bought a little African doll to sit on our bed. I named her Esmerelda. And lo and behold, this sweet sister arrived with the same first name, and she is a doll too. She is the 2nd missionary from the country of Namibia. Her brother was the first missionary from that African country.</div>

<b><i><u>Margaret's Departure</u></i></b></h2>
We sent our missionaries off, and at the same time another era came to an end. Our sweet Margaret, who caters the meals in the cafeteria, is moving on to other pursuits. She has been so generous and kind to us for the year we have been here, and we will miss her. I wrote a poem for her about a Kitchen Angel and Sister Robison put it into a nice card, that we gave to her as we said our goodbyes. We know that we will meet again, and hope it isn't too long before we do.<br />

<i><u>MTC Building Maintenance</u></i></h2>
The maintenance on our MTC is progressing, day by day. We couldn't believe it when we saw them putting up the scaffolding by hand, piece by piece. The workers are barefooted, and climb up and down, attaching the metal bars and then the planks that they paint and work from. It seems very dangerous, but we haven't heard any screams of falling workers, as yet. Good thing we pray a lot.<br />

<i><u>Area Office Visit</u></i></h2>
Gerald needed to go to the area office to meet with Brother Terry, who supervises computer services. During this break, Gerald is working hard to organize the computer programs so that the staff here can take over when we go home. He has developed some good programs to make things run more efficiently. Bro. Terry is always helpful, and we thanked him by going out to lunch, as if we needed any excuse. Our other senior couple friends, the Sanders and Sue Hill along with Cyril Mensah, also went with us. We went to a small Thai restaurant that they recommended. It was good and clean, and that's important anywhere.<br />

<h2>
<i><u>Tema, Ghana Ward visit</u></i></h2>
We normally have church services here at the MTC on Sundays, with the missionaries. But since we were on break, we attended one of the Ghana wards in the ward building on this property. It was a very nice meeting, that is until they called us up out of the congregation to bear our testimonies. We did so and of course, had to sing a little duet for them. There is no rest for the weary, or something like that.<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed being with the sisters in Relief Society. The strange thing is that it felt like every other relief society meeting I have been to, all over the world. Strange how that works. The Asian sister is from Korea, where she joined the Church. They were very welcoming to me. <br />

<h2>
<b><i><u>Neighberhood Visit</u></i></b></h2>
While we were out running errands, we asked our staff driver if he would drive us around one of the neighborhoods near the MTC. We only get to see them from the highway, and we wanted to see things up close. We didn't want to go into one of the shanty towns, but into one of the many nice housing areas. Our city of Tema, is considered an industry town, and we see many businesses and storehouses and manufacturing buildings. Our driver told us that when the city was planned, it was done with the idea to encourage people to buy land and build homes near where they were working. Here are a few pictures of the homes we saw.<br />

<h2>
<i><u>Fabric Open Market visit</u></i></h2>
We had a few days before the missionaries started to arrive again. We took a day and went to a huge fabric mall. The fabrics here are so bright and beautiful. It almost makes me want to sew. Fortunately, there are many ladies here that will do the sewing for a very reasonable price. Sister Wilde, Sister Robison and I did a lot of looking and a little bit of buying. It was so fun just to walk around and appreciate the wonderful crafts and the interesting people.<br />

We have lunch with our medical helpers, the Sanders and with the other senior couples, who are so gracious to come help out on intake day. The Wades, the Stutzs, and Sister Hill help Gerald with setting up the missionaries on Family Search, so that they may be able to do some temple work for their family, if they have time with all the other things going on. Some of the missionaries serve where there isn't a temple, so they are anxious to do what they can, while they are here. </div>

We got a little break before the new missionaries arrived, so we took a day trip and did some shopping. The scenery at the coast is always interesting. There is a huge seaport here and we always see lots of the big freighters coming and going. I took a few pictures from the road, to give you an idea of what it looks like.</div>

Also, the wood carvers are outstanding. Gerald choose a statue of an African warrior for his anniversary present. We took a picture of the man who carved it. There is so much talent here and so many things are made by hand and yet turn out beautiful. They seem to be a patient and industrious people.<br />

What a fun time to visit with these good people and hear of their love for the Savior and His Gospel. They are sharing those things with their two little girls. Sister Mensah teaches the young women in their ward and they had invited one of them to join us that evening. What beautiful smiles these folks have. We brought ice cream, no duh, to share, and the kids and Gerald really enjoyed themselves. A few days later Sister Mensah delivered a healthy baby boy. It must have been because of the ice cream.<br />

We had another MTC devotional. We all get to hear an Area Authority, who always give us good counsel. Whoever comes to speak, will always shake the hands of every missionary prior to the meeting. They all really look forward to it. Notice how modestly the sisters are dressed. Aren't they beautiful!<br />

Later in the month we had Elder Koranteng, an Area Seventy, joined us for our devotional. These are powerful speakers and bring a great spirit of love for the Gospel and for the missionaries.<br />

One of our senior couples, The Pecks, are from Pocatello, Idaho, and they know many of the same people we knew when we lived there, some years ago. They have served another mission in Korea and Elder Peck served there as a young missionary, so he speaks Korean. The Robisons invited them to come to our city and go out with us to a Korean Restaurant appropriately named "Seoul Grill". Elder Peck did get to use his language skills talking with the owner. Good food and good friends, who could ask for anything more?<br />

As time goes on, we get to know the missionaries better, especially those who<br />
are here for 6 weeks learning a language. We see them during our group meetings, in the halls or our office, and especially during their sports time each afternoon (except Sundays:). We take the opportunity to snap their pictures.<br />
<br />
This is Elder Mitchell. Of course, he is smart, super talented, plays the piano, is a computer expert and is a lot of fun. With a name like Mitchell, of course that would be the case! And our daughter married a Mitchell; good decision.<br />

We do encourage the missionaries to get outside and play whichever sport they like. We have soccer, basketball, volleyball, and bicycles, plus some other games. Our MTC president always sets a good example for them to follow. He is truly multi talented.</div>

Before long, a number of our missionaries are ready to go into the mission field. We have a local doctor Kissi, who does a required check up for all those who are serving in Ghana. Dr. Kissi is a real pioneer of the early days of the Church here in Ghana and has written a book about his experiences. We will bring a copy of it home to share later.</div>

Intro to May</h2>
<div>
Springtime is going fast but of course, it is always summer here. Nevertheless, we picture in our minds the beautiful flowers and green grass at home. We continue to keep busy here as our missionary trainees come and go. We love to see them come and are sad to see them go, just like at home. The time comes quickly when it is time for them to move on to challenges of their own. Much like it is with raising a family. That is what mortality is about, progressing. We are progressing through our mission, but are still enjoying our time here with the missionaries, the staff and of course the wonderful members.</div>
<div>
This is a picture of a local stake conference. Not too different than what we see and hear at home. It really is a small world.<br />

<i>Utah Visitors</i></h3>
It is always nice to have visitors from home. This month we had a big group of MBA etc. students from the Marriott School at BYU. They come here as part of their training where they do different projects with the businesses here. They like to come visit us at the MTC, and we love having them. They attended our Sunday meetings and toured our building and just had fun with our missionaries.</div>

<h2>
<i>Temple Trip</i></h2>
Another sweet trip to the temple. The missionaries are always so excited to go. For many, it will be their first time and it may be several years before they can attend again. Elder Malmrose helps them to do their family history, so that some of them can do the work for their own families. Either way, they love going and we love going with them and our dear senior missionaries, the Robisons and Watsons.<br />

As I was walking around the temple grounds, I heard someone call out my name. I turned around and there were two of our sisters, who are now serving their missions in Accra. It is always fun to see them again. We took a "selfie"together.<br />
How could we not love these good people?<br />

<i>Mathias Eguco's Farewell</i></h3>
The manager of the MTC has been called to be a mission president in Nigeria. We had a great staff farewell devotional for him, to send him off with our love and a few remembrances. He and his wife are in Utah now for some training and sure looks like they had fun at temple square.<br />

<h3>
<i>Mothers Day Devotional</i></h3>
Our devotional on Mother's Day, was held with our area authority Elder Vinson and his wife. They are from Australia and are most enjoyable. They asked Gerald and me if we would sing for them, so of course we did so during the devotional. She, like we, really likes the African fabrics and often wears dresses made from them too. They are so bright and fun to wear. She is wearing the blue dress in the middle.<br />

During the fireside, President Robison mentioned that we have an Elder Hodson in our group who is the great-great-grandson of Hugh B. Brown. The fun thing is that Elder Malmrose, as a young man, dated Elder Brown's grand-daughter and has been in their home in Pasadena years ago. There is much more to the story, but that is for another time and place. Fortunately for me, he decided to marry me instead.<br />

<h2>
<i>Missionary Departure</i></h2>
Once again we say our goodbyes and send them off to the mission field. We get to see some of them occasionally, if they serve near us, but mostly we won't get to see them for a long time. We do love them and want them to be successful and happy. We hope we have helped them get a good start to their missions.<br />

<h2>
<i>Hike with Doctor Hill</i></h2>
We get a short time break between the groups of missionaries, and we try to do some sight seeing at that time. Dr. Hill invited us and the Robisons to come on a hike to the Botanical Gardens at the University here. We had a wonderful time walking in the beautiful countryside and observing nature in all her glory. How refreshing it was, and we are grateful for the change of pace.<br />
<br />
As we walk into the park, we see a number of interesting sights. They told us they used to have elephants and other wild animals in the area, but most of those have been moved into reserves elsewhere. We did get to see some of the local resident birds and lizards and of course beautiful grounds. There are signs that tell what the plant species is, and that is interesting.<br />
<br />
As we walked along the path we saw many mangoes laying all around. It's the season for them, and they fall off the trees. We buy them from vendors here and they are super sweet, as are the pineapples. <br />

They have insects (termites) that build tall dirt towers. The locals use the mud from these places to build their ovens and other structures. We didn't get too close, but we did get a few pictures of them.<br />

Dinner: </i> </h2>
<div>
We don't have much time for entertaining guests, but once in a while we like to have someone over to dinner. The sweet lady who is in charge of the MTC cafeteria, has become dear to us, so we decided to invite her to dinner with the Robisons. See if you can guess which one she is? Good friends and good food, a great combination.</div>

<i>Farewell </i></h2>
<div>
<i>Most of our missionaries are from West Africa, but we do have some from other places such as </i><i>Zambia, Madagascar, Kenya, </i><i>USA and Pacific Islands. We had several missionaries from India recently .</i><br />
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i> One of our current missionaries is from France. He lives in the city of Clermont-Ferrand that Gerald and his missionary companion opened up for preaching the Gospel, when Gerald was a young missionary many years ago. This young French missionary is not only tall and handsome, but super nice. The blond young man is a hard working farm boy from Utah. We love seeing the different backgrounds, cultures, and personalities. We are so pleased to see the next generation stepping up to the plate to serve the Lord.</i></div>

<i>We always have a get together to say our goodbyes as our missionaries prepare to depart into their fields of labor. It is usually the night before they actually pull out. They present some musical numbers from each of their different districts. One elder even sang a solo goodbye-song just for us. They sing with such enthusiasm that it makes it so fun for all. Some of them are more talented than others, but the joy they display makes up for the differences.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>All the missionaries are a little anxious, but are excited to be heading out to put into practice all they have been studying for 2 or 6 weeks. The language missionaries have made great strides in learning their new languages, and all of them are ready to get going.</i></div>

Time is going fast for us, probably because we are so busy every day. We are still happy and healthy and are greatly blessed to be serving the Lord by serving these good people.<br />
<br />
Ghana has beautiful crafts such as hand dyed cloth. We see many lovely dresses made from these materials. I had a skirt and dress made from some of the material. This is a picture of the dress and one of my senior companion and one of our African friend.<br />

It was enjoyable to spend Easter Sunday with these dear people. Sister Robison and her Relief Society counselor, Sister Obeng and I, were all dressed up for our Easter picture and our Easter dinner.</div>

<i><u>Family Sealing and FTM Temple Trip</u></i></h2>
A highlight for us was when we took them to the temple, which is always a treat. This time it was especially nice, because one of our Elders had his family, who are recent converts, come and meet him. They were sealed together as a family that day, and we were invited into the ceremony. What a joy to see this sweet family come together forever. <br />

<i><u>Group Departure</u></i></h2>
The time goes quickly, and before long they are ready to leave us and get to work. Before they go, they love to find opportunities to sing their hearts out; and they sure do that. We have never heard such enthusiasm for singing.<br />

Off they go, after saying their goodbyes and shedding a few tears. Our prayers go with them. The sweet sister in the middle gave us a departing gift of necklaces she had brought from her home in the Polynesian Islands. A great adventure awaits them all.<br />

<i><u>Calm before the storm (between groups)</u></i></h2>
Every 6 weeks we say goodbye to all of the missionaries, both the 2 weekers and the 6 week language missionaries. When they are all gone, the MTC feels strangely quiet, when we walk down the halls or look into the rooms. <br />

Since all our missionaries have gone, the staff uses this time to clean the MTC, so we needed to leave for one day and night. The Watsons were kind enough to offer to let us stay with them. They are Family History missionaries and live in a nice complex close to the temple. We had a wonderful time being with them, and it was a nice change of pace. We went out to dinner with them to a Greek Restaurant and met this man who really needed a hair cut. He kept staring at us. We sure meet interesting people.<br />

This is Elder David, who became very ill his first week at the MTC. It wasn't anything contagious, but he needed to go to the hospital for a short stay. It was a blessing to him to be here rather than at home where the health care would have been unsure. Our good mission doctor, Dr. Hill, visited him regularly, and his MTC district all made get-well cards for him and hand delivered them. He was thrilled that they cared. As he recovered, some of the senior couples in the area, took him into their apartments and cared for him to make sure that he was ready and able to resume his MTC experience. While recuperating, he attended the temple regularly. He returned and completed his stay with us at the MTC, and is heading into the mission field now. What kind people we work with.<br />

<h2>
<i><u>New Missionary Intake</u></i></h2>
We had the largest intake of missionaries, with this new group. We were close to our full capacity of 100 missionaries. This new group has kept us super busy with all the paper work and other organizational responsibilities. Nevertheless, we are doing fine and enjoying getting to know them.<br />

<i><u>Vaccination Day</u></i></h2>
And of course, we make sure that they stay healthy and give them multiple shots, which they really appreciate. We have a local nurse, who is appropriately named Comfort, and our missionary nurse Sister Sanders, who help us out. Notice how Sister Sanders really really empathizes and communicates so well with them.<br />

They eventually come through the intake experience and before long they are anxious to get started learning what they will need to be effective representatives of the Savior.<br />
Many of our missionaries are the only members in their families. Some of them have only been a member for a short time. Others, have been raised in LDS families and have been planning on serving a mission from childhood. Either way, they are dedicated and unselfish in their desire to serve the Lord.<br />

<i><u>Temple Trip</u></i></h2>
Temple day arrived again, and we had a great time with our dear missionaries. It is such a privilege to spend this time with them at the House of the Lord. Some of them will not be serving near a temple, so this is one of the few times they will be able to go. They seem to love it too. They often want to do the family history work for their families. Elder Malmrose helps them to submit names, when they have time.<br />

<i><u>New MTC complex</u></i></h2>
The new MTC will house around 350 missionaries, and then have the ability to go up from there. It won't be completed until after we go home, but we can see it progressing regularly. It should be very nice and is in the temple complex.<br />

African Crafts:</i></u></h2>
Sister Robison and I had a chance to go with Sister Wilde to one of the local street markets. It was unbelievably busy with lots of vendors and people walking back and forth. What an experience. Sister Robison was very happy to go to several shops that sell the beautiful and bright batik cloth. One is owned by a member of the Church. The dyed cloth is reasonably priced and lots of fun to have. Sister Robison not only makes it into clothes, but also tablecloths, and bedspreads, and as you can see little note-booklets covered in the fabric, etc. etc. etc. She is also having it shipped to the U.S after being made into children's clothing for a company her family owns. It will be interesting to see if it this unique fabric catches on.<br />

The day finally comes when we must say our goodbyes to many of our missionaries. We do keep the 6 weekers for a few more weeks before we send them off. Once again, they sing to us and give us big hugs as they bid us farewell. Sometimes they even shine Elder Malmroses shoes.<br />

We went out to an Asian Restaurant the other night. I decided not to get the pork dish. I would rather have some of the cookies I found in an American style store.<br />

We had a wonderful devotional with our Area Presidency including Elder Evans, a new member of the our Area Presidency. It was very well done and an inspiration to both us and our language missionaries. We have a great deal of respect for our leaders, both local and from Church headquarters. It is a privilege to be here and hear their counsel.<br />

<i><u>Lorna's Birthday Celebration</u></i></h2>
We can't believe that we have almost hit our half-way mark in our mission, but I was able to celebrate my birthday among these wonderful people. The missionaries sang Happy Birthday to me in both English and French. They do sing everything with gusto. These sweet sisters wanted to do something for me for my birthday, so each of them gave me a celebration balloon, and my office was full of them for a few days. That was fun. It was nice to hear birthday wishes from our dear family and a number of friends too. What did we do before Facebook!<br />

On my birthday, we went to the market, and there was a lady in line behind us whose husband was buying a fancy chocolate cake. I smiled at her and mouthed the words, "Is it your birthday?" She smiled big and said YES. I told her it was mine too, and could I take her picture? She said, "Of course". Here it is.<br />

We went out for my birthday meal with our dear Robisons. We ate at one of the nice hotel restaurants here. They had an outstanding buffet, and that is always fun. It is on the beach, so we walked around the pool area and out to the beach front.<br />

They have such beautiful wood and wood carvings here. I liked these elephant decorations in the hotel lobby. The next picture is of some of the wood carvers hard at work. Many people do hand work such as wood carving. This is one of the many places we see the men working at their trade.<br />

<u><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">Incoming Missionaries</span></i></u></h2>
Most of our incoming missionaries are picked up at the airport. But, if they are local, sometimes their families will bring them to the MTC. It is a sweet moment to see them say their goodbyes, just as it is for us at home. And we promise to take very good care of them, and we do. These are twin brothers with their parents, then family members.<br />

Ready, set, go!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Elder Vinson of the Area Presidency and his wife spoke at our devotional. They always are inspirational to our missionaries and to us as well. Such dedication to serve the Lord. Some of them have been away from home for many years at a time. We shouldn't complain about a few months.<br />

This is our early March group.<br />

It is always wonderful to go with our missionaries to the Accra Temple. They love to see the temple and their day to go in is here.<br />

<i><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">Goodbye Party</span></u></i></h2>
Before we know it, the time has come to say our goodbyes and send them off to the mission field. We come to love them, and they learn to love each other. Often, they make friends but are going to different mission fields, so they may not see each other very soon. It is bitter sweet.<br />
<br />
It is great to see their growth in every area in just a few weeks. It is nothing less than a miracle that the language missionaries do so well. I have been teaching them to say their "th's". Dey(pun intended) try so hard and do surprisingly well in just a short time. They even give their testimonies in their mission language. What an inspiration they are to us.<br />

The resort is a hotel and convention center and is quite nice. It has thatched roofs, which we thought was interesting. They have lovely pools for swimming, a gift shop and a beautiful view of the river. We had a lot of fun getting away for a few hours.<br />

<h2>
<b><i><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">Goodbye to our group of MTC missionaries</span></u></i></b></h2>
<br />
Before very long, we are back to work, but it was refreshing to be away for a few hours, to see the country side and visit with such good company.<br />
Once again it is time to send off some of our missionaries into the field to harvest. They never lack enthusiasm for what lies ahead, and we wish them well and pray for their success every day.<br />

Our little Elder Johnson is an Idaho spud. He is a super nice fellow, and we enjoyed sharing this time with him. <br />
This cute little sister is from South Africa. We love 'em, small and tall, that's for sure.<br />

This Elder came from the Cape Coast Mission Home to pick up the missionaries who will be serving in their mission. As we were visiting with him, we asked him where he was from and he said, "Seattle". We told him we had lived in the Kent/Renton area for many years and said all our kids graduated from Kentridge High School. He said, "So did I!". He lives near our neighborhood of Fairwood. It is a small world after all.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">We have had several big intake days with the arrival of
many new missionaries. We continue to
have a good number of sister missionaries.
We keep the language missionaries for 6 weeks and get two weekers on and
off during that same time. We get to
know the sixers a little better of course, but they are all great. This time around, we have missionaries from a
few different places such as Burundi, Vanuatu in the South Pacific, and Idaho
Falls, of all places. Will the miracles
never cease? When they first arrive,
they are a bit like deer with headlights in the eyes, but before long they are
laughing together and hugging each other.
They grow a lot while they are here in this dedicated building and are
better prepared to head out into the mission field and work hard.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Some of our missionaries are very talented. The one on the right draws beautifully. Gerald has several of his beautiful drawings. He is also wearing the hand beaded tie with his initials on it that is made here. They have many beautiful crafts such as beads, hand dyed fabrics, and wood carvings. They are a patient and talented people.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Gerald and I were asked to sing a duet together at the
last devotional. We sang one of the
hymns that is found in the French hymn book, but not in the English. It has four verses and as we were almost at
the end of the song, the electricity went out, which happens frequently, but we
continued to sing in total darkness. Just
as we were on the very last sentence, bingo, the lights went back on as we finished. The congregation let out a loud happy sound
and almost broke into applause. What fun
we have sharing these moments here.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">One of our missionaries by the name of Dominique Lath was the one who accompanied us whenever we sang a duet. He plays the piano very well. So when it was his last day we sang a short memorial song to honor him. It is called Dominique-nique-nique. We took a video with a couple of his companions which can be viewed on the link below:</span><br />

We do try to get a few moments here and there to exercise and recreate. President Robison is making sure that he gets his few moments in, even if it is on the soccer field in front of the MTC. He truly is a driving force!</span></span></div>

We met some folks from the USA, who came to Ghana to help with the redecoration of the Accra temple. These folks are the parents of one of our dear Elders in the Caribbean, Elder Parker Tycksen. It sure is a small world. <br />

We got a day off, so we decided to take a short trip into the mountains. Where we are, there aren't any mountains visible, so it was nice to drive up into the hills and see the landscape from up high. It does give a different perspective as we looked down on the jungle.<br />
<br />
There are some very nice houses here and even some of the ants build beautiful castles, as you can see. We decided not to go inside though. Didn't want to intrude.<br />

We love it when our African missionaries play the piano. Many are self taught. This is a picture of our chapel piano. This good Elder was helping out, but almost couldn't get his knees under the keyboard. It looks like the piano is a toy, but that is not the situation.<br />

We went over and talked with them and asked them what they were doing in

they support. They come here
periodically and bring needed supplies and see how things are going. We invited them to meet us for lunch after
the temple session. They did so and
invited us to join them for an activity day and a visit to the children’s

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">It’s hard to believe that we are coming upon our 6<sup>th</sup>
month here in Ghana. The time does go
very fast when we are so busy.
Nevertheless, we are still enjoying serving here and being with such
great people. It thrills us to hear the
sweet testimonies of these wonderful young missionaries from all over the world. Most of them are from Africa, but we do get a
few from other places too. </span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The weather continues much the same and the days are
warm, but the skies are cloudy due to the dust clouds that blow from up north
in the continent. This will continue
until the rains come and clean out the skies.
It is warm, but not too hot. It
helps to have air conditioning. All in
all, it isn’t too uncomfortable, and we try to get out and walk every day to
enjoy the fresh air.</span></h4>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It doesn’t take long before we come to love them and
they come to love each other, no matter where they are from or where they are
going. That is what this is all about,
to spread the love of Jesus Christ and His Gospel to others, but it has to
start with ourselves. We see a lot of
growth among the missionaries while they are here. Some are learning a language, and that is a
challenge in and of itself, and learning to get along together in harmony is
important. Some are the only members in
their family. Others have lost dear ones
just before coming into the field.
Before long, they are dear friends with each other. What a blessing to
get to know them.</span></h4>

Since we had opportunities after dinner to put on a Christmas presentation, I wanted to make a special birthday celebration in honor of my dad, Earl Malmrose, who would have celebrated his 100th birthday this year on December 25 - Christmas day. As a young child, I remember that every Christmas our family met in the living room at home, and my dad always played a special song recorded by band leader Spike Jones who's band played that song. In honor of a special family tradition, I played the Spike Jones version of the song and mimicked the singer. Part way through my presentation one of our elders decided to record it on his cell phone, a copy of which we obtained and have here published. You'll enjoy it. Dear dad, thanks for the wonderful memories!<br />

the missionaries only. We already had big plans for some of the senior

“family” celebration with our own missionaries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 107%;">I talked with the different districts and asked them
if they would participate in the program.
They were enthused to be part of their own program. So I assigned each district a Christmas Carol
and asked them to practice it. I also
gave them some background on that particular hymn. I even had one of the elders
ask me if he and his friends could do “Oh Holy Night”. I said, “sure”. A few days later, I went around and had them
all sing for me to make sure they were ready.
They did a good job, and I thought it would turn out OK. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I was very pleased with their love and enthusiasm for the Christmas hymns. Gerald and I, along with Sister &
President Robison, sang a quartet of Silent Night, and the congregation joined
in as the closing song. I was very happy
with how it all turned out on that special night. They did so well, so we asked
them to sing again during the Christmas Day celebration with the couples. </span></div>

He danced and lip synced to “My Birthday Comes On Christmas”. Everyone really had fun with his
presentation. I don’t think I have ever
heard our missionaries laugh so hard and clap so loud. This may become an annual tradition. We put

We are working very hard, but
we are enjoying it. Just so you don’t
think that we work all the time, we do occasionally get a break and do a little
sight seeing. There really are some interesting
places to go to visit here, and we hope to get a chance to see more of them, as
time goes on. Since we don’t drive here,
for many reasons, the Robisons are wonderful at taking us places. Here are a
few pictures of one of our little excursions.<o:p></o:p></div>

They really dress up nicely
for special events here. The ladies are
usually in beautiful dresses and the men in shirts and ties or traditional
dress. These are pictures of a wedding
held at the ward building on the property.
Because of the laws here, members must be married civilly and then they
have a traditional wedding with the family only and then they may be sealed in
the temple, if they desire it.<br />

Gospel spreads across the continent.
There are wonderful true stories of the early pioneers in Africa and as
time goes on we will share some of those histories. The Lord is truly hastening the work here. We did not realize what a big continent this
is, until we saw this picture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

at the devotional on a Sunday evening.
We had attended the French sacrament meeting that morning, and I noticed
how enthusiastic they sang “Secret Prayer”.
So, when I was asked to find a number for the devotional, I asked the
pianist to get his district to sing while he played the piano. Gerald and I did the first verse in English, and then they joined in for the rest of the verses in French. When we were done, the congregation broke out
in enthusiastic applause (a cultural thing).
They sure make it fun to serve here.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

missionary sisters, took a morning off and went to a very well-known open air
market in Accra. It was quite an
experience. There are so many people all
walking around and squeezing around each other.
Some of these folks have heavy stacks of goods balanced on their
heads. I tried really hard to stay out
of their way as we hurried up and down the streets looking in the booths. We all came out OK, but I did get hit with
someone’s elbow to my head. It wasn’t
bad, but could have been. We were mostly
looking for the beautiful dyed material they have here, so that we could make
or have made (in my case) clothes. </span></div>

really cheap, so we stopped there and got some. While I was standing by the
street and the other ladies were shopping, a young fellow around 12 years old,
came up to me and looked me in the face and said, “Salt Lake City, Utah” and
then smiled. I looked surprised at him
and said, “Are you a member of the Church?
He said yes, both he and his twin brother, who also came up to say Hi. I asked him if he was planning on a mission,
and they both said yes. Who would have
thought that we would meet some members among such a crowd.

The elder who is on the far side of the van seat is Elder Broadhead. In talking with him, we discovered that he is the great-grandson of Dakin K. Broadhead who was a counselor to our Pasadena Stake President, Howard W. Hunter when I became active in the Church. Not only do I remember President Hunter who helped me come back to the church, but I also remember President Broadhead and the other counselor Richard S. Summerhays.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
We have settled in to our routine here in the MTC. We are kept very busy with our
responsibilities. We have seen several
groups of missionaries come, get trained, and then leave for the mission
field. Our 6 week missionaries are
learning a language, either French or English, so we get to know them better
because they are here longer. We are
coming up on the time when they will be done with their training and ready and
anxious to get out and get to work. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Along with our multiple duties to keep our missionaries
happy and healthy, we get to attend many of their devotionals. It isn’t unusual to be asked to come up and
share our testimonies with them.
Sometimes, we sing to them. At
one of the devotionals, we sang a duet in French and when we were done, they
broke out in loud applause that filled the room. Now that’s a first for us at a Sunday
meeting. They are very enthusiastic in
many ways and sing with gusto always. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We were at the temple with our missionaries the other day,
and we were waiting outside in the garden area for the others to come out. Some of our missionaries came out to wait
too, so they came over and said Hi to us.
One Elder shook my hand and then held it and looked into my eyes and
said, “All of the missionaries really, really love you Sister Malmrose.” I
thought that was sweet. I think they
like to have someone they can talk with when they don’t feel well or are a bit
homesick. And that’s part of my calling.
Sometimes I get a little impatient, but when things like that happen, it
makes it all worthwhile.<o:p></o:p><br />

We have not minded the weather so far. It is warm and humid, but not too bad. They tell us that it will be warming up and
should be quite hot by Christmas. It is
a bit weird to have the sun come up every day at 6 AM and set at 6 PM regularly. <br />
<br />
So far, we have had good food and probably too much of it. The sweet lady who runs the cafeteria here,
often sends us up leftovers during the day.
We either eat it as it comes, or I make it into something else. The people here are very kind and
generous. We don’t eat out often and are
careful where, but occasionally we do go out and have pizza or something like
that. Fortunately, they have very good
ice cream at the restaurants, so that makes Gerald very happy.<o:p></o:p></div>

This is a picture of what they call the “man dress” that
many of the natives wear around here. It
is comfortable to wear around the house, but they don’t wear them out in
public. Pres. Robison and Gerald are
really getting into the African theme.
Ghana does have a Muslim population, so we do see women dressed with the
head scarves, etc., but not too often.
One of our Relief Society counselors is a convert from the Islamic
faith.</div>

The end of the day at the temple.<br />
The black elder on my right is rather interesting. I was surprised when I started talking with him and he didn’t have an accent. I said, “Where are you from Elder?” and he answered “Provo, Utah. Ever heard of it?” We do a lot of mix and match of cultures here.<br />

We also have missionaries from the Ghana mission, who serve

soccer balls and play some sports. The
other day I looked out the window while I was doing dishes and saw them sitting
around on the little wall around the soccer field, playing a guitar and
singing, just for fun. Well, I couldn’t
resist; so I went and got Gerald, and we went over and sang with them. They handed me the guitar and were surprised
that I could play it. So, we gave them a
duet and had a lot of fun being with them.
They are from the U.S., Pacific Islands, and Africa. It’s fun to see how they get along so well.<o:p></o:p></div>

The night before they leave the MTC, we always have a farewell get-together and just enjoy each other. They often sing their favorite songs. This missionary was great at playing the hymns, but he also could play honky-tonk and other fun piano tunes for us to sing along with. What fun!</div>

This is Dr. Kissi, who is an early pioneer in Africa for the Church. He does the medical exams for those who serve in Ghana, so we get to see him regularly. We were able to get a copy of the book that he wrote that gives the history of how the Church has developed and grown over the years. We'll bring home a copy. It is really interesting to see how much these people of faith went through in the early stages. It must be gratifying for them to see the tremendous growth taking place now.<br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">It’s time for an update on our mission so far. Our initial adjustment is pretty well done
and we are getting into the life here quite comfortably. The weather is still rather nice. It occasionally rains, the sky is often
overcast and the temperature isn’t too hot,.. yet. We understand that will change with the dry
season. They tell us that it will be
very warm around Christmas and January.
We’ll let you know when that happens.
We probably won’t have a white Christmas, in more ways than one </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">J</span></span></h2>

here, had a stomach virus of some sort.
It wasn’t too bad, and we got over it quickly. We can’t really slow down much, because of
the numbers of missionaries that need to be trained and into the mission field
on time. We are in the middle of the
largest number of missionaries we have had here at one time. We have over 90 missionaries. Their intake day was wild with missionaries
coming on and off all day and night.
But…we survived and they are all being trained now. Some are here for
less than 2 weeks, while those learning a language are here for 6 weeks. </span></div>

<u><b>September departure preparation:</b></u> <br />
As the missionaries come to the end of their stay with us,
they hold a going away party during their evening snack time. We try to go down to say our goodbyes. It is a casual but fun evening and includes a
lot of hugging and singing. This group
includes missionaries from all over Africa, France and the United States. But, we are all united in the family of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ.<br />

This missionary was able to do some of the work for his family and he
asked us to be proxy for his parents, so that he could be sealed to them. After that, we called him “son”.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our mission doctor Dr. Hill and his wife, come to the MTC
regularly. They give several lectures on
health issues to encourage the missionaries to take good care of
themselves. These are some of the slides
they show when they encourage them to take their meds. They also give the immunizations that are
required here. They don’t much like to
get their “shots”, but they all manage to get through it. One of my main responsibilities is to set up
those shot clinics ahead of time, so that it can be taken care of efficiently.</div>

Elder Chibuisi eyelid injury: On one occasion, after the doctor was done with his visit
and had left the building, this Elder was injured playing “football”. Fortunately, the doctor and his wife were
only a few minutes from the MTC and he could come back and get the patient and
take him back to his office, an hour away.
He was able to stitch up the cut and it turned out very well, much
better than if we had to take him to a local hospital, I would guess. There are no coincidences.</div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: large; line-height: 107%;"><u>Early Germany visit:</u></span></h3>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">When we visited Duisburg, Germany, in the summer of 1986 on a work assignment, we attended the Duisburg ward sacrament meeting there. It was
testimony day, and a brother stood up and said goodbye to the ward. At that time he was serving as a member of the Stake High Council. He said that he felt inspired by the Lord that he needed to
take his family to the Ivory Coast to bring the Gospel to them.
His wife then said her goodbyes and so did their two children. This good brother was instrumental in Africa
to help the church get established there.
He eventually became the first branch president, first district president and first stake president. Now, many years later, he and his wife are serving in the Accra, Ghana Temple. We
were able to visit with them and tell them that we had heard their farewell
talks back when they first thought of moving to Africa. The church has grown a great deal in that
time, and they were some of the very first pioneers. They are Phillipe and Annalies Assard. </span><br />

photographed and interviewed by president Robison and come to us for a medical

us a chance to meet one to one with each of them.</span></div>

lighter days and on those we try to get out to see the country. The traffic is horrific and it amazes us that
there aren’t more accidents. Everyone
just does their own thing with little regard for rules of the road. The rule of the road here is survival of the
fittest. The society is a very polite
and nice one except when driving, when it is push your way through or you’ll
never get in. So far, Elder M. hasn’t
had to drive and hopefully he won’t have to.
We try to ride with our friends on their outings and shopping trips.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Seems very dangerous to us, but we haven’t seen anyone hurt…..yet. They have a thriving business of what they

into. They are cheap and many people use
them. There are also cheap taxis that

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">We met a full time missionary couple,
the Iveys from Cape Coast, and they invited us to come visit them and they
would take us around that area south of us.
Heidi and we decided to do just that and we were able to spend a couple
of days sigh seeing. It is a seaport town where fishing is still a big part of
their life. Years ago it was a shipping
port for gold, honey and alas, slaves.
The slave traders were Africans, Arabs, and whites at different
times. We toured a castle that was used
to hold the slaves before being shipped off across the world. Although it was a bit unpleasant to visit
there and think of the awful things that transpired, we need to remember and
learn from history and fight for freedom.
The Gospel brings freedom where ever it is excepted and lived and we can
see that happening in this wonderful place.
These people are hungry for the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and
it is time for them to hear it. These
young missionaries are the army that will carry the truth far and wide, so that
more and more people will have the chance to accept the Savior of the
World. That is where lasting peace will
be found. Until then, the world will be in upheaval.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

has seven rope suspended bridges at the top of the jungle. Our friends the Iveys, took us there. On the way there, we saw some vendors selling

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">An interesting thing happened while we
were stopped at this roadside vendor’s place.
Almost everyone in the car got out to go see the place. Gerald was with them but decided to come back
to the car and as he came across the road, I saw him leap quickly toward our
car and immediately a car went speeding by and almost hit him. He sprained his leg, but at least he was
alive. The driver didn’t even touch his
brake and if Gerald hadn’t jumped out of the way, he would have been hit and
probably killed. My guess is that the
driver didn’t even see him. Another
blessing of protection.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

houses unwanted children. It is
supported by charitable funds mostly from Holland. Some of the Dutch young adults come over and
help out from time to time and we enjoyed talking with them. The lady holding
the baby is Sister Ivey, who found this little unwanted starving baby boy and
brought him to live in this compound.
She goes by periodically to check up on him and bring some needed items
to donate to them. She says that the little
boy is doing very well. As we got out of
the car, the little kids came running over and touched our clothes and reached
up to be held. It was heart breaking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was to a Batik. It is a place where they
dye different fabrics to make into things.
They heat up wax and then dip sponges into the wax and press it onto the
fabric. Then, when the fabric is hand
dyed, those areas stand out in the design.
Here we each got a chance to use the sponges on the pattern that we
chose and then we took the fabric home to dry.
I made a table cloth that I will bring home with me. What an interesting craft.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">We went on a boat on the Volta River to
visit an authentic African Village. We
felt as if we had gone back in time as we watched these people cooking over
open fires, washing their clothes in the river and hanging it on trees to dry,
etc. Then, as I was walking behind the
guide, I looked down on there on the ground was an ear bud with a wire
attached. I also saw some of the
“natives’ using their cell phones. They
do have some electricity at their community school and a few people in the
village have some electricity. They have
batteries that they rent and can use to have a couple of light bulbs and a few
outlets. When it runs down, they bring
it back and pay to have it recharged.
They are remodeling their community school, so we were able to tour that
area because the kids are on break. It
was interesting.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">So it all started on the first of August, 2014, as
we said our final goodbyes to our friends and family. All went well on our nonstop trip to London
and we were in the airport for a few hours before we boarded our flight to
Accra Ghana. We boarded smoothly and
then sat for two hours before take-off.
They announced that someone had checked in their luggage and then left
the airport to go shopping, but didn’t make it back before it was time for
departure. They had to unload every piece
of baggage and find theirs before we could leave. Oh well, a slight diversion to an otherwise
smooth trip.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The airport in Accra was a different matter. Our dear President Robison had to wait the
extra time we were delayed plus the slow process to get our baggage. It is a madhouse of people offering to help
us get our baggage, for a price of course, and many, many people doing the same
thing. It took a while to find the right
place to watch for our 6 bags on the conveyor belt, but we did find them and
were glad to get all six. The last one
took a while, but we eventually got everything.
A very long and tiring day, but
all is well that ends well, or something like that.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-no-proof: yes;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">We are now settled into our nice apartment at the
MTC in the city of Tema, close to Accra.
Tema has a population of around 140 thousand and Accra has a population
of around 2 million people. Our
apartment is the one on the right side of the building on the top floor. No elevator, but we’re getting strong
legs. They will soon be building a new
MTC on the temple complex in Accra, but we probably won’t see it
completed. We do have to make a lot of
trips to Accra because that is where the temple is and some of the better
shopping. Not necessarily in that order.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">This is our first group of missionaries with Elder
Curtis, our area authority, and his wife who spoke at our devotional. Every few
weeks we have a general or area authority visit and speak to our missionaries. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I
won’t say that we haven’t had an adjustment to this new life, but we are doing
fine now. It didn’t take long to learn to love these great people. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This isn’t a 3<sup>rd</sup> world country in many
respects. I would say that it is a 2<sup>nd</sup>
world country, on its way up. We have a
mixture of the traditional and modern culture.
The stores are stocked with a variety of goods, but the many traditional
outdoor shops are full of the handmade traditional things. The climate isn’t too hot as yet, and there
is often a breeze. We do have air
conditioned rooms and cars, so that helps.
It is quite tropical, but it is still a big city with many, many
people. We often see people using their
cell phones, etc. so things are modernizing. The architecture is interesting
with quite a variety. There are many
partially completed buildings that just seem to sit there. It may have something to do with taxes. There
are a number of nice houses but also many shanty towns. I asked someone who lives here who the nice
houses belong to. She said many of them
belong to the ministers. I thought that
was interesting. We quite often hear
blaring loud speakers with preachers shouting.
Most folks here are Christians with some Muslims and some follow the
native religion. Overall, the people are
friendly and seem kind. They say if your
car breaks down, that many people will come over and try to help. We have been warned not to go out after dark
if we can avoid it, so there must be some danger. We are in a very well-guarded compound, so we
feel secure. Besides that, we have
between 50 and 100 very strong young men who would protect us if needed. I don’t think anyone is going up against
these guys. The only thing they are
afraid of is getting immunization shots, which they hate, but they endure it
and move on.</span></div>

MTC loved her so much that they didn’t want her to go home. She hopes to come back and see us again
before we are through serving here. She loved the culture so much she went and
got her hair braided in the traditional African way. It took three women four or more hours of
braiding. Is this cute or what? Maybe I
should try it?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
