There are many things we love about our mission. The list would be long but for certain the number one slot would go to the awesome missionaries we get to serve with. These are pictures of just a few of the 130 missionaries that we have come to love. We recently received word that our mission is going to grow to 168 missionaries in the near future. Bring 'em on!!
This is a picture we took of our Zone on P-Day to wish President Sabey a Happy 60th Birthday! We love being a part of the Cape Coast Zone. It changes a bit every 6 weeks which gives us the opportunity to get to know and love more of our missionaries.
Elder Banda from South Africa and Elder Eldredge from Idaho just live up the street from the office. So we are lucky to have them drop in occasionally on their way to or from their area. "Drop-ins" from missionaries are some of our favorite times of the day!
The African missionaries love taking pictures in front of our car. We joined them for this picture after a special zone conference with visiting authorities. We are with Elder Owusu and Sister Afrani from Ghana, and Elder Fairbanks and Elder Thacker from Utah.
Once a month all the zone leaders come to Cape Coast for Zone Council. Two of our favorite zone leaders (oh alright we love 'em all the same) are Elder Mackay from Nevada and Elder Christensen from Utah. Our missionaries are the best of the best. We consider it a privilege and honour to serve with them in the Ghana Cape Coast Mission!
For a service project we drove 10 elders to a recent converts farm in Nyamedom to weed! I wonder if there is a law against giving machetes to missionaries!
Weeding in Africa means getting a sharp machete and whacking down everything but the tree! John Mensah worked hard keeping them sharp by using a rock and little "bowl" of water. 
Elder Saunders worked till he had blisters on his hands and was so wet from sweat, I thought someone had poured a bucket of water over him. 
Sister Saunders took pictures and waited on a log with the other "Margaret" and her children, Emmanuel and Diana. 
The Elders take a quick break to "drink" an orange. They cut the top off of the "yellow" orange and just squeeze the juice into their mouths. 
Elder Smith from Ghana shows us how to uproot a cassava plant used in making fufu. 
While walking out of the jungle, Elder Togaga'e from Samoa spotted a coconut tree and up he went!
Walking back to the van eating coconuts and oranges. I was surprised Elder Saunders had enough energy to walk back to the van, let alone eat coconut at the same time!
