When we left on our mission, the first week is spent in the MTC (mission training center) at BYU in Provo. Because we are all there for 8 hours a day for an entire week, we become really close with others that are setting out to serve in all parts of the world. These people, the Wakild's became our fast new friends! He has been called to serve in Ghana, West Africa as an attorney for the OGC (office of General Counsel) just as Tony but in Germany. Before we were called to Germany, we were asked if we would consider Ghana but I just didn't think I could do it. We were then called to Frankfurt Germany. But, when we got to the MTC, we met the couple that were willing to serve in Ghana and quickly became great friends. I so admire their ability to serve where ever they were called. Linda and Chris are having a wonderful time serving in Accra Ghana. She is a school teacher and has been able to use her skills to teach children in Africa. She is so suited for this mission. I admire them both. We just received an email from them, telling us all about their service there. It is so wonderful to have this experience and meet all these wonderful people. Even though we are giving service, it feels as though we are the ones being so blessed.

They arrived in Ghana and this picture shows the building (2nd floor) where they meet for church.
A typical neighborhood in Ghana. Apparently there is a lot of poverty.
We look so forward to meeting up with the Wakild's after we get back to America in January of 2019. We will have many stories to share with each other.
