Making Friends

 We have been staying busy attending meetings, baptisms and helping out where we can.  Sunday November 24th we attended the Estates branch for Sacrament meeting and then we stopped by the Nkwabeng branch and attended Priesthood and Relief Society.  The Estates branch had their primary program.  Only 4 young ones participated.  They sang all the songs and gave all the talks.  One primary child recited the first 4 arcticles of faith by memory.  I was very impressed.

Monday we drove out to Domfete to attend a self reliance class.  That Branch is about an hour north of us.  We were stopped at a police check point.  They were very nice and asked if we have some literature to share.  We gave them a pamphlet about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  This branch is interesting because they meet at an open air school in the middle of a small court yard under a nice shade tree to hold their Self Reliance Class.  There was a good showing as about 9 students showed up.  There was a really sweet little boy that wondered out of the school and made friends with us.

Tuesday we attended district council meeting with a district of missionaries.  They are so amazing and are working hard.  We learned that a companionship of sisters had a baptism planned for Saturday.  We decided to stop by to see if we could help with anything.  I ended up playing the piano for the baptism and Louie Confirmed the lady a member of our church.  We also got asked to be witnesses to the baptism.  It was really cool!!
Here is the lady who was baptized!
Saturday we taught our Institute class.  (Young Adult scripture class).  It is not very well attended yet.  We are working on that.  Also they really liked our apples and banana bread.  
I really like these kids.  They are just trying to figure out their lives.  They are great kids Though!

Sunday we attended the Fiapre branch because we thought they were going to be 3 baptisms after the service, but those were postponed till next week.
After the branch service the whole branch took a picture with a young lady who graduated from college.  I love how Ghanains lift and support each other.  They are great friends to everyone!
Celebrating after our services 💜
A heartfelt shout out to Rachel, Janaye and Earl who all had birthdays in the last couple of weeks and a very happy Thanksgiving to all.  We celebrated by eating at Kentucky Fried Chicken.  A highlight of my Thanksgiving was a call from the zone leaders (young missionaries) wanting to talk specifically about all that they were grateful for.  It touched my heart and ment so much to me.  We also said goodbye to our sweetboy Charlie (Our Tuxedo cat we have had for 14 years) this week.  His health declined and Janaye, Gage and Katie went to have him put down.  We found out he had Oral Cancer and knew that it was the right thing to do.  

We hope you all are having a great week.  We love and miss everyone, but we also know this is where Heavenly Father would like us to be right now.  

Love Elder and Sister Fuell

    Thanks for sharing your experiences there. What a thrill to be a part of building Zion in a place where the Kingdom of God is still fairly young!

Teacher's quarters and boreholes

 Hello friends and family!  This last month has been really busy.  We will start by telling you about a school we went to go look at up north.  We had to travel 9 hours north to a town by the name of Bolgatanga.  It is a little difficult to travel because there are no public restrooms and very few places to eat.  We try to plan for this.  I usually make banana muffins and boil a few eggs the day before we travel and we pack easy to grab and eat food like apples and oranges.  We strategically visit other senior couples along the way so we can visit for a minute and utilize their washrooms (restrooms).  We passed through Techiman and we had thought the Vousden's were in Sunyani.  If that happens we can stop at Kintampo Falls.  Sometimes we can use the restroom there with out paying to get in.  We then traveled to a town called Tamale where we stayed with the Elder and Sister Jones.  The next day we traveled the last 4 hours ...

  Temple rendering of the Kumasi Temple by Elder Milan Miller We have plenty to catch up on, so this might be a long post. We have been very busy getting a gospel literacy class going in a little town called Duyaw Nkwanta.  The Gospel literacy classes are so amazing.  We are starting in the first book where we teach them the ABC's and we introduce a gospel topic as well as learn a letter.  These humble people are so excited to learn to read and write in English.  I know it will greatly bless their lives.  We introduce the class and then we turn it over to a teacher from amongst their peers who can speak english and Twi.  We have 11 other congregations that we need to get it started in. These are the beautiful ladies that were interested in learning English Sadly, we have been saying goodbye to good friends and missionaries.  We are quickly becoming old in the mission.  Our good friends Elder and Sister Hess have been transferred to Accra to b...

Rebecca's Visit and many projects underway

 We have been doing plenty of traveling.  We made a quick trip to Kumasi to check on some projects and while we were there the area asked us to stop by a hospital and put some stickers on items the church donated to the hospital. We stopped by our friends at "Better Life for Women" and gave them some stickers to put on donated equipment for children and young adults with physical and mental challenges. members of the "Better Life for Women" Organization This organization goes into the homes of physically and mentally challenged adults and children to offer physical and occupational therapy to these friends.  Ghana is challenging enough to navigate so we felt like this was a group we could support with a little help from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  We will be handing over these donations to the community soon! We stopped by KATH hospital in Kumasi and tagged some donations there as well This hospital bed was amongst many donations that were give...
