This morning we ran into a senior missionary, Elder Dalton - from Provo,Utah (his wife was at the Distribution store). They serve about 3 to 4 hours from here and come in to Accra every 6 weeks or so. They are alone out there looking after a District and 5 Branches. They eat fruit and vegetables and rice and she does some baking - bread, banana bread, cake. They don't eat meat as the only available is bush meat. Not surprising, he says they have lost weight since being here. They stock up on a few things when they come to Accra. The nearest place to them to buy fuel for their vehicle is an hour away from them. They have electricity some of the time. He says they do probably live in the nicest place in the community but he didn't say what it was like.
The impressive thing about them is that they are back to the same place for their second misson. They went home for 45 days and were coming back for 1 year and the day before they left to come back one of the members of the Seventy called and ask if they would stay for 23 months again. He consulted with his wife and they agreed, and then had to phone their kids and tell them. They are 'good' people!! They are doing a marvelous work there.
