The Chairman Chief, Nana Afena Nkertia II spoke next. He had helped Dr Kessie build the hospital and was with him from the start. He mentioned how amazing he thought it was that a Church that Dr. Kessie did not belong to would make such a big donation so willingly and with no demands. We also found out the Chief owned a radio station and we had heard from some of our missionaries that some erroneous things had been on the radio lately. There were also 3 or 4 radio media in attendance. The Chief said several times how grateful he was for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and how they had helped. Coincidence?
Elder Olson then gave a wonderful talk about how we had become acquainted with Dr Kessie and the hospital. He then gave Dr. and Mrs. Kessie a statue of the Savior and a beautifully framed copy of The Proclamation on the Family. Which they received most graciously.
Mrs. Kessie then presented Elder and Sister Dever and us with gifts. The men got new shirts and we got beautiful necklaces with ear rings.
Sister Dever's and I were asked to officially hand over the machine by cutting the ribbon around a box that symbolically represented the Analyzer.
After a few concluding remarks, a few of us went to the Lab and the Chief did the official ribbon cutting.
They had refreshments for us all upstairs in their Conference Room where we took more pictures with Elders Dever and Olson with their new shirts on.
Another thread was Brother Painsil took a tour of the hospital with us after the ceremony and he wants to work there. He had never been there before and was very impressed. Also the young Lab technician who was the M C of the program spoke with President Robert and told him he wanted to join the Church and they set up a time for him to meet the missionaries.
It was a most wonderful day. The Lord's Spirit was there in abundance. We were so thankful to be a thread in this tapestry.
Sincerely,
The Olson's
