After looking at my missionary couple friends' blogs, I sometimes get a little depressed. They have neat old forts to go visit, or churches, cemeteries, operas, & zoos. What do we have that's all that wonderful? We have many awesome converts, ward members and dedicated missionaries to work with. After all, that's why we are here! We are learning to understand their language a little better, although we still have trouble "getting it" sometimes.
The first group photo was taken on the day of Felicia Armstrong's and her brother-in-law's (Brother Armstrong) baptism day. They were the reason for our bucket brigade (previous post). Felicia's husband, James, was baptized a few weeks ahead of her and is not in the photo.
Brother Abayomi was taught by Elder David (far left) and Elder Ketu (far right). They are our zone leaders. Elder Quansah and Elder Afangbedji jumped in to the photo because they love to have their picture taken.This is Sister Lovina. She is a fun lady and works
as an actress. She easily made many friends in our Relief Society as she helped them organize and prepare a drama presentation for the Stake Mother & Daughter Activity. She was taught by E. Afangbedji and Quansah. 
This photo shows the wonderful Ajinwo family that we love with their friends who first introduced the LDS church to their family. From left is Nwoka, Brother Charles Ajinwo and wife Agnes, Sister and Brother Chukwurah. We have enjoyed so much getting to know these people. Chukwurah's son attended school with Ajinwo's older son, who then investigated the church and was baptized. His mother, brother and sister followed, and now finally his father, Charles, is also a member.
This is Esther. She is a young, single adult convert. I accidentally deleted the better photo of her with her eyes open. She has been working as some type of a lab technician, but took some time off to work on her education. I think she is now back working. Getting educated and finding good jobs is more difficult here than the U.S.A.
