http://halladaysghana.blogspot.com/2016/10/missionaries.html
Sunday, October 23, 2016. Missionaries come in all colors and sizes.so do their ties. These happen to be woven and sewed to the wearers specifications right here in Ghana. Zone Council meetings happen regularly but, Elder Halladay and I are usually doing the Banking on those days. This was an exception. So glad we got to attend! These missionaries are an inspiration. Elder Halladay sharing a bit of insight. All missionaries LOVE it when they get mail from home! LOVE Sisters Awittor and Athieno!

Halladays in Ghana : March 2016
http://halladaysghana.blogspot.com/2016_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 17, 2016. Funerals, Weddings and a baby naming ceremony. Funerals in Ghana are usually on the weekends, but the celebrating goes on for 4-5 days. They're marked by big red and black canopies like these. They will have speakers, professional mourners, much singing and food or alcohol is served. This is a cemetery. They can be found a long roadsides and are usually covered by thick foilage and trees. Tuesday, March 8, 2016. Our Missionary Sisters like their photo ops too! A favorite of mine.

Even in the street...

http://halladaysghana.blogspot.com/2015_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 13, 2015. This is Elvis Antwi, a soon to be departing missionary from our Branch in Agona. This is Brian, my little shadow when his mother brings him to the Mission home. Veronica is the cook for the Mission home and this is one of her twins, Brian. His sister is Briana. They are about two and a half years old. A distant cousin I am sure, from Brigham City Utah. It's a long walk or taxi ride for some to get to Church and back, so refreshments are in order. Not sure it makes sense to chop...
