Akwaaba!

You are welcome.....to Ghana!

Here are a few pictures of my adventures in Ghana. We spent time in Accra, Tema, Cape Coast, Takoradi, and Ho. It was a wonderful experience! I learned so much:
- be happy (smile and wave)
- love others (we are ALL brothers and sisters)
- live simply and work hard
- have faith, be faithful
- be positive, always look for the good
- don't worry or stress or complain
- be grateful! (for family, work, education, beautiful world, EVERYTHING)
- people are important; things aren't!
- be open with others, be yourself, reach out to others!
- be kind and respectful
- consider the lilies of the field (3 Ne. 13:19-34)
- "I Believe in Christ"....He came to earth to live among the people to know how to help them perfectly. He lived, served, loved, and never complained.
- the Atonement is the great equalizer (2 Ne. 26)
- singing "Teach Me to Walk in the Light" to orphans near Ho was a powerful experience in feeling Heavenly Father's love for His children
- the gospel blesses the world in spiritual and temporal ways
- gratitude for the priesthood, prophets, temples, covenants, and restoration
- importance of remembering
- be united!
- importance of recognizing and sharing God's love <3 div="div">

Here are a few videos of the group enjoying the culture and making some music! :)
