We got a new mission call in March 2020 before COVID hit. Our call is for Steve to serve as the Africa West Area mental health advisor. This area includes the Mission Training Center in Accra and 17 different missions in the countries of Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Togo-Benin and Nigeria. With the pandemic we had to start serving from home in June. We have monthly zoom meetings with the mission presidents and their wives and Steve counsels with missionaries by cell phone daily. With the time difference of 7 to 8 hours it can be tricky. In November we got approval to travel to Ghana in January 2021 where we will live and continue serving. We're excited to be there and get to know the people of Africa in person.
What a fun blogpost (delivered by email) to wake up to! You'll be wonderful. I have a friend who was teaching school in Abujah, Nigeria until the pandemic hit; she loved it there!
