We continue to see interesting animals in Ghana...
..like this beautiful moth,
or a gecko on our bathroom window.
He comes in at will through the
louvered windows.
But this month we have some serious African animal pictures.
After completing their second consecutive mission in West Africa, Elder and Sister Bevan treated themselves to a photo safari and tour in East Africa. They visited Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa. They returned to Ghana before flying home, so we were able to hear about their experiences, see their photos and vicariously enjoy their adventures. They left a copy of the digital photos with us and gave permission for us to put a sample on our website. Thank you, John and Pat for your kindness and consideration to other missionaries. The pictures are awesome.
