Team Ghana

Friday January 16, 2015

 The “team Ghana” picture is when we were doing the “training job” at my neighbor’s house.  The other two people going are Camron and Mark, Kim’s husband. 

Minus one day before leaving for Ghana for our huge temple project over there (over 13,000 sq ft of walls).  We have nine people going and will be training at least 8 locals (4 from Ghana and 4 from Nigeria) so they can then go to Nigeria and do our finishes in the temple there.  Just this week the product for them arrived on-site in Nigeria.  So at least they have product.  Let’s hope and pray they will have the skills and knowledge they need after working with us the next three weeks to do their project for the Nigeria Temple in March.  This is especially important because it is too dangerous for us to go there to help.

 I was pretty anxious a couple of weeks ago as I felt the weight of responsibility of this job, but I have been doing a lot of praying and woke up one night, around 3am, the week after Christmas and had the most amazing prompting that we are embarking upon a very sacred experience.  I have been completely at peace since then.  This project is unique in that it isn’t new construction, but a fully operating dedicated temple.  Everyone working with us is an endowed, worthy temple recommend holder.  I believe we will have peace and positive interaction within the group.  I believe we will feel the presence of angels and know that God makes us equal to the task at hand as we work to do His will.  I believe a little woman from Alpine can pull off a miracle because God wants me to and will give me the answers I need to overcome anything.  I believe all this because I have seen it more than once in my life and on every single temple project I have done.  I am grateful that I can use my talents for good and that God continues to magnify my abilities with each experience that I get.  Here we go!

  The “Waterfall finish” is one the finishes we will be doing in the temple there.  This is the completed “training job” when they put the room back together.  This is the exact finish and color we will be doing.
