  • Missionary moments: Eternal bonds

    The day, Aug. 24, 2005, was a fine day for the Missionary Training Center in Tema, Ghana. We were the center of the universe for two young men. Elder Georges Grah from Ivory Coast was on his 12th day in the MTC and Elder Greg Sterling Dixon was on his 730th day and heading home. Elder Dixon, of Kaysville, Utah, had just finished his mission in Cameroon, a French speaking country east of us — and part of the new Cape Coast mission.
