Dear Brother and Sister Hernandez,
Your son has arrived safely in the Ghana Kumasi Mission and has received his first assignment.  We will send a picture of Elder Hernandez with my wife and me. We are so pleased to have him in the Ghana Kumasi Mission and we appreciate your efforts in preparing him for this mission.
His first assignment will be with Elder Jacobson in the Dichemso Zone. We are grateful for his willingness to dedicate this time to the Lord and know he will come to love his service here.  We have taught him that he is literally the representative of Jesus Christ in his area. We have promised him that as he strives to do what the Savior would do each day, he will steadily become more like Him.
After the general training your son received in the Missionary Training Center (MTC), personal training in the field begins. The training of new missionaries is critical to the success of their mission.  Experienced missionaries are selected after much contemplation and prayer and assigned to be trainers. They are equipped with special resources to accomplish this important task.
Letters are a valuable aid in helping missionaries to be happy and do their best.  Therefore, we encourage you to write often.  You may send mail using the address: Ghana Kumasi Mission, PO Box PMB KS 16333, Kumasi, Ghana. Some families are maintaining contact through e-mail. Missionaries are asked to use missionary.org.  Elder Hernandez is allowed to communicate through e-mail only on preparation day, which is every Monday.  His email address is: hernandez.aaron@missionary.org   You may also follow us and join us on Facebook at "Ghana Kumasi Missionary Families."
Thank you for sharing Elder Hernandez with us.  We consider it a privilege to have the opportunity to serve with him and will delight to see him progress spiritually as he learns to love and serve our Heavenly Father's children here in Ghana.
If you have any concerns please contact us.  Our e-mail address is 1802429@churchofjesuschrist.org or you can call us at +233-544-311-846.
Warmly,

Stephen C. Webster
President, Ghana Kumasi Mission

This week was hot. Last week we went to a members house to help her fetch water. We had to carry buckets to a pipe not super far away but a nice walk then carry them back full of water. The natives here just carry it on their head but I dont like that too much so I put it on my shoulder. After we fetched 5 buckets I felt like I was going to pass out but I couldnt let the member see that so I continued until we carried a total of 7. My held a lot of dirt toward the end. We started the week with a wonderful lesson with sister Lydia who was taught by missionaries before but she didn't care so she didn't remember anything. She met someone who changed her view on the book or mormon so she decided to read it and came to church. When we went there so was so receptive to everything we taught and was so excited to learn.  We then had to prepare the apartment to receive two new missionaries. They split our area so we now have 4 in the apartment and 4 at church each su...

Last week monday after we had returned to the apartment we were cleaning some small things when we got a call from our mission president. It threw me off and I was not prepared for it at all. I answered and he wanted to speak with me and my companion on speaker. He told us that because of the situation in Liberia we need to make room in the mission for 7 missionaries coming from the MTC so my companion went on emergency transfer and I was called to train. He told us we would be leaving on Wednesday to travel to Kumasi.  Tuesday we prepared to leave by saying goodbye to some members and my companion packed. We stayed the night at the Zone Leaders to get up at 4 the next day to get on a bus to Kumasi.  We arrived in Kumasi and went to the stake center of my last area so it was nice seeing it again. I met my son there and we arranged for everyone to travel to their areas. With my area being 7 hours away we stayed at the mission home for the night. MLC ...
