The two couples in this and next photo have just finished their 18-24 month church  missions in  W. Africa and the folks made the wall hangings you see.  The Andersons shown here are from Alaska.  He was the area physician and she assisted him and also worked in literacy.  We got to know them somewhat in the 2 weeks our paths crossed.  Dr. Anderson used to raise mushing dogs and twice completed the Iditarod race in Alaska.  That race covers about 350 miles and takes 8-15 days, frequently in horrible weather conditions.  Dr. Anderson served the young men of Ghana as their scoutmaster.  

The Peines served as Area Mental Health Advisors.
An interesting piece of life we never considered before we came here is that every few weeks some of your dear friends are completing their missions and returning to their various homes, just as these couples are doing.  We have quickly found that these good-byes can be emotional events as we develop bonds by serving W. Africa in many different ways and locations.
