We drove with Dr. & Sister Theuson to Oda, Ghana to observe Sister Sudweeks and her literacy students. Sister Sudweeks is the short sister standing. These are some of her literacy students from the branch where Elder & Sister Sudweeks are serving. It was quite impressive what they had been able to learn. Some of the students have been studying for a year, but they are able to read quite well. Their favorite books are the scripture story books with pictures that you usually read to your children. Although they still stumble over the meaning of some words, they can pronounce most of them. They meet each week in Sister Sudweeks apartment. Elder & Sister Sudweeks previously served a mission to Zimbabwe. They were home about 2 months and decided that the mission field was the place for them. They love serving in Ghana. All of Elder Sudweek's siblings are also serving missions. One is in Kenya, and 2 are serving in South America. The Sudweeks are just simple folks, but they know how to love. We wish we had a dozen more like them. She is also teaching these sisters how to embroider. The sister seated next to me designs batik fabric. She and the sister next to her are wearing fabric which she designed and printed. This is how she helps support her family. These Ghanaian sisters are all serving in their branch in leadership positions.
