BY JOAQUIN ROSS

During my time in Ghana, I have been astounded by the hospitality and kindness that has been shown to us. Everybody, whether we are on the street, in a store, or at a seminary, always greet us with a smile and welcomes us to their country. There is a lot of joy that exudes from every person in Ghana and that in turn has spread to the group including myself. So when we visited Nenyo Harboror  — a home for boys who do not have a parental presence or participation in their home — and met the kids, I felt as though I wanted to also show my joy in being there with them. That led us to play and interact with them.
