President & Sis. Kaufusi travel to Mt. Hagen

The 2nd stop in Mission Tour was to Mt. Hagen. President & Sis. Kaufusi along with the AP's travelled to Mt. Hagen. They visited the nearly completed chapel in banz, complete with Missionary Living quarters. The saints welcomed Pres. & Sis. Kaufusi and had a short meeting before they departed. They also stopped near at the markets to buy some delicious fruits. They arrived back the same afternoon. One little mishap occurred while in Mt. Hagen the mission camera went missing. The AP's then found out that the G4S security had taken the camera. Luckily with a lot of prayers and help from the Mt. Hagen missionaries the camera was returned. Another great miracle.
