Around town

One day walking to the Mission Home, Alan saw all of these interesting African things.

These men are fixing the courtyard pavers at our flat. The one in the red shirt had no shoes and working the cement with his feet all day long.

These cement benches, pots, etc, are for sale and are lined up along the street.

These are pictures of various items advertising that he is a plumber.  Some of the floats, etc. were probably for sale as well!  Not a very big store! he is sitting near by waiting to make a house call.

The women all carry their babies like this                

on their backs until they are about 3.

These guys are just heading to work! In the background is a packed Seventh Day Adventist church. 

If you want your lawn mowed you can find him waiting a busy intersection.

Another Alan went with Elder Bodily to inspect the missionary flats and ran into (almost literally) this market where the road just ended and there was not where else to go except through the people!

Women often carry very heavy items on their heads.  These are relatively small loads compared to some that we have seen (when we have had no camera)!

The goats belong to a the Elders neighbor who is  Muslim. He later sacrificed them in remembrance I

of Isaac being spare by a goat.

A beautiful African sunset.  These sunsets are so red because of the many fires set to burn the undergrowth.  They just light the fires and let them burn unattended.  And the flames never seem to spread beyond what they really want to burn!
