A TRIP TO LIKASI

Remember when I told you about the sister missionaries randomly
breaking into song for us when we delivered soutien to their
appartment?  This was the occasion. All 8 of these sisters live
together in one apartment. 



This is a cool hand carved kitchen devise that is
used to grind grain for their main food - foufou.
This was in the sister's apartment.

We went to Likasi to deliver soutien and these are a few of the sights
along the way.





Look at these precious faces.  This primary group is singing for us
at the music festival that we attended.  Notice how reverent they
are with their arms folded.




More singers - look at that little face



A market street in Likasi, close to the elders' apartment.  We couldn't get
all the way down this street because of the deep ruts.  This picture
isn't very clear but the entire street is full of people.



VISITING VINCENT AND SANTA



Sorry the blogs are few and far between.  When
we have a free Saturday, often the power is either
not working or is so poor that I can't upload pictures.
However, today the power is great and so is the water. 
We are getting all kinds of things done.  I'm even baking
today!  This is a picture of Vincent and his family.  Do you
remember when I told you about visiting them?  They are in our
ward at church.




Vincent and Santa and their kids, Devine and Celestine.  Check out how
big and beautiful their home is.  He is one of the few lucky ones who
has a good job with the oil company.  Being with their kids made me miss
my grandkids!!



Devine - 5 years old



Love this picture.  It always makes me laugh.  Check out the
French Dora the Explorer video in the background.  And all this time
I thought Dora spoke Spanish, not French.




Santa and Celestine




Neighborhood kids playing in front of the house




It seemed like all these neighborhood kids were
playing make-believe with their costumes.



He must be the king.  His crown and wrist band
are made from huge leaves.
