Elder's "P" Day for the Mombasa District. Today is an activity. We visited Fort Jesus. ( Look it up on Google, it's interesting) It is also transfer week, so 2 of our missionaries are gone & we are waiting for new ones. From L to R is Phillips, Balyejusa, Mkhabela, Dalling, Ramananaivoarison & Ayana is kneeling. A very good group of young men!!
Grandpa & Grandma Scott at Fort Jesus. The name is derived from the shape of the fort; if you get up above it, it is shaped like a "cross".
Feeding time at the Crocodile Farm. Please note the sign "No diving or swimming today" There is a man up on a platform holding on to the meat & teasing the croc's into jumping up for their food. They feed at 5 pm every day. The man announced "anyone who wants to come tomorrow for "swimming" will get in free!!!
A plaster "Big Daddy Croc" is at the entrance to the Farm. We couldn't resist putting Elder Ayana inside. He's a good sport & we love him!!
This is at the Island Elders Compound. They are digging ( by hand) a pit latrine in the parking area. This is what it looked like the day we were there.
This is what it looked like from the top of the hole. The brown dirt is "clay texture" the "white color" is a rock layer! This hole looks as though it had been drilled by machine, very round and well done.
The man at the bottom asked Elder Scott for a "soda" So we were going to "toss" one down, but the workers said, "No, No, we put in a bucket" Which made more sense. So they lowered it down to him. He said "Asante sauna"
This is at Fort Jesus. The man standing is our tour guide, Babu. The man in the tan shirt has been the "winner" of the last several games.
Checkers is a very popular game here. Everyone seems to be playing it. They just need bottle caps. One side down & the other side up. It is very inexpensive & there can be money to be made!!
Grandpa Scott with a 2 month old crocodile on his head. Grandma just stayed with taking pictures on this activity. This park is a breeding business for crocodile's for meat, skin's to be sold. They have 10,000 crocodiles.
Our trip to Nairobi to get our fingerprints for our Resident Card. Each bus is loaded down to the max. This bus has water buckets & plenty of them. The sign on the bottom says, "Keep the pot boiling"
On the road to Nairobi, a meat truck had a flat tire. We stopped to help. As soon as he saw white faces, he asked, do you have a digital jack? No we only had a regular jack which was too small for the overloaded truck he had. So we were unable to help, but did help him flag down a matatu with an "industrial strength" jack, they said "stand in the road" the matatu will stop for a wazungu (white person), sure enough the next one stopped!
The reason the truck was overloaded was it was carrying meat. In fact, it even had the cow heads in there. For those looking for a refridgeration unit, the truck needs to be in motion for the cooling to happen!!
On the road to Nairobi along side of the road.
Grandma on the Nyali Beach, Indian Ocean
Grandpa Scott negiotiating a price for bananas along the road by Kongowa Market Place.
It's really ok to stay here, they help you look for the Man Eaters! This is at the famous film "Ghosts in the Darkness" site Tsavo East Game Park near Mombasa, Kenya
Verlene thought you women would enjoy having this "plan" in the event you are going to have a baby in the future.
One of our daughters is "Shantell" but we didn't know she had a eating place here in Mombasa, Kenya!
Verlene's cousin "Kevin Hill" is close to Saint hood but isn't one yet! But he has a van over here we saw.
We didn't hear any sounds coming from this butchery, so the sign is correct.
We know about the Melchizedek Priesthood, but there is also Melchizedek Gospel Fire, on the upper floor of this building.
If the Church cannot help you, then just next door there is Health Services, LTD that will help you.
Snowflakes for "air conditioning" we had not thought of.
What can we say more?
It is a really nice course, I just have not played it yet!
You can only "pick" for three minutes, then you have to move on, at the Mombasa Air Port
If you want to be "way out" take this direction
The compounds for homes are all guarded. This one just has a different guard they employ.
We think she was really reading the sign and waiting for her stall.
At the Mombasa Posta they have these selections for delivery. We understand all but the "Up Country" because that can be anywhere out of the city you are currently in! When people leave the city they tell you they are "going up country" which could mean anywhere.
This was extra funny, because the load wasn't there, until we got closer and then a "chicken" raised up it's head and took a look at us. When the truck started to move ahead, it just disappeared into the bed of the trailer. It is the small white mark in the middle of the trailer.
