This is our gas station.. It says " Tudor Filling Station" The area that we live in is called Tudor. The Africans pronounce it " Chew-dah" We love our little petro station, but the day of this picture the gas pump is missing & today as we went by the entire station was torn down. Hope they rebuild.
This is a water tank holder in a new sub-division near the town of Ukunda. It is being built by Louis Pope. A member of the church from the Sandy area. He has a contractor here, Taylor Mackay, helping him with this project of building 60 homes. They will have 2 & 3 bedrooms, built with cement & tin sheet roofing.
This is the Hindu Temple that we visited with the PEF couple from Nairobi. It is very colorful. The entire time we were here, I thought they should be playing "It's a Small World After All" or something Disney. Inside there were altars & many fresh flower blossoms. Very Interesting!!
This is the Bamburi Primary Activity Day. They were playing Musical Chairs. Even though it was very hot that day, they had a great time!
They received a new football ( soccer) ball from one of the Primary's in Ogden. They were playing games with it before playing soccer with it.
This is the entire Primary at the conclusion of their activity day. Many happy faces. They will be giving their Primary Presentation this month & we are looking forward to that.
We make many trips to "Coast Bus Station" It's transfer day again. Elder Atkins ( in the sun glasses) & Elder Phillips (right of Elder Atkins) will be leaving us. Elder Atkins will be completing his mission & returning home to Johannesburg. Elder Phillips will be transferred to Kisumu. They're gonna miss us!!
This is the market across from the bus station. I am bargaining with the "mama" for the vegetables.
She must have just "loved" the way I bargain, because she gave me a big kiss. Elder Scott says I need to get better at it because everybody loves to see me coming!
This is Baby Adam. He is 2 days old.
This is David & Maureen Kamau. This is their 2nd child, but the only one living. Their little girl died at 10 months old. They are delighted to have Adam in their family.
This is Maureen coming home from the hospital after staying overnight from delivering Adam. It was raining so we couldn't take her in the truck to her home. Her home is the one on the right. I was supposed to help her, but my feet got stuck in the mud & I couldn't move. The one with the umbrella is carrying little Adam up the hill. The others are carrying her belongings & I was supposed to help Maureen, but she ended up helping me.
This is Jeremiah. He is a shoe repairman that got ill in 1998 & it left him paralyzed from the waist down. He runs a shop outside his home.
Today he was presented with brand new wheels. The tires are flat, but they are getting pumped up & he will learn to drive his new wheelchair instead of using crutches.
This is Benard & Jael Mwabere. They gave the wheelchair to Jeremiah. Jeremiah was so happy this day that "HE COULDN'T SPEAK HIS JOY"
