This month was one of Happiness & Heartbreak. Nancy Kosgei was the Relief Society President in the Bamburi Branch. She died December 10, 2011 from complications of Childbirth. Her burial was December 17, 2011 in Serem (near Kapsabet) This is one of her neighbors putting flowers on her grave. The carnations are the ones we brought, but the others are just weeds & flowers that grow along the roadside, which work just fine.
This is part of the Kosgei Family on the day that Nancy came home from the hospital. We were going to come back later to take another photo when her daughter & son came home from school, but we didn't get it done before she passed away.
This is Baby Verlene Joy Kosgei. Born Dec. 3, 2011 to Cleophus & Nancy Kosgei.
A familar sight on the road out of Eldoret. This is why we love that place!!!
In Nairobi, we found Santa Clause. Here in Africa, Santa is always "skinny"
On the road out of Eldoret, we followed this "picky picky"( motorbike) Notice the off-set tires. He really had to hold on tight or else that thing would have thrown him off!!
This is the Mwambere Family in Mombasa. We had a"'photo shoot"with them this month when they were all home from school. Elder Scott was the photographer for Family Pictures.
When we were in Eldoret, we found our "African daughter" Vivian. She has grown so tall & is very active in the Young Women's Program which makes us very happy for her.
Verlene & Winnie Mutiso singing us a song at their home in Eldoret. They are such good singers & growing so much, speaking very good English, & they love Elder Scott to tickle them!!!
Christmas Day in Mombasa. We ate Chicken ( Kuku) Mashed Potatoes & gravy, Peas & Carrots, Rolls, Brownies & Ice Cream with Soda to drink. Then the Elders had planned a Devotional, which was all about the Savior. Christmas with the missionaries always are very spiritual & are what Christmas is all about!!
This is in our yard at our flat on Christmas Day. We sent this to all the Elder's families for their Christmas Card!! This was the best that we could do, we had a lot of "out takes" which was the most fun.
Elder Mloyi from Zimbawe helped untangle the Christmas lights for our Christmas Tree. It was the 1st time that he had ever seen or decorated a Christmas tree. He had only seen one in a magazine. This was his "best" Christmas!!!
