LIVING IN THANKSGIVING DAILY

We started off November with Zone Conference.

P-Day at Fort Jesus.  Turks build it in 1589.  It has changed hands many times from the Sultan's of Oman, to Arabs, to Portuguese.

Portuguese Vasco deGama first comes to Mombasa in 1498.  Mombasa's natural harbor attracted attention so everybody started coming!!

This is our missionaries left after transfers.  2 more left & we received 3 more.  From Left to right, Elder's Mloyi, Harper, Kunz, Hawke, Munatsi, Us, (kneeling is Mkungu & Haynes)

Another camel ride.  Then the Indian Ocean with Sister Hall.  The Hall's are a delightful couple from Plain City.  We didn't know them before mission, we had to travel half-way around the world to meet them.  But it was worth it!!

Thanksgiving Dinner at the Broadbents.   There was even Turkey.  The Pumpkin Pies added up to be $22 US Dollars, because the cans of Pumpkin were $6 each.  They even tasted  like a million dollars!!

Below is our Couples Conference.  We were on the "Panel Discussion of Strengthening Branches"   There were many wonderful ideas & spiritual thoughts given this day.  Together with good company, it added up to be a grand day.  Then we flew back to Mombasa in only 45 minutes.  Compare that with 7 hours of "hard" driving & you see why I'm a happy missionary!!
