Second Week of 2022

 

This is our door decoration for now!  Several of the missionary apartments we have lived in had a picture of the Savior either on the door or in a window - we will do the same!
Walking this morning we saw this Haughty Bird - they are large and 'caw' like a crow with a sore throat! Really a loud, ugly sound!
Also on our walk we found this 'Secret Garden' looking door! 
Sam and Lilly - she is trying to figure who those funny people are on the screen!  Sam says she is eating real food now and loving it!! She can roll over both tummy to back and back to tummy - go Lilly!!!
The young man in the brown suit coat was baptized last Sunday, confirmed this Sunday - Elder Hughes on the far left, Elder Chanzu from Kenya on the right.  Simbona brought a friend to church!  
Here are the two wonderful new saints of the Kwa-thema Ward - the sweet sister is Emma Elizabeth! 
I got my first hair cut here in Africa - I like it better when I can do it!
This is how the beautician did my hair - I call it the Captain Kangaroo look!  Elder Smith kept saying it doesn't even look like you!  She asked after the cut if the blow dry should flip up or down, I said down thinking that up would be like Bozo the clown - I may try that next time!  
Look up  pictures of Bozo and Captain Kangaroo if you didn't watch cartoons and children's shows in the 70 -80's!!

Senior Couples Give Thanks!

Image
On Saturday, November 27th, all the senior couples got together for a wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner.  So much delicious food and great company!  We made stuffing, deviled eggs and pumpkin cheesecake for our contributions.  Room full of such great senior missionaries!!   Darling Lilly, sleeping on Thanksgiving Day - Sam wanted us to see her cute dress!!   The Mission sewing machine - passed around from senior sister to senior sister - I used it for a week and then it wouldn't work!  We are taking it to a shop for repairs and Elder Smith bought me a new one - Singer basic - Merry Christmas to me! Fun African fabric I found at a local shop - will make great bowl cozies!  We found these cows on the side of the road near our Chapel in Kwa Thema!!  There were these pretty yellow Lily's also on our drive to church.

Area Office

  Sunday October 31, Elder and Sister Elggren drove us to our assigned ward - the Kwa Thelma 2nd ward.  It was Stake Conference and both wards met together - great talks!  Wonderful to meet the people we will be serving on Sundays.  It is about a 40 minute drive from the city - delightful children. The Temple is right next to the Area Offices - all are in a park like setting - an old estate that the Church purchased. View from behind the temple. Little lizard on the post of the steps into the office!   Part of the Office buildings - underground parking door in the middle of the picture. The door to our department. Desk in front is Elder Smith's - mine just behind it.  Further on is the Humanitarian couple's office. Interesting poster in another hallway.

Our Self Reliance Office

  Brother Philip showing Elder Smith some of the places we have Pathway students.  He has traveled extensively all over the world. He is really a wonderful manager - his office is right next to ours.  This is a poster we have been working on - the senior couples will take it to their individual chapels this weekend and ask the Bishop/Branch President if they can post it on the bulletin board...hopefully! Elder Smith hard at work! Copy machine in the background - Display behind it...for projects. Sister Smith hardly working!!   Both of our desks - it is nice to be working on this mission together.
