Sunday, January 16th

 

Sunday, January 16, we had another baptism in our small Kwa-Thema 2nd Ward.  There was something wrong with the font and Elder Hughes had to get in and fix it - before the picture - he looks dripping wet because he was! Brother Malinda had outlasted three sets of missionaries, but he finally said he was ready!  Lovely service - our Bishop between the men in white - Elder Chanzu, from Kenya, on the right and a counselor in the Bishopric on the left.
Sam showing us all the snow in the back yard, and Lucy deciding where to go in it!!
Darling Lilly with some of her fun toys!  
More Lilly - can never get enough!
The Moroccan Tagine that I fed six people out of on Saturday evening - some of the chicken getting put away in the tupperware!
Kurt texted us that Clark was giving a talk in Sacrament Meeting - we were so happy to stay up to see and hear him.  He spoke about serving in the Lord's way and did a great job.  Matthew 25 was a scripture he used and he listed so many small ways that we can all be serving better.  Rock Star Clark!!
Not sure why this other picture is not with the first one, probably lame me!  I like that Elder Chanzu is looking at Brother Malinda.  Sundays are the best!

Senior Couples Give Thanks!

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.
