Happenings

 

This is the result of having a basal cell carcinoma operated on! Seven stitches - not much discomfort or pain.  Elder Smith is a good nurse - he watched and  said the cancer was about the size of a cherry.  We are grateful for good medical help and processes!
Those are the sewer pipes that run up the side of our apartment building - Dukes Court.  Elder and Sister Goodson lived on the ground floor and were having water leaks in their flat - both bathroom and kitchen floor.  They moved to the newer apartment building, Oxford 51, and the day after they moved - the pipes were fixed!
They are replacing the electrical wires in the whole Area Office.  this is our area and we had to take our computers to another room to work!  

Finished product - really looking nice!  More plus and less power bars!  

Senior Sisters out to lunch to celebrate Sister Simmons and Sister Fox - we always enjoy our time together!
When I made the reservation (booking) I was asked who had the birthdays - then when we got to the restaurant they had this cute sign!
This is a stuffed Wart Hog at Cambanos store - it's nice to see where the wart hog teeth key chains come from - the lower smaller tusks! 
Our whole Area Office is participating in a Light the World campaign.  We are collecting items for a shelter for abused women and children.  There are boxes all around the campus and this is the one in our part of the office. 
This is the box  - we can order items from a company called Take A Lot and pay online and they deliver to the office!  Great project - however, I liked last years better - providing clothes, toys and candy to an orphanage!  I guess there are many ways to Light The World!!!!

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.
