It feels like winter is here. Today is really chilly! I'm glad we stuck in a pair of sweats to wear around the house in the evenings. There is no inside heat! Brrr!
Our yard has finally been cleaned up. A nice yard here is no weeds just bare dirt with an occasional tree. We had done nothing since we moved in so you couldn't even see the dirt (bad mistake). Weeds had grown to about 3 feet and we have a large back yard, in fact once the weeds were cleared we discovered an orange tree in the very back corner! Two men in the Branch spent the week pulling up weeds...Now you can see lots of bare dirt....The women here sweep the dirt in their yards with short brooms about 2 1/2 feet tall. They bend over and sweep a pattern into the dirt! This woman won't be doing that and neither will the man who lives here. lol
We appreciate the emails and letters we have received from you. Thank you! Mail to a missionary is like Manna from Heaven.
On Easter Sunday we were in Kanye for church. During Gospel Principles class they were talking about the ressurection. One man raised his hand and said, "If you lose your hand you can get an artificial hand, if you lose a leg you can get an artificial leg, but if you cut off your head you will have to wait til the ressurection."
Since the weather has turned cold we see many donkey carts with a load of wood for their fires. You can smell wood smoke in the air all around just now! Africa English! If someone tells you that they will be right back just now. You know it may be tommorrow before you see them again. But if they say "I'll be right back just now now" that means they really will come right back!
We continue to love these people and the gospel what a blessing to be able to serve a mission in Africa. Next blog will be longer with more infomation also I am going to try to insert pictures again if I'm sucessful "Ohh Happy Day" I've change a setting on our camera so the next pictures I take should be able to load faster.
We are going to a game park this week so will have some animal pictures to prove we really are in Africa!!
