Fri the 3 of Aug all our appointments fell through so we got the compost for the garden and planted seeds in the planters on either side of our front door to apartment.

We have a watering can in case it doesn't rain.  Some days it doesn't.

Sat. Was the YSA activity.  We don't talk politics but we wanted to send you this photo of a Young Adult's idea of a good tee shirt.  It says "Everybody want to be black" on the top and on the bottom it says "nobody wants to be black"




These birds are amazingly huge  but we don't seem to be able to get a picture that does them justice.
We keep trying though.


This was taken on Thur while waiting for our English class students to come.  They finally removed the pile of dirt that made it difficult getting to church.  There is room for two vehicles to park on the bridge in front of the church.  Luckily no one has a vehicle in the branch.  Periodically the couple missionaries drive there and need to park.

Sunday again, the shorter lady in the middle is named Agnes.  The other lady is wearing a baptismal outfit with a broken zipper.  The solution?  Wear a dress over it.
 TIA stands for "That is Africa".
White folks or Mazoongas use it often after rolling their eyes at the way things are done here.
I brought the baptismal outfit home and will see if I can fix the zipper once it dries.  Look how pretty she looks in the dress.  It really was a good solution.

I love your garden and I am so glad you are able to garden while away from home. I bet it makes you happy also! I also love the African version of "fishy crackers" at church. I will be sure to show my kids. They will get a kick out of it.
Love you and miss you

Sorry for your loss of the Wests. What a cool honeymoon and start of the marriage adventure.
That big slug is AMAZINGLY huge. I would scream and NOT step on it as I could take me on a ride.
