Rand had a piece of tooth or composite fall out of his mouth last week.  We weren't sure what it was so we made a trip to Kampala to visit the dentist.  After the visit we still weren't sure what the problem was. (We still don't communicate with them very well)   Another  dentist looked at the situation and he told us he would do an implant for 5,000,000 shillings.  Then he'd have to have three crowns at 550,000 each.  We know there is something going on with his bridge but we figured we'd rather pay more in US to be sure it was a quality job.  Not sure what we'll do with the tooth problem but for now Rand didn't have anything done. 

Rand gets a kick out of men, machinery and construction jobs.  This piece of equipment looked like a handcart much like the pioneers had except for the inflatable tires, one of which was flat.  The men were filthy but you can't really see the dusting of white all over then.

The Paradise Hotel is adding to their restaurant/kitchen service.  One day while we were there they chopped down a very big tree and dug out the roots.  Then next time we came they were digging footings.  Here they are hand mixing cement for the footings out in the parking lot.  The sand and gravel are piled there and they carry water in the yellow jerry cans.  The wheel barrels get the cement to the site then they have scoops to put the cement in the forms.

The men weren't sure they wanter their picture taken.

This was my biggest tomato that I have ever grown.  I asked Frances to be in the picture too as he is our guard and waters for me when we go out of town.  He is often seen wearing a coat.  He must have really thin blood.

We are quite proud of our tomatoes - no black bottoms here and they taste so delicious

I designed these drapes for the kitchen then had Mary, the district RS president sew them.    Mary told me I paid her Mazonga price when I paid her 30,000 shillings for the job.  (12 US dollars)   Not sure what she was going to charge but the three drapes she did for me in the living room she only charged 15,000 ($6).
The flowers are the ones we learned to make for the following RS activity.

Some of the ladies wanted to learn to make crocheted flowers.  Sister Ballsteadt invited Sister Crayk and I to help teach.  The lady in red is Sarah.  She is RS Pres in Bugembe.  She announced that she will be marrying the district second counselor next month.  There are many singles in the district here with families in the minority.
The electricity went off so we had our class out on the front porch of the church.

Immaculate is pretty sharp.  She learned how to crochet the project quickly and then went around helping the others.

Rand took a picture with me in it so that you'd know I was there.  The lady on the left is the mother of Victoria.   Victoria lives in Kampala and is a return missionary and PEF student that overs the Distribution Center down the hall from the PEF office.  She is a beautiful girl that sometimes turns up in Bugembe to see her mother.
