UH OH!


The gutters here in Bujumbura are humongous!!  They swallow cars if given the chance!

UH OH II  !  ………………………………………………………………………………………...

We woke one morning to find that the papaya tree which had been standing in our back yard was now lying flat on the ground in our back yard.  

No problem.  We pulled it back to standing position and propped it with an old piece of metal.  Here's hoping it will make it!

Relief Society Activity

I went to my first Relief Society Activity last week which was a demonstration of how to cook crepes, rice and meat.  The activity was scheduled to start at 11:00am, but didn't really get under way until about 1:00pm and lasted until about 4:00pm.

This is Sister Clementine who used the time to do her wash in her multiple buckets and then put the clothes out on the lawn to dry.

This Sister is mashing garlic, onions, celery stalks to put in the rice.

This Sister is washing the vegetables in a pail of soapy water.

 This is Jacqueline, our Relief Society President, chopping up the vegetables.

Some of the younger sisters of the branch mixing the crepe batter.

Sister Nana working on the meat part of the meal.

 Everyone had a good time!  They do love to laugh.

The crepes were yummy, as was the rice.  The meat was a bit tough.  But I was proud of them for actually having a Relief Society Activity!
