Twikatane Health Post Groundbreaking

Another great week with a Groundbreaking, projects,

 zone conference and office duties.  

Attended the Twikatane Health Post groundbreaking ceremony

 which was as big a deal as any of our handover ceremonies. 

 The church is building a health post and the community

 is building a staff house and latrines.  

Had a very large crowd including a member of parliament (like a congressman)
 and the district leader. 

Several great songs and a group made up a P-O-E-M that was great

  They memorize long parts too.

Grandpa even got to break ground.  No shovels here. 

 The grubbing hoe is the tool of choice.

At zone conference, we got to do some role playing on a
 ward missionary coordination meeting. 

Great sister missionaries in our Zone.

The Woodlands zone.  Love these missionaries!

Took Elders Tishumbundu (DRC) and Iboi (Tonga) to a Dr. appointment.
 They didn't get any breakfast because the power was out so they were hungry.
  Each put away a large pizza.  Often people are without power for
 10-12 hours a day but for some reason we have been
 very lucky with power most of the time.

The church purchased some sewing machines, fabrics, and table/chairs
 for 'African Smiles'.  They are teaching people with disabilities how to make items
 to sell including bags, shirts, ties, dresses, etc.  

Had a great baptism for 3 people last week. 
One is a police commissioner so Grandpa hopes he can stay out of trouble now.
