Out and About

Grandma had a Mission Sisters Night while Grandpa found a good Indian restaurant.  They had dinner, devotional, and Grandma gave a talk along with others.  Sisters sang a song too...

We drove to Chisamba to talk with their Education District leaders.  Grandpa loved it because it was a farming area.  The district has a lot of challenges we hope to help with a few.  

Found where our favorite milk comes from.  There really is a difference in milk tastes.

These yellow flowering trees are in bloom everywhere.  

Stopped by the Chainda clinic.  The church is helping build a maternity building.  It is progressing well.

Inside the Chainda Maternity building.  The church will also be providing a mechanized water pump and storage tank with piping into the clinic.  Now they get water from a hand pump outside the building. 

At one of the major roundabouts there is a chicken in the middle because there is a chicken farm nearby.  They were going to destroy it and replace it with something else.

But thanks to the community, everyone wrote in to "Save the Chicken" so our beloved chicken is now safe.  

On our P-day we visited a local game reserve and went on the game drive.  Saw many animals but many were hidden in the tall grasses that have grown through the rainy season. 

Elephants would only give us their best shots.

Wildebeasts hanging out.

A shot of the Savannah land with a watering hole. 

Ostriches.  Some big birds!

There's a small giraffe in there somewhere

A member of the antelope family (can't remember the name).  Male's horns curve back but the females are straight.  This poor guy was relegated to the bachelor herd.  May go challenge the dominant male later to impress the ladies.

As we were leaving these kids were so excited to get on the truck for their drive.  

We do some flat checks so Grampa was trying to figure out this shower.  The shower head kept plugging up so the sister took it off and prefer just the stream coming out of the pipe.   Like bathing under a hose.

Elder Davis's washing machine.  All the young missionaries wash by hand. 
We are thankful we have a real washing machine.
