Local Color



I thought this group at the well was a very colorful sight.  When we stopped the car to look and take a picture, the ladies all primped and posed and those working the hand pump doubled their speed.

Local kids--very cute of course

We have been having spectacular dry winter weather, enabling all the local fields to be used for soccer.  Mozambicans are perhaps not as enthusiastic about the sport as Brazilians, but they still like it alot.

This was the snack offerred at a lesson today.  Some variety of potato, cooked but otherwise ungarnishd.  I cant say that it was awful, but Debbie did seem to like it more than I.

Elder Gibson, who is an otherwise intelligent young man, approached a dog and placed his hand on its head to calm the troubled beast.  He is pictured here getting his had bandaged and examined by visiting humanitarian missionary and Nurse Practitioner, Sister McSweeney.  He displays no sign of rabies, but we have to tie him up to keep him from chasing cars.
