Out-The-Door

This is our new mission president(Jackson). The Church has a very sussinct transfer program. President and Sister Christensen picked up the Jacksons at the airport Wednesday afternoon and spent the evening together at the mission home. They did some business thursday morning and all the seniors met for lunch. Prior to lunch we all said goodbye to the Christensens and they were off. The rest of us had a very long lunch getting to know each other. The previous Sunday night the senior couples met with the Christensens for dinner at the Rotheys and had an emotional departure. Change is one of the constants in the mission field.

Christine

This is Christine and Sister Beachley making Chapattis. They are considering making a cookbook of Ugandan foods. Chapatti is a staple that everyone knows how to cook. However, Christine makes the best.

Christine leads the music in our Ntinda bramch. She also teaches Sunday School and is in the Branch Relief Society Presidency and teaches Institute. We often caller her President Christine.

Meet Nephi. He is the grandson of a couple Sister Beachley and I home teach. As you can see, he's not nearly as excited to see me as I am him. I did get him to wave at Sister Beachley as she took the picture. The kids here are so much fun.

This is our Family Home Evening group of young
adults. We are playing a scripture game. It started
quite small but is now regularly about 20. I think
a lot of them come just for Sister Beachley's treats.

Career Workshop

This is our latest "Career Workshop" class. Two days, sixteen hours. A really good class. I think Sister Beachley and I are getting more tan. What do you think?

What is that noise?

I noticed this tree trunk under Elder Barlow's truck one afternoon. I approached him and asked if he had been hearing any unusual noises. He obviously responded in the affirmative. He said he had been listening very carefully but couldn't figure what could be the problem. When I showed him the problem we had a great laugh. They are often taking expeditions in the wild, uncharted country and this is not a totally out of the ordinary expectation.
