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.

These are the tomato plants we are growing on on our balcony patio. This is one month's growth. Should have some edible fruit in another month. Penny is sending some more seeds. Those should arrive in about a week, or maybe six months. Ya never know.

Seat belts do save lives!


And miracles do happen. This is the result of Elder Flinders avoiding hitting a bicycle unexpectedly crossing the highway. There were four elders in the truck. Just moments before, one of them in the back seat reminded the other he should be wearing his seat belt which he buckled. They all walked away with no injuries. Elder Flinders tried to find the bicycle rider to assure him they were okay, but he took off probably thinking he had killed someone. Not to worry. We don't drive this highway very often.
