September update, a few pictures

 children playing on a downed tree.  They love to pose for pictures and always want to see.  Typical mud huts in background.

 All Africa helping hands day in Kisumu.  Wearing the yellow shirts.  Joseph, and I don't know the names of the others.

 Shot of the group getting ready to go to work.  A lot more than this showed up.  About 72

 Joseph, Sister and Elder Jorgensen.  Don't we look stylish?

 Working hard

 Girls like to work too.  Wonder where the boys are right now!

 Even the more "senior" sister in the work force.

Yes, I can push a wheelbarrow.   President Okila's son

Stacking rock for the construction project for a new building in our circle.  All of these rocks were hauled in ten wheel trucks and tossed off the trucks by hand.  They used a tape measure and carefully stacked the rock in piles.  Later they brought in several more loads of grey rock and tossed this pile over onto the other one and piled grey rock here instead which they also stacked very carefully with a tape measure.  Now they are out there with hammers and chisels  making sure the rocks are square.  They mixed and poured concrete with a motor powered cement mixer and hauled it in buckets and wheelbarrows to pour it in the trenches that they had dug with picks and shovels.  Labor is cheap

 The globe that marks the Equator on the road to Busia.  We finally stopped and took a picture on the equator.

 Elder Olsen on his transfer day.  We will miss him.

 Elder Jackson on his transfer day.  Another of our "Boys" going away. 
The upper picture is of a group of children from Nyabondo.  We tried to teach them the song "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam"  They just didn't seem to get it.  Later we learned that they don't speak English, just Lou, President Obama's family language.

Sister Jorgensen and a Maasai posing for pictures.  Note the sign.  This patio is just off the outside dining area where we ate lunch on Sunday.

 Lake Nakuru game park.  There are baboons and monkeys everywhere.  We were warned to keep the windows up or they will jump in the vehicle looking for food.  We were going to a Senior Couples Conference here.

 Those aren't Angus cows we are looking at!  A herd of cape buffalo

 Just come on over here, I dare you.  This old boy was giving us the once over.  No, I didn't try to get closer

Some of his friends grazing away.

 Baboons in trees.  These weren't very friendly and climbed up when I stopped to take their picture.  Another troop didn't want to get out of the road and we had to drive around them.

 Singers welcoming us to supper at the Lake Nakuru Lodge.

 View from our Patio on Sunday morning.

 Baboon going down our walk.

 Lake Nakuru Lodge from the backside.

 Is that a water buffalo or something?  He was taking it easy just over the fence from the dining room of the lodge.

 Monkey eating berries.  He just wouldn't turn and look at us.

 Rhinos and zebras.  We couldn't get closer to them.  A lot of the animals were just too far away to get pictures with our camera.

 Just go fast and you can make it through!  We did too.  Mud flying.  Monday morning another couple got stuck a little farther down the road.  Everyone get out and push!

 Can't shoot me.  Nanner nanner.

 A lady posing for the camera.  Just don't open the door.  I could almost reach her with a broomstick.

 OK just get out of the car and come a little closer!  I won't bite you very hard, I promise.

 A big rhino.  He got tired of us and trotted away.  His horn is really long.

Right next to the road.  Wasn't scared of us or anything.  Went right back to grazing after I snapped this picture.

Another antelope of some kind.  There were a bunch of them grazing alongside the road

 Turn your head this way monkey.  It never did but just walked off

 Part of our group at supper on Saturday night.  Elder and Sister Hall.  Yes, he is tall.

 President Broadbent next to Sister Jorgensen with more of our group.

A picture of the acres of tea plantations on the hills going to Kerichio.  There are thousands of acres of tea on the hills around here.  We passed a group of white cabins with red tiled roofs that are used to house the tea plantation workers.  They brought mechanical pickers in over by Eldoret and about had riots when they put people out of a job picking tea leaves.  They went back to hand picking.
