 A medical clinic.  Are you really sick?
 Fixing a house by replacing the wall
 Mixing the mud for the wall.  Observe the water cans in back of him
 The truck for transporting the water cans to the job site.
 This is a latrine?  reminds me of camping in the outback.  Sister Jorgensen was not happy!
 Making mud balls to put into the wall.  I am learning to build a house.
 This is fun?  Placing mud in the walls.  I am now an experienced house builder.  You got some poles and mud?
 The wall waiting to dry so we can stucco it.

 Mormon Helping Hands across Africa day at Busia.  I am a lawnmower.  It is hard work
 I can pump water if that little girl can.  Turned out to be hard work
 President Chir-Chir cutting grass.  Don't worry, the blisters will heal
 Mixing cement

 Ready for baptism
 Happy birthday.  These digital cameras aren't too good for snapshots.  She is one today
 Ummm Good Cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 This is a manure composter to produce methane gas to cook with.  No more hunting for firewood.  We have plenty of cows.
Here Sister Erica is demonstrating her new gas cooker using her methane.  This will make her energy independent for cooking.  She still uses electricity for lights.  One of the few out on farms who has electricity.

In Idaho we are so spoiled.  We have water, electricity and heat with the turn of a valve or flick of the switch.
