TIME WITH FRIENDS AND SAYING GOOD-BYE TO AMY

Dinner and ice-cream with our good friend Carla Vieira and her daughter Yara.

We love to visit the Quiames.

They are such good people.

A sample of her delicious food.

Nina has come to live with the Quiames after her father died.  She is such a happy girl.

Some of the men trying to get Mindy's video to play on the "big screen".

...and they did it!!

With some of those we love...

President and Sister Quiame (District President), Nina, Sister Merrill, President Merrill, Amy,

Brother Nataniel Fernandes (Sister Quiame's son), President and Sister Nequetala (Counselor)

TIME TO SAY GOOD-BYE... :-(

to Amy.

At the airport waiting to say good-bye.

Thank you Amy for your visit and for sharing your love. 

SAO MIGUEL FORT--ANTONIO NETO MEMORIAL

Sao Miguel Fort

We have visited this place many times.  This Fort overlooks the city and the waterways.  It was used during the Portugal war when Angola was trying to gain their freedom from Portugal.  It is really amazing how much of the city and the ocean you can see from here.  

This is the view leaving the fort.  You can see the government buildings in the background. 

Hmmmm.....what???  

I bet Amy didn't even know she had grown rabbit ears.

 
Look at this key!!!  If you had to carry more than one that would be quite a large key ring!!  Now to go find the door it goes to.

Maybe Amy found the locked door? 

Or maybe she is trying to close it?

This wall has cannon ports everywhere. 

Can you see the fishermen way out providing 
for their family. 

Here we are in the heat!!  Are we having fun yet?

Antonio Agostinho Neto Memorial

Antonio Neto was the first elected President in Angola after they won their freedom from Portugal. He left a great legacy and helped the Angolans in so many ways.

Checking out the grounds and the statues.

 

 
Time to enter...

 
These bronze statues represent all the different ways of life in Angola.  
Nurse, miner, farmer, oil worker, mother, etc.
 

 
With Amy and Sister Henry in front of the Angola flag.

 

 
Elder Henry and President Merrill with our tour guide.

 
Always missionaries...teaching the tour guide about the church.
