SUNDAY IN HUAMBO

Helping teach Primary in Huambo with 

Elder and Sister Henry.

In this small Branch there is only the Primary President and one teacher.  This Sunday neither of them were able to come.  As Branch President, Elder and Sister Henry stepped in to help.  So we decided to join them.  What a rewarding day it was.

President Merrill took a small group of boys and talked with them about reverence and why we come to Primary.  They were so good to listen.

Sister Merrill tried to keep the little ones entertained and taught them to be polite and share.

Sister Henry read and shared stories with some.

Elder Henry also read stories from the scriptures.

WE LOVE THESE PRECIOUS CHILDREN OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. 

FIRES AND DIFFERENT SCENERIES

During different times of the year they burn the countryside.  This helps clear the old corn stalks, etc. to prepare for the new season.  It is absolutely amazing that the fires don't burn out of control.  There is so much moisture in the air and the ground, they are very contained.  No wonder we have so many sinus problems!!  :(

Don't these look like you could be in the land of Dr. Seuss?

Or in Whoville?

 The need for speed is even in Angola. 

Monkeys on the road.  One found a banana!!

 The guards at the toll gate.  hahahaha

This tree has very strange spider webs. 

SPOOKY!!!!

 One of the very few stop signs in Portuguese. 

They usually just say STOP.

 I have NEVER seen hay bales like this here!!

I was amazed!!!

We have seen the very antique farming with wooden plows and cattle to modern day farming with John Deere. 

 And.... who needs a pickup?   Just be creative!!

Of course we are always amazed at these resourceful 
African women.

Just some cool looking buildings along the way.
