School Days

We spent one day this week with Elder Harris who is the senior missionary in charge of humanitarian aid. He showed us what he has stockpiled that we can use for welfare support, introduced us to a Dr. with a couple of hospitals that we can do some community service at, and then let us accompany him to a small private school to deliver some books and school supplies. Here is Elder Harris with the headmaster.


The kids just swarmed around us wanting to shake hands and have their picture taken. They especially like looking at themselves in the picture once it is taken. One little fellow really seemed enamored with my hands. I couldn't tell if it was my fat fingers or their color that captured his attention.


The kids really mobbed Sister Bishop and her camera but then when it came time to leave they all backed up to their buildings and allowed us to turn the truck around and leave.

The little ones are so innocent looking, open, and appreciative. We were at church yesterday and the alarm on the truck went off. When I went to investigate some of the primary children were wiping the dust off the truck so they could see their reflection in the side of the vehicle.
