This one will be quick as we have a lot to accomplish today. Have to coordinate for the accommodations for the Kilili temple patrons visit to Nairobi for next week, get some prices on a pump and tanks for a joint shamba venture up-country, grocery shopping (we just veged in our flat on Saturday), pick up supplies at the Service Center for our branches, and get ready to host FHE this evening. No major changes in our visits to the branches this last week except we delivered a wheel chair to a little non-member crippled girl one of the members informed us of and there was another investigator showed up for a discussion at Kyambekke.
The scenery for our drives through the country is getting drier each week as we wait for the next rainy season to arrive but the animals are used to this and take advantage of the yellow grass or green trees. The people are prepping their shambas for the next season. This is all done with a big hoe and they try to get down about 12 inches as they turn the soil over for the new seeds. It sure looks like a lot of hard work. I am thinking that a roto-tiller would really be a big hit on these hill side plots but it is probably money that keeps that from happening. We do see a few farm sized tractors in the flat low lands but they are often used as much for transportation as field work. I often see a rig picking up liter sized bottles of milk left along the road. Refrigeration is not an issue as there is no electricity in those areas anyway. When the young men come to town with us they prefer Sister Bishops warm shelf life milk to my cold 3% and ice cream is a real novelty.
Love ya all,
Elder & Sister Bishop
