This is the newest member of the Ilima Branch. Jacinta is holding her daughter Hilda. I had the privilege of giving a name and a blessing to Hilda before we started teaching Jacinta. I guess that makes up for missing out on the blessings of our own grandkids during these 23 months.
In our many trips up country there has only been about 6 days that the clouds and haze around Mt. Kilmanjaro has allowed us to see it. This is one of those days. The mountain is an extinct volcano with 2 peaks. We can generally see snow on one of the peaks when we do see it.
Theses are pictures of 2 goats that Sister Bishop took for JJ's edification. Because they get around so well and can live on about anything and go great in their stews there are a lot of them. We will see some tethered to bushes along the roads in the hills, some just running loose feeding wherever they want, or herds being shepherded in the low country. Some herds we see probably number close to a hundred or more.
This a picture of Mawenda about 1 year after we first took her to Mother Teresa's Sisters of Charity. She really seems to be enjoying it there and seems to have gained a little weight.
These are pictures of some of Mwenda's fellow residents in their new roll around beds and wheelchairs. LDS Charities contracted their construction here in Kenya. It might not be evident in the pictures but in person it was very easy to tell that each of them was thrilled with their new transportation. For those that are bed ridden they can now roll them out to enjoy the sunshine and outdoors.
