Sorry for the lack of new photos and posts. We are in the final weeks of our mission and have so much to do and many places to go. Hopefully, we can keep up. During October we made our last trip to Mombasa and stayed with Elder and Sister Scott.

Our couples-conference was a mixture of spiritual meetings and beautiful scenery and wildlife. We stayed at the Nakuru National Park, about two hours from Nairobi.

Eighteen members of the Kilili Branch learned food storage basics and how to build a simple food dryer with local materials. We felt the workshop was successful and the group finished construction of the dryer complete with fruit and veggies.

August activities included an All-African Helping Hands Day. We participated with six branches and wards from Nairobi on a compound cleaning project. Another group worked on the other side of the city. Great people and a good project.

The newest branch in our mission is Mwanza, Tanzania. In only four months, membership has grown from six members to over 60. We taught a career workshop that was translated into Swahilli. We were accompanied by another senior couple who participated in the workshop.

We traveled to Kitale this week to teach classes at a remote branch called Mautuma. We stayed in Kitale with Elder and Sister Beecher. We had some great classes and a chance to visit with the Beechers.

A few couples took a P-Day to travel outside of Nairobi to Aberdare National Park to visit some of the waterfalls and beautiful forests. We stayed at a hotel called the Ark, since it looks like an Ark. We were able to see two rare species of animals there, the black rhino and the forest hog.
