Visitors at our Meeting

This was taken at one of our Outreach meetings a week ago. To start off, there were only 5 YSA there and we were watching a church history video. We were sitting on the first 2 rows. After a bit, I heard some shuffling behind us and I turned around and there were all these adorable little children about 4 rows deep. Too Cute!

Piano Students

These are my 3 piano students. We only have access to 1 keyboard, so they meet me an hour before we do our Outreach and they practice the same songs, just in different octaves. Never a complaint.

High School

This is outside one of their High Schools. They wear uniforms to most of their schools all the way through high school.

Bridge

This is a narrow bridge that will only allow auto traffic one way at a time. You can't see the other side to know when cars are lined up to cross on the other side so sometimes you start up and get about 1/3 of the way across and see another car coming at you from the other side. One has to back up to allow the other through. As you can see, the motor bikes go whenever and wherever they think they can fit and sometimes it plugs up the whole bridge.

Service Project

These were shots of a service project we did with the young single adults at the Sinkor building which is one of the district centers here in Liberia.

Water Well

This is a well that is located just outside of our Gardnersville Branch Building. They keep the well locked up except for a few hours each day when people line up to get their water. If they left it open the water would get too low and it would foul the water. (There was an article about this in the Church News in Sierra Leone on March 1st or March 8th.)

Hotel

This is one of the floors of a very exclusive hotel which was gutted during the war by the governments own troops. When they could not afford to pay the troops in the war with the rebels, many of the troops were housed in the hotel and they began taking the hotel apart piece by piece until everything that was movable (even granite floor tile for instance) was gone and sold off to buy food. This picture is of the dining area of the hotel which was very plush before the war and would have compared with any five-star hotel anywhere in the world.

Happy Anniversary

This is a picture of our Anniversary Dinner. We had chicken tacos at our house. We had Elder and Sister Cutler over to help celebrate.

Transfers

A couple of weeks ago we drove to the border of Sierra Leone/Liberia to take some Elders from our area who were leaving and pick up some new ones that were coming back with us. This is us outside of the Border check station. These were the 4 Elders that are leaving us along with Elder and Sister Cutler (the other couple serving in Liberia)

This is a market in one of the small towns along the way.

Animal Friends

This is the only Zebra we have seen since being here. This is the Lizard that Grandpa has told all of the grandkids about, that they are all dying to see.

Some new Friends

Look closely to see her friend that's on her shoulders.
