Water Everywhere.

We recently had an experience where the elders called us and wanted Elder Kimball to come and help give one of their investigators a blessing because he thought he was having a heart attack. This picture is Elder Kimball walking back over the planks after checking out the investigator. When he was crossing one of these bridges to get here, one of the planks broke and after about 3 steps to try and catch his balance, he fell in.

While Sister Kimball waited for Elder Kimball to go see the investigator, these children brought her a chair to sit on. They live in these little shacks that you can see in the pictures.

This was there hopscotch that they would just trace into the wet sand, (we are in the rainy season, so everything is wet). They showed us how to play on a round one and it looked hard. If you look in the background, you can see another bridge that connects the little islands.

Here are a couple of pictures that Elder Kimball sent to his grandkids. There are lizards of all sizes...And the following is what he shared about the water wells. This one is by one of our church buildings.
Our mission President Phillip Squires first came to this part of Africa on a humanitarian mission and he helped the people here learn how to dig a well down to good water and how to keep it clean. He worked with many people here to dig many wells. When they dig a well they put a top on it to keep it clean and with a pump so the people can get the water when they need it. We have one of the wells he put in right next to one of our church houses and we see little kids come all the time to pump water. They make a game of it, sometimes they just jump up and down while they pump, sometimes they do a little dance while they pump, sometimes they sing and sometimes they see who can pump the fastest. It always amazes me when I see these very little kids carrying the plastic jugs of water, I can't believe they can even lift it.
