Dancing at Ndere, Home of Hope, Skits at our Christmas program,

Women dancing at Ndere Center. Kind of like the Polynesian
Culture Center in Hawaii. They could move their hips!! The
senior couples and office workers went for an outing.

These men could jump very high! 

My favorite of the whole evening! The men came in with these
heavy drums on their heads, beating the drums with  the sticks
in their hands and also would kick the drum with their foot!!
All done in unison and no drum was dropped!!

The ladies balancing their pots and dancing. The whole evening
was wonderful and we finished by dancing with the performers
and drummers. Everyone had fun!

Building washing facilities for the Home of Hope. This is one of
our projects. Home of Hope has children that are disabled and
handicapped and needed help with more water and the wash
station. The church has provided 2 tanks for water catchment.

The front of the building with some of the kids out on the porch.

This will be wonderful when it is completed. I will post pictures
from handover sometime in January.

We decided to build a wash stand so the women don't have to
bend to the ground to wash.

Lots of wash for the 35+ kids that live here! Looks like more
lines needed for hanging clothes!

Our Christmas program even had a visit from Santa (Elder Burdette)
one of the A.P.s with our other A.P, Elder Tsele. These guys
are great and work hard!

The Elders from Ntinda. Elders Barker, Burdette, and Moyes.
Barker is from Herriman and Moyes is from Magna. Burdette
is from Washington.

Rest of the missionaries from Ntinda. Sister Mwakajita, Elder
Schweitzer, Tsele, Sister Kongo and Elder Kityega. Muzungu
elder is from St George and all the rest from Africa!

This is the Nsambya Zone. They did a great dance using only
a pan for a drum. Very good dancing even from the Muzungus!

Sisters from Jinja. Told the story of the restoration by only
singing hymns with their beautiful voices. And finished with
a dance. Well done!

These are our Njeru Elders. E Thomas, Casperson, Leting and
Essoun. All are from Africa except Casperson, (Idaho) These
guys are doing a great work and have baptisms almost weekly!

Our Ntinda Elders getting back to work! They walk everywhere
and I was surprised to see them out by the Northern Bypass.
Very far from their apartment!!

A beautiful sunset on the Nile. We were at the Jinja Sailing Club
for an activity with Public Affairs and all the local journalists.

Safari to Paraa and Chobe in Uganda Dec8-11 2015

Our handsome tour guide on the ferry up to Murchison Falls.
We are once again on the Nile river.

This sign is posted everywhere. No feeding the wild animals!
Does that include the tour guide?

The first animal, a cute monkey begging for food on the road.

Not so cute baboon, begging.

Looks like an old guy waiting for someone to bring him dinner!

When we got close up with the giraffe Ralph thought they were
quite regal as they moved, very smooth and graceful.

African Buffalo. Usually with a couple of birds. 

Haartebeest. Not misspelled. 

We all decided these were quite homely! They can run 80 kph!

The Paraa lodge. Very nice and modern, but color to the water
so they gave us bottled water each day. Probably water right
from the Nile.

This guy has a sore on his neck probably from fighting.

Warthog

We saw lots of these warthogs and they were not pretty!
Have a speed of 55kph

Dik Dik They are quite small and this guy needed to have braces
on his horns. They are growing in the wrong direction.
Warthogs behind him.

More African buffalo or sometimes called cape buffalo.

These can be quite aggressive and can run 57kph! The white
bird are always nearby. They can find insect for their meals
in the turned over dirt from the buffalo's hoof.

The first elephant we spotted. Because he is alone he old and
and probably close to dying. They are driven out from the herd.

Crazy Muzungus taking pictures.

I thought this guy had on a white sweatband but it is his ears.
They are white.

I think this may be a Kob.

More giraffes

Hippos in the Nile. They stay in the river all day and then at nite
come out to eat grass. Speed 30kph

May be a water buck. Looks like Utah elk.

Pres Chatfield and senior missionaries relaxing.

Paraa lodge from the back.

Crocodile Not very fast 15kph. We watched a duck come close
and wondered if he would be dinner. Croc not hungry.

More monkeys

Hippos

Murchison Falls, Spectacular!!

Most of our elephant pic are from behind because as soon as they
see us they take off.

The hippos are huge almost like an elephant.

Monkey but don't know which.

This is E/S Johnson from Ethiopia by an elephant toy tree.
They say the elephants will swing these around with their trunk.

Our view from our room in Chobe of the Nile.

Last day and ready to get back to work. But what a great trip!!
with nice accommodations and meals included, so we all overate!

One last pic of the Nile river.
