YSA Activities each Friday night

 Friday nights finds about 25 YSAs at the church playing Nerf games. Trying to hit the highest number on the rolling white board.
For the others: it may involve Ping pong games.

OR volleyball or

A fun new game no one had ever played before: UNO. This was the favorite place to be.

Thanksgiving Day 2011/Welcome 3 New Elders

 This Thanksgiving we had much to be thankful for. We received 3 new elders yesterday. I will star the new ones. *Elder Khanyile, Elder Leach, Elder McDonald, *Elder Zarbock,Elder Houston and *Elder Critchfield.
Turkey, potatoes, gravy, jello, corn, cranberry sauce, crescent rolls (homemade), pumpkin pie and apple cobbler. What a feast to share with loved ones.

 They were too full to have 2 desserts so
returned later that night to have the cobbler and
make plans for Windhoek missionary service.
These three elders have really given us all energy for proclaiming the gospel. We are so blessed.

New landscape at Katutura

This was a fun morning project. The CES administrator brought up fake grass and all we had to do was measure and cut. Fake grass does have a nap to it so lucky I knew how to figure that out. We measured a perfect circle. Pretty impressive!  It just makes everything look and feel cooler in the midst of summer.

 This is Elder's project. With limited space we didn't have any place for the 18-3 year olds. So we found a corner outside that would work. We bought carpet, took the two blue dividers from primary which they didn't need, added a few chairs and the moms love it. They man it. I got my American friend in the other branch to donate some toys.

This is the wall being primed because of moisture problems. I will have to send an updated picture of the landscaping.

With all things here we say, "IT is a work in progress."
