FIRST TRIP TO BUSIA

We went to Busia on Saturday evening.
It took 3 and a half hours to travel about 112 kilometers.
The roads were very busy with boda bodas, piki pikis,
matatus and walkers as well as lorries and cars!!
There were a LOT of potholes and speed bumps and
and very slow rocky diversion, also.
 
We met the missionaries at the church and also
         Sister Robai. Sister Robai took us to our hotel.
We went back to the church and took the missionaries
to meet President Imende at his home.
 
Sister Imende met us there and she prepared dinner
for us as we visited with their sons.
When the food was ready we were served and soon
President came home from his work. 
 
Elder         , Elder Huskinson, Sister Imende, Frederik,
President Imende and Elder Moon.
Behind Elder Huskinson you can barely see Thomas.
 
I forgot to take a picture of the food until we were nearly finished.
We had rice, a chicken broth with chicken pieced, potatoes and
tomatoes, and chipati (similar to tortillas).
This is our hotel room. It was comfortable and had a fan
mounted on the wall that was so appreciated!!

 
Sunday at the church: Elder    , Elder Huskinson
and Sister and Elder Moon

With Sister Robai. She teaches seminary, her husband is
in the branch presidency and she was so good to
make hotel reservations for us and show us the way to it.
One of the church building is in the background.
This is used for Primary and other classed.
The offices are here for the President and the clerk.
Two members of the branch.
This is the gate into the building compound.
There is a guard here 24/7! The man is leaning up
to the guards room.
The building in the background is where the other
meetings are held. It is upstairs and faces the street. 
 
Following here are random pictures taken on our way home.
Some of them were taken through the windshield
if the truck so they may not be very clear.
I hope you can get a feel for the country and towns
we traveled through and the
beautiful countryside!!
