BUSIA IN FEBRUARY

February 23, 2013

Our February trip to Busia was on February 23.

The Elders had arrived in Kisumu on Friday the 22nd

so we took them with us to Busia the next day. 

It was good having company on the travels.

Elder Bhala is from Uganda and has been in Busia for 

two transfers. His new companion is 

Elder Simango from Uganda, also. 

We were going for a teacher training for the 

Seminary and Institute teachers and a 

leadership training for the Branch leaders. 

The Elders

had planned a baptism also for the same time.

When the font was filled they had the baptism

and those who were there attended the baptism

then we had the training meeting.

Elder Simango, John, Elder Bhala

John was baptized by Elder Bhala and was

confirmed the next day by President Imende.

 These sisters came for the teacher and leadership training.

Sister Violet is a Seminary teacher and this is her first year teaching.

She is also a counselor in the Primary.

Sister Robai is also a Seminary teacher and she has taught

for several years. She is also the YW President

Sister Marcelina is the Relief Society President.

These women are great and I just love each of them.

 Traveling we saw this matatu loaded with one of their

passengers furniture. Hope it doesn't rain !!

Just outside of Kisumu there is road construction project for 

the road to be widened. This was the scene the day we passed.
