MIGORI WITH JULIUS

January 23, 2013

We heard that Julius and his family were in need of blankets

and had some other concerns so we went to his village near

Migori to deliver the blankets (as a help to Charities)
and see to the other needs.

We met him in God-Jope in a shop where Sis Florence 

a member of the Church worked. 

We had not known her and we so glad to meet

her and her child. Her husband is also a member but was not there

at the time we were.

We drove on to Juluis' home.

This is the inside of one room of his home.

His home with the kitchen next to it.

The front view of his two room home.

Julius and Callonic with two of their sons

as they received the blankets we brought for them.

Callonic with their son Lynn who was not well the day we were here.

Julius showing us the Triple Combination he found 

several years ago in a luggage compartment in a bus.

He read it and then looked for the Church that used this book.

He later joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints.

Julius and Callonic with some of  their children

and some nearby family members and friends.

Some of the road we passed over to reach Julius' home.

The road was very rough and rocky in some places.

The picture doesn't do the rough places justice!!

It is very narrow in some places.

More rocky places.

While traveling on the tarmac road we passed this truck

and workers loading sugar cane from the fields.

There is a ramp ladder on the side for them to climb to 

hand off the arm loads to someone on the truck to stack.

We saw three cows in the back of a pick-up.

As we followed the truck the cow on the right was moving

around and the hing led got out of the truck

and then was taken back in. momentarily.

It would have been a rough ride for the front passengers.

There was a man on the top of this truck trying to better secure the

load on the top. This was a place where we were traveling

about 80 kmp!

These tuk tuks are for about three passengers but this one was

overloaded and someone needed to stand on the edge and

hand on tight!!

Good day of service and we always see interesting sites.

Serve a mission and meet wonderful people as you serve.
