The banners go up!!


Friday afternoon, madly getting the banners finished. We are in the kitchen in the Upper Hill ward house where the Center is. They need to be finished by Sat. at noon. The guys ended up working on them until after 8:00 p.m.
Betterman, dad, and the 1st counselor in the Upper Hill ward, whose name I can't remember!

Here we are at Upper Hill Saturday around noon time, loading up the banners for their trip to the Stake House in "Bura Bura" (...don't you love that name!...) Dad, Betterman, and a returned missionary who served in Nairobi who thought all of the meetings were at Upper Hill. We took him to Bura Bura with us.
Arriving at Bura Bura. This was the Saturday afternoon adult session of Conference. The meetings were from 1:00 until 5:30, because as you know...we need to all be home before it gets dark.
Dad greeting Consolata in parking lot. She cleans our flat on Mondays. She also cooks very delicious african food. She is the one who just went to So. Africa with her three children, they were all sealed to her husband who died a few years ago. I have no idea how long it took her to save money to get to the temple.
Dad and Betterman putting up banners. The wind was blowing like crazy, so out came the duct tape!!

Dad and I standing by our newly standing banners!!...Ha...I guess you could tell!!.....
Yeah!! All the banners are up, and the wind did not get the best of us!! It was a little tricky with the "Foyer" being outside, but it all worked out. People commented on them, and even with many of the members not being able to read english, they stood around and did look at them. The swahili banners are coming in about two weeks.
