Hello everyone,As you at home are welcoming Spring, we are going into the Fall season here. The weather is still delightful with temperatures in the seventies during the day and slightly cooler in the mornings. Beautiful flowers and shurbs are everywhere. When we travel in the countryside, there is always another colorful plant or bush in bloom. The first picture is of bougainvillea, the third of hibiscus, which grow in many colors. The second photo is a tree I don't know the name of, but I liked the bright orange blossoms.
The fourth picture was taken at keyboarding lessons with two of my students. Imagine my surprise when Elder Zulu (from Zimbabwe) came for his lesson on P-day (preparation day) in his casual clothes with a Utah State football T-shirt! A former missionary gave him the USU shirt.
I included the "trespassing" sign to show the Afrikans language in the middle and some other African language on the bottom. Our son Charles and my brother-in-law Dave Kent both learned Afrikans when they were missionaries in South Africa some years ago. Today the missionaries teach in English only.
The next two pictures are of houses in the township. We don't take many photos of the homes out of respect for the people. There is a wide variety of living accommodations - all of them are very modest. Most have electricity, but hardly any have indoor plumbing.
The last two photos are of the young children in a creche, or pre-school. Children can attend when they reach the age of two. When we stopped to take a picture, the crowd of children at the fence grew rapidly. As you can see, they are beautiful and happy children.
We are busy and happy and enjoy good health. We are grateful to hear from you. Our email address if you have time is katherinesgodfrey@gmail.com
