Local people

the local indigenous women are always dressed in these beautifully made dresses in many colors. This woman was just walking by our car as we were waiting to pick up the Sister missionaries.

The Marcusi family is an incredible example of faith. This entire family lives up in the mountain where we visted (see the previous blog to see where they live). They walk about an hour as a family to get to church. Notice that they are clean and happy, even though it seems the mother (next to me) is the most serious. Dad makes about 0 dollars a month, and has to pay 10 dollars a month to live on the property. But they are preparing to go to the temple, and are some of the best you can find in the church

Lynda hated me for this one. She was dead asleep after coming home from church. We had picked up some members early in the morning, then took a couple of trips to take members home. We just can't let some of these poor people walk home for an hour or two after church with small children. We then both worked on cooking dinner, and while we were waiting for some members to join us for dinner, we had some time to relax. A sunday nap is always good. Even if Lynda didn't like seeing this when she woke up.
