For the Birds….

I love to feed the birds in our area. Here are some of them but except for the common English sparrow I do not know their names. I have a book on birds of South Africa but of course left it at home. But I think you can enjoy the pictures without worrying about what they are called – as Sam our driver in Indonesia would say when I asked him the name of birds there – they are birds!

District Meeting – Miscellaneous Pictures – August 15-16

District Meetings are always enjoyable to go to and share some time and learning with the elders.

Elder Otieno has my respect because he always starts the meeting on time no matter how many are there. In this case the elders Flynn and Menendez, the Zone Leaders were just a couple of minutes late. Since they had to drive about 140K to get to the meeting that is not bad.15Aug14 - Larsen leading 215Aug14 - Parting 3

Elder Larsen was asked to lead the music and he did a very credible job. Later in the meeting he and elder Graham, his companion, gave an excellent lesson on having the right member present at teaching opportunities. After the meeting there is the parting ritual. Elder Perez is shaking hands with elder Menendez. They went to school together in Southern Utah. The always smiling elder Otieno is seen in the background.

There are some amazing gates and fences in the townships. Some day I am just going to go around and take pictures of them and doors on homes. When I got to looking at this one I decided it is really a sculpture of an angry owl…do you see it. From angry owl to love birds sitting on our back fence. I thought they made a great picture.
