Hopefully before our mission ends we will have a chance to see the big animals up close and personal. What we did get to see on Tuesday was a couple of mother crowned lapwings with their single remaining chick. The lapwing usually lays 3 or 4 eggs but many of the chicks are killed by predators. I missed the picture of one of the mothers spreading her wings and covering her chick. It reminded me of the scriptures where so often the Lord says that He would cover us like a mother hen her chickens.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pierfamily.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/15sept14-Elder-Perez-leading-the-music.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7729\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pierfamily.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/15sept14-Elder-Perez-leading-the-music-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"15sept14 - Elder Perez leading the music\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.pierfamily.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/15sept14-Elder-Perez-leading-the-music-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.pierfamily.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/15sept14-Elder-Perez-leading-the-music-624x468.jpg 624w, http:\/\/www.pierfamily.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/15sept14-Elder-Perez-leading-the-music.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pierfamily.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/15sept14-Elder-Lohmann.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7730\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pierfamily.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/15sept14-Elder-Lohmann-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"15sept14 - Elder Lohmann\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.pierfamily.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/15sept14-Elder-Lohmann-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.pierfamily.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/15sept14-Elder-Lohmann-624x468.jpg 624w, http:\/\/www.pierfamily.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/15sept14-Elder-Lohmann.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pierfamily.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_5916.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7735\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pierfamily.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_5916-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5916\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.pierfamily.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_5916-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.pierfamily.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_5916-624x468.jpg 624w, http:\/\/www.pierfamily.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_5916.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pierfamily.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/10646951_840378359338503_1992789853889686900_n.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7736\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pierfamily.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/10646951_840378359338503_1992789853889686900_n-168x300.jpg\" alt=\"10646951_840378359338503_1992789853889686900_n\" width=\"168\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.pierfamily.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/10646951_840378359338503_1992789853889686900_n-168x300.jpg 168w, http:\/\/www.pierfamily.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/10646951_840378359338503_1992789853889686900_n.jpg 486w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 168px) 100vw, 168px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mary at her computer where she seem to find lots of music to use in Primary and for her piano students.
