This man brought this owl to us thinking we might want to buy it for our dinner! It was an amazingly beautiful owl. Elder Moon felt bad all day that we didn't buy it and set it free. We did help free a chicken that was tangled up in some string. It could only take about one inch steps because it was so caught up in this eighteen inch string. We felt so bad for it so we tried to catch it but were having a hard time. Finally, one of the people from the Monastery where we were staying caught it for us and held the chicken while Elder Moon tried to cut it loose. The lady let us free the legs from each other but wouldn't let us cut the last little piece of string from the one leg. When she let it go, the chicken took only baby steps for a minute and then seemed to realize it was no longer bound. It was really fun to watch it take some giant steps and then start to run around. Afterwards we learned that someone had probably intentionally bound the chicken with the long string to make it easier to catch when they were ready to have it for dinner. At least they were nice about it when we were freeing it and thinking we were doing this nice thing!
We often see people playing checkers with homemade boards and bottle caps as playing pieces. These men saw our cameras and wanted their picture taken. People are very creative in making things from what is laying around.
Elder Barlow is explaining details of the water project to Elder Moon, Elder Parmley ande others.
This cute little boy hiked all the way down and back up with us at the water project. He loved the baseball cap that Elder Moon was wearing and kept asking for it. It was one that the Tifie group had given Elder Moon. Just as were ready to drive off, Elder Moon gave the hat to him and he just beamed. Wish I had had my camera ready!
