The Rest of the Luputa Trip





O.K. so I don't have this blogging thing down very good. And the last six weeks our internet has been broken but they finally came and really fixed it this time so we will try again. The man holding the stick in the trench is showing how they measure to make sure the trench for the water pipes is deep and wide enough. Most of the trench has been hand dug by the villagers. This is all apart of the huge water project the church is doing in Luputa. The first phase is almost finished. It will bless the lives of thousands of villagers from the water source along a twenty mile pipeline to Luputa. Water will be distributed all along the way. It will be such a blessing to have clean water and to have it come right to their village.
The group of beautiful African women are teachers at a monastery we stopped to visit.
Elder and Sister Moon with Sister Parmley in the vehicle we traveled in. Bouncing around in the back of this truck on the roads to Luputa was a real adventure. Alot of people would pay good money for a four wheeling trip like that! Just harder to do in missionary clothes!! You should have seen Elder Moon's white shirts. They were covered in red dust!

Wow...what a blessing the pipeline will be for those villages. We here in the USA take foregranted that we have clean, running water at our fingertips.

Hey Elder and Sister Moon, We are so glad to see the update and that you and the Lord's work continues in the Congo. Just wanted to let you know we have two more grandsons and all is well. Love you! Steve and Barbara Hurst

We're glad to see your back on the blog. We've missed you and your news.

The people of the Congo should be so proud to have you there.

Keep up the good work...
