Visitors From Around The World

Sunday, July 5, 2009


This is Francois Lunda's family. He is the head of the Church Distribution Center here in Kinshasa. He is a counselor in the Ngaliema Stake. They invited us to dinner one night before Livingstone's left for home. They have ten children and a couple of brothers that live with them. We had a wonderful Congolese meal. They are a very gracious family. His wife Jeannette is on the right holding their baby. Lunda helps me alot with orders which can be very challenging.

In our garden on the porch we have a big round tub that collects water from the air conditioner that drips from the apartment above us. We often have lots of birds that stop for a drink or bath. These little guys hung around for quite awhile one day. They usually get chased off by some very large birds that look similar to our magpies back home.
In the circle of the street just outside our apartment building is a popular workout area. Who needs a gym when you have a delapidated monument to work out on! Every morning around 6:oo am you can see a large group of guys doing very interesting workouts!







This is Tyler and Becca Nicholes with their son Spencer. They have been such great friends! Becca and Spencer leave this week to return home for a vacation before they move on to their next assignment. Tyler will join them in a few weeks. We will miss them immensely! We have enjoyed some fun evenings with them. They have also been very generous in loaning us many of their movies and puzzles. What a great family!
