Everyday stuff

 We saw this truck load of bikes on the way to Accra last week.   I feel good when I get three bikes in my truck.   All of the trucks here are always way overloaded.   They put about three times as much on them as they were designed to haul.   Needless to say they do a lot of road side repair work.   This truck is a very tiny vehicle and we see a lot of them on the roads here.  I think that there must be over 50 bikes on this toy truck.      A bike fixers dream.
 One day this well wasn't there and then when we walked by the next day it was there.   Just like the well fairy had left it there under someones pillow.  It was all hand dug and had a cement lining.   It was about 30 feet deep and when we came back the next day it had a cement pad around it, a cement top with a lid and it was all painted green.   The dirt was even hauled away.   I was impressed.   No backhoes or cement mixers or power tools of any kind.  
Two missionaries in one pair of shorts.   They belonged to a very large missionary from Tonga so these two guys put them on and came over to borrow five eggs.   It really looked funny when they were walking away..   When you use clothes like this it cuts way down on the laundry.
 Just another pretty bush that we saw so I took a picture of it.   Plants here are different and very beautiful.
Sister Nielson and Elder Jensen teaching primary on Sunday.  Thank heaven for the missionaries because sister Nielson was getting very tired from teaching for over one and one half hours when they came in and helped.   I was the photographer so I was no help.   I just stood in the corner and gave the kids something tall, white and weird to look at.
