A day in the garden

 The other day we went with Elder and Sister Wall to a botanical garden in the mountains above Accra.   This tree is a strangler tree,  it starts growing around an existing tree and covers the whole tree from top to bottom.  Then it strangles the host tree and it dies and rots away
and leaves the strangler tree hallow all the way to the top.  Note the white monkey looking out from inside the tree.    

 This photo is taken from inside the tree looking up.   It was about 100 feet high.     The strangler tree was alive and well in Africa. 

 Elder Wall and Elder Nielson talking to a man about the Church.  

 Here is an ant hill.   We didn't see any of the ants, but I think they were off chasing a goat.  

 We saw this helicopter from a distance and thought we had finally found a way out of here but when we got closer  we discovered it was finished.   As the saying here goes.  

 Sister Wall and Sister Nielson get their chance to teach. 

 They were having a big festival honoring this King.   Here he is on his way to the seating area.  The other guy is keeping the sun off of him.  

After they were seated we sent over and ask if we could take their picture and they were very happy to oblige.  Note all the gold that he is wearing.   I ask him to share but he said "NO".
