Rural sights

Every Sunday we drive an hour to our meetings. There's always lots to see along the way. One thing I love here is the colorful buildings and homes. Lots of the house colors are very vibrant and happy. They have character!  Clothes hanging I the lines, or bushes, or even layed out in the dirt to dry depending on what their resources are. There are always people sitting out front visiting, working or cooking and children playing. It's really a fun drive. Many are dressed in their native dress to go to their church meetings. We see lots of Muslims in their traditional clothing on their way to worship on Sunday's. Sister Cosgrave told me that fabric and clothing are important here.  It's a sign of prosperity. One of the greatest gifts you could give the king or chief is a bolt of cloth. Here are a few pictures of homes I see along the way that I think are picturesque. 




We see lots of people along the roadside as well. Thier transportation varies. 



It's never a boring ride to church for sure!
