Missionary Temporal Service

Saturday morning we got up at 6:00 to do a service project for Sister Christiann.  She needed a lot cleared of weeds and garbage for an addition to the old family home.  Most of the work was done with machetties.  I used it for about 15 minutes and had enough.  The lot was about 75’x75’ and it took us 2 hours to get it cleared off.

A bridge we drive across on our way to BonaBeri the other branch we serve with.

Brother Gaeton is working the machettie.  I am hauling weeds.

The neighbor children came out to watch us work.

After our work, Sister Christiann took us to her house and fed us rice and stir fry after we washed our hands with alcohol and hand sanitizer.
