The baptismal font is heavy metal painted blue. It needed to go into the back of the building, but there was no room to go through the little metal gates on our property. Fortunately, there was a gate from the neighbor's property through to our back. Unfortunately, it's a REALLY heavy font. So this is how it was moved:
Oops, no, not there. How about here? Or over there? We finally got it on a mostly level spot, near water, with the drain pointing down hill. The rest of the furnishings were equally time consuming, just less heavy. Here is the truck that brought 25o chairs, podium, desks, black boards, etc.
Alas, all the chairs were dusty and needed to be washed.
Then carried up two flights of steps.
It took until 6pm to get it all done. The missionaries and some members pitched in. In the middle of it, some members came for piano lessons. And some of them I just said, "Here are the pages. Practice this."

Practice this."Friday we left early for Busia for a Church Educations System training for seminary (students 14-18) and Institute (all young adults 18-30) This year's curriculum is Book of Mormon. We had excellent teaching and made me want to hurry home and get started teaching. I believe we will start teaching Institute and Seminary teachers will soon be called. Our drive home was uneventful... the best kind of driving here.

ReplyDeleteHow do you get your posts to go from oldest to newest? Do you post in the reverse order of how you want it read?
I did my first slideshow today with Smilebox. It wasn't as hard as I feared.
I love hearing what you're doing!
Sounds very busy! Glad to hear you got a font, chairs, podium, etc. etc. That should make the work easier/happier! :) Adam and I have a special request for you.... Could you possibly procure an African Nativity set for us? We would be happy to pay for it (and shipping) and will trust your judgement as far as style goes. We would prefer not to spend more than $50. Is that doable? We love you!
