Here we are just after arriving 3 days ago...invited to a Fourth of July picnic at the US Ambassador's residence.
The Moon's, Bill and Annette. They are our office couple and we couldn't MOVE without them! They do the work of 3 other couples... just amazing. We love them so much and are sorry they will be leaving as soon as a replacement for them is found.
The Moody's, Les and Joan, are the humanitarian couple. They have their office in our Mission Office and we see them constantly. They are not involved in our mission business, but they pursue humanitarian projects in our mission area. We socialize with the Moody's and the Moon's 2 to 3 times a week...movie night, game night, Sunday dinners and Family Home Evening.
This is the Congo River located just behind most of the embassy residences in Kinshasa. This area is deemed safe, so everyone does their walking for exercise along this route.
This is a local fruit market on the street where I get most of my produce.
This is the most we have ever seen of the sun. We came here in the dry season....absolutely no rain at all until September or October. With the burning of trash that they all do here we seem to have a combination of smog and haze. Gray skies all day and around sunset you see a bit of the sun before it sets. No shadows here ever!
