Camel Ride. The first picture is as we were getting up. we thought we were going to fall off the front. I was squealing in fright and laughing at the same time.The 'saddle' is just a bunch of padding over an iron apparatus that you hold onto. The next picture is us being jerked forwards then back with the undulating movement of the camel as he walked. Something about his having two knees in back make it anything but smooth. I do not know how the people in the olden times ever rode these things. The last picture is after we finally got up and before we started. As with a lot of things here I want to experience them then that is enough. We asked the camel driver to take us back before we even went the whole half hour we paid 150 bob (about $2.00) for it was so uncomfortable.
This is Mike's birthday he just turned 13 and received the Aaronic priesthood. We gave him a white shirt and tie so he can pass the sacrament. He is so little he spent a year extra in primary because nobody bothered to look up his records until Elder Dalley began to get them updated.
(anyone know how they got the glimmer effect to just be on Mike?)
Sister Dalley received some lilies from our investigator Laura. She works for a flower farm as a procurement agent and we were asked to visit her by her mother who lives in Nairobi. Her Father is bishop of the Upper Hills ward which meets in the mission office complex and all the rest of the family are members. She is a lovely, gracious woman of about 35. Think of a young Sally Fields only black and that is how she looks. We have been visiting her since March and have grown to love her so much. When she got a dozen lilies from another branch of the company she gave them to Sister Dalley. They really smell delicious.
