We Do Plumbing
This is the much simplified drain that works. All drains in these homes that are not from toilets just empty into the yard or the street. No sewage system. It took us 3 weeks to find the simple parts that would let this drain work. Oh for a home depot or even duct tape. We are also into fixing toilets, and showers, and water supply pumps.
We Do Nursing
We Make Friends

Here are some of Sister Sherwood's friends in front of the Elders apartment. They come running even though she doesn't have sweets any more.
They like pass-along cards and they like being snapped(have their picture taken).
We Do Training and Transporting
We sometimes are called upon to transport some of them from Bo to Freetown. These young missionaries are marvelous. They are dedicated, hardworking, and diligent in doing the work of the Lord in their mission.
We Hate To See Them Go Home
We will miss him and the others who went home and those who are soon to follow. We started with experienced missionaries from other West African Missions and they are now coming to the end of their missions. They are the ones who re-opened the mission after ebola was over. They have done well.
We Laugh A Lot With Our Missionaries
We Love It Here
We also teach temple preparation classes, literacy classes, and train the local members so they can teach these classes. Sister Sherwood teaches music conducting courses and keyboard lessons. That is right, she is now playing the keyboard!!! Learning the keyboard so she can stay ahead of her students. One of her students is also the choir director in her branch. In our keyboard lesson two weeks ago she expressed a desire to teach the choir a hymn they have never sung. Sister Sherwood taught her how to play each part separately so that each voice could hear their part and practice it. We were thrilled this week to hear the choir practicing. They were learning all four parts for Branch Conference. We have never heard people singing other than the melody in Africa.We do miss you all and love you. God bless you all.
