| In Uganda the women always bow on their knees when they meet men. I told Siprion that in our country the Men bow to the Women so he took Harriets hand and bowed to her. It made her really uncomfortable, but I thought that just shows what a good man he is. They are a very sweet couple, new converts to the church. Siprion rides his bike 18 miles each way to church every Sunday. Sister Harriet put on her best dress for this picture. |

| Our trip to Kampala always includes a stop off in the office to check up on the AP's. All three of these guys have been the Zone Leaders in Jinja at one time or another and they are great missionaries. It's useless to try and hang on to them in our areas, they keep getting moved around, mission rules I guess. We really miss them in Jinja. |

| The Palaasi family the day they left to go to the temple in JoBerg. They were happy to be able to be sealed together and with the help of their oldest son, they were able to do baptisms for many of their ancestors.

Sister Palaasi is also a school teacher at a prestigious boys college. She teaches comparative religion. He teaches Science. |
 |
| YOUNG SINGLE ADULT ACTIVITY - We had a talent show and each branch did something great. This was a skit of being in a restaurant. It was probably funny, but I missed most of it because they often revert to their own language which goes over my head. They had such a fun time doing it. |
