We have been asked by the District President to mentor a member in his business. He is a very good man, who originally fled from South Sudan. He was a member there and his wife investigated the church here and was baptized last year. He started a repair and refrigeration small business with some assistance from the church, but yet lacks some small business skills. The other person in the picture is Kevin Livingstone, the other service volunteer here. He has been Brother Daud's mentor, but will be going home in a couple of months, so we are in the process of transitioning.
The next picture is the streets we walked to get to his business with Kathleen and Sister Livingstone in the picture. Again, the Livingstones have been wonderful to us since we have been here and will miss them when they leave. Their replacement couple should be here in January. The walk to Brother Daud's office and home was like going through a maze. I certainly could not find it again by myself.
School was getting out when we started walking home and this was the crowded street on our path back to our apartment. Then something unusual happened on our walk home. It started to rain. It was enough to wet the ground, but as can be seen in the next photo, there is little drainage and the water accumulates in low spots that had to be traversed.
Then at 4 we went by ourselves on an Uber ride to pick up our passports at the visa office. The Livingstones have gone with us there the last 3 times. We made it, correctly determined the floor and window, and picked up our passports that now have the ability to exit and return without canceling our visas, which extend to April 2026.
