Apsara Dancers







This young girl is a member of the church and a group of Senior Couples went to see her perform.
We had gone to the traditional dancing before but didn't take a camera. It is very beautiful and interesting.

Ox cart and pots for sale


I have been trying to get a picture of this ox cart pulling this wagon full of pottery through the streets ever since we got here. Everytime we have seen it, we haven't had our camera with us. The cart goes throughout the town selling pottery wares from it. Very typical of what it must have been like 75 years ago.

The Dental Clinic

These are some pictures from the five day dental clinic with 11 dentists. Most everyone was pleasant but a few felt their problems were more important than others. It was a challenge to accommodate everyone. The clinic saw over 600 patents and Elder Morgan pulled 60 teeth in one day including other services. It was a challenge but also rewarding. The services were all free.





Recent Rain Storm




This is our road in front of our apartment after one of our all day storms. It really turns into a river.

Mail to missionaries in "The Pouch"

Just wanted to let everyone know that mail to missionaries in "The Pouch" through Salt Lake is now to be a 11 x 8 1/2 inch page of paper, written on one side, folded to resemble a legal size envelope. The letter needs to be taped on the top and the addresses on the paper as you would address any envelope.
I was talking to some sister missionaries yesterday and they said that the pouch requirements had been abused, violating the contract the church had with other governments and that the missionary work had been stopped as a result.
If you need to send anything to us other than a letter as described above, the other address we sent to you gets here pretty well. It is also address to the mission office but goes by regular mail.
The end date for sending cards etc. through the pouch ended October 31st so all November, December birthday cards were sent early. Don't open until you birthday, ; )
Reminder of addresses:

Salt Lake City, UT 84130 0150
