Botswana

The border--always an adventure.  There were at least 30 trucks lined up, but fortunately 
for us, they were going the other way.  And of course, the cow always has the right of way.
As we went through the last check point, the guard wanted to look in the trunk.  She 
said, "You're missionaries?  Where is your Bible?"  Thank goodness we had a Book of Mormon 
so we gave it to her and she was really excited to have a 'new Bible.'

Orometswae is the Director of Arts of Culture for Botswana.  He helped us get the 
Licensing for The Young Ambassadors accomplished.  He is one of many Albinos in 
Africa.  Their life is not easy and they especially have a hard time with skin cancer.

This is Leonard Thebe and his family.  He is the Country Director of Public Affairs for 
Botswana.  He also works for the American Embassy which is probably quite helpful.

"Hello Number One!"  is what this parking attendant would say to Grandpa everyday. 
I don't think he could speak anymore English than that.  It really made us laugh--inside
joke.  Remember our Sunday afternoon drive through town yelling, "We're number 
one" out the window?   What a lame family activity but it usually involved ice cream
so I guess that made it all right.




A herd of goats right through the middle of town.  Rather picturesque.



A baptism at the branch we attended.  The great thing about this baptism is 
that it was a family.  They also had a cute little girl.
