Animals in Africa

H
Hello from Africa,

People wonder about all the wild animals that we must be seeing in Africa. Well, I see several cats on my way to the mission. They are "watch cats" or at least they are friends of the guard in office building near our house. Of course, there is the yippee dog that stays in the backyard next door (he gets up to early and stays up to late.)

However, we did see a few animals today. Being Preparation Day, Sister Allred and I joined most of the Elders from this Zone and went to a very impoverish zoo. Here are a few pictures of the animals and the humans having fun with these animals.

It is always a delight to spend time with the Elders -- they are very kind to us and very fun-loving.

It was a beautiful day here -- mid 70's, sunny, blue ski, and great company.

We invited Elder and Sister Abdo to our home for dinner -- they are returning to Brazil on my birthday -- July 17Th -- so it will be a bitter-sweet day -- sweet for them to go home and bitter that we are losing them.



Sweet because I made it to 65 years of age -- and bitter because two more people that I love are leaving and I will most likely not see them again. Thank goodness for email.

Hope this email finds everyone happy, healthy, and serving.

Love, Sister Wick (Mom, Grandma, Pat)
