7/15 Lukulu

 This morning we visited a family where the father passed away a few months ago.  Also, the one daughter has severe arthritis and can barely walk.  The family has been struggling financially.  One of our past missionaries, Steve and LuAnne Renee, wanted to help a family and this is the one that benefited. We presented them with this monetary gift which will allow them to buy crutches for the daughter, catch up on their bills, and give them a nice start going forward.  Here we are pictured with that family.  


We then visited the leprosarium where there are two people that Love For Lukulu provides for 100% of their needs.  Agnes, who is 69, has leprosy and is a joy to be with.  She loves to dance with us when we visit as you can see in the picture below.


There is also an elderly man living here who has epilepsy.  We next visited an elderly woman whose house was previously built by Love For Lukulu.  Here she is pictured with her new blanket and warm hat.  She was thrilled.


In the afternoon we were entertained with a program of singing and dancing by the youths.  After the program we taught the children how to play musical chairs.  They had a ball.  

We are going to roast a pig tomorrow for a bonfire tomorrow night.  Since they have never done this before, they had to make a pit structure which included a steel bed frame to set the pig on over the charcoal.
