THE WEAVER AND MISSIONARY WORK PART 2

Our paperwork and files have expanded and it is time (actually past time) to get an office set up in our home. In keeping with our African style decor we decided to go with wicker furniture. The weaver just works right on a street corner. To pick out the fabric the weaver jumped into the truck and we all drove to the fabric market. I loved all the beautiful African fabrics—amazing, and I will definitely visit that market again. We ordered a two-seat couch, two chairs, and a small table. He had the order ready in about four days! TIA (this is Africa) when we went for pick-up there was our furniture being displayed on the main highway to Uganda and it was raining!! We love the furniture and ordered another larger table. We gave a copy of the Book of Mormon to the weaver.

When we walked over to the weavers shop some mechanics asked us to buy them a soda at the very tiny restaurant next door. We all laughed, we finished our business with the weaver, and left but Elder Babcock felt we should go back and get the mechanics a soda. We drove back to the restaurant, bought the soda, and the owner invited us to sit down. As we talked with the owner he introduced us to the cook, customers, and a co-owner. He asked about our little black tags, and about our church, and said come back; we want you to teach us about your church. We will invite people to come. We are working with the missionaries to get a date set for teaching!
