FLOUR MILL AND MICRO FINANCE

Tow truck picking up illegally parked car blocking traffic. I don't know how they decide who is or is not parked illegally. Cars park anywhere they please, it appears to me.

Elder Moon ordering flour from the Lebanese manager at the entrance to the warehouse where the flour is milled.

Iphone photo, we were in a rainstorm and I bobbled the phone. This is a very narrow spiral staircase leading to one of the micro-finance offices. Sue was very silent and cautious because open rail and stairs giver her vertigo. We descended by a different non-spiral staircase.

Entrance to the micro-finance offices. The acronym is expanded below it. Savings and Credit Union of the Wise Women of  Kinshasa.

This is a large institutional bank that has a micro-credit department. It was very crowded inside. We gave the armed guards our ID in exchange for a visitor tag to enter. We met with the manager in charge of Micro-Credit. At each of the three stops we took a moment to explain the humanitarian projects of the Church in the area and that we will be building a temple here. We left a copy of the Liahona Temple issue so they could read about our temples around the world. We left a B of M also at two of the places and a brochure on the family.

Semi-truck being loaded with 100 lb flour sacks for delivery at the mill where we purchased ours.
