WEEK -- JULY 15-21 2013 TEMPLE SITE, NTUMBA VISIT-NGABA, NEW TRUCK, ETC.

Kinshasa Temple site. Kinshasa Stake Center and Seminary and Institute buildings to the right.


Panorama of the temple site.


Frere Ntumba, his wife, one grandson, the Moons in front of his home under repair. Walls were sinking. Last time we were there they had not begun work. It should be done or at least roofed before the rainy season in September.


Ntumbas and us.


They are living in this little room in the corner of their compound.


Inside the one room temporary shelter.


Sister Ntumba.


Inside the temporary living quarters.


The Moons.


View of the rubble filled courtyard -- the trusses and gravel for concrete to the right and foreground, rubble from wall demolition in the background.


Kinshasa by night from our ninth floor roof. It was Bastille day, but we missed the fireworks that went off from time to time during the night.


The new truck, Toyota Hilux.

Ready to load up and drive away. Notice the cover over the truck bed. It will be replaced by a shell in the near future. We see these covers on vehicles used as transports, benches installed in the bed for paying passengers. Maybe we could make a few CF until they get around to installing the shell (canopie). 


Somebody recommended this restaurant so we stopped by to look at the menu. It is located at the back of ShopRite's parking lot, across from the GB Stake Center/Temple site.

Binghams used to eat at the restaurant. We never did. Did you decide to go there? How was it? Did we miss anything?
