Setting the table.

A game the elders play. If you get caught by the "sign" you must do a push-up. Blocking is done by a single or double eye sign. Too complicated to explain here.

Fish in preparation with garlic and herb stuffing.

Deep fry the fish.

Foo Foo, corn meal rolled into balls.

Oseille in preparation. It is Sorrel, cooked with onion, tomato, and oil and blended. It is eaten with the foo foo to give it some flavor.

New Elder Van Ausdel flew in from Yaounde, after the MTC in Ghana.

Cooks at work.

Elder Mukadi and Elder Brockbank.
