POINTE NOIRE LIFE 3

Menuisier where we bought wood for the bed frame to hang the mosquito net. We also were able to get a small amount of glue to replace a drawer face that detached.

Electrician building an automatic relay to turn on and off the generator when city power fails. The box was built by a carpenter so they didn't have to buy a steel one. I asked how he had learned to do this and he replied he had taken courses and studied it out. He must know his trade because it looks very orderly and well made.

Why not?

"Store" run by the wife of a member that we visited. Often we see these little business ventures in front of people's yards.

Visiting a member at home.

The member's father and mother. He is retired military.

The member is in the US learning English. His wife and daughter are here. The Wheatleys came to take pictures to send to the member/father. The wife is not a member because of what she has seen on the web and friends have told her. The missionaries are working on that.

Wife and baby, and her parents.

The top of the home in the distance is where a wealthy Church member lives. He owns many pharmacies.
