Some people we have met


 Moses works at the mission office. We see him every morning and have come to really love him. He is a very humble man and likes to give Elder Raymond a bad time. He also raises a beautiful vegetable garden on the property and shares all his produce with all of us. We will really miss him.





 These are the three pro golfers, Cece, Lolly & Reeve. We took a few lessons from them. Elder Raymond liked it alot but I can see now why I don't golf!



 This is Pres. Dube who was our mission president when we arrived and his wife, Nuame. He is now been called to be an area Seventy and also works with us in Seminary & Institute.
CES (Church Education System) was his work before he was a mission president.



 Jerry is one of the security guards at the Grandi Lodges apartment complex where we have lived during our mission. He also likes to give Elder Raymond a bad time -- especially about being a "Kombie" driver.


 These are four of our most regular students when we first started teaching in Harare. (Left to right) Anyway Kambeva, Bongani Moyo (who also works in the mission office), Petros Masaire, and Tongai Mutopo (one of Elder Raymonds close friends).



 Ali is one of the security guards at the gate to the mission office. She was very shy when we met her and it was hard for her to understand us but over time, she has become friendly and loves to tease.




 Samantha works in the mission office and is a very loving person. She didn't quite know how to take Elder Raymond at first but loves to come right back at some of his teasing comments now. We will also miss her much!



 Bro. Never Jack is one of our very dear friends! He really bonded with Elder Raymond right from the start and they have spent many hours together getting "windshield time". We would love to bring him to the US to visit. We will miss him so much when we leave.



 Rabecca is our secretary in the office. Tommy is her first child and about the only one who came to me right off. We have loved Rabecca and will miss her also...



 Beauty cleans our apartment for us and the other couple missionaries who come to Grandi Lodges. We showed her on our first blog post carrying the water on her head. She is funny and has a strong testimony of the gospel.



 Freeborn is one of the members of our Domboshawa branch. He lives alone on the foothills of Domboshawa and raises a garden...He was baptised right after we came.



Bro. Francis Jack lives in Bindura and is the supervisor for Seminaries & Institute in that area. He is also in the branch presidency there. An awesome person and loves the gospel.



Simon is the man we see at the "robot" (traffic light) each morning on our way to work. We think a lot of him and hope he will continue to read the Book of Mormon and continue meeting with the missionaries..He always has a smile for us!
