October 19
Elder Bleak found this bird nest and one egg in the middle of the road. He moved it to the side in case the mother came back to her baby.
Elder Peterson and I went with President and Sister Shumard to a new missionary apartment out in the Cinq Ans area. This man was coming by, his bicycle loaded down.
Four new missionaries arrived today--more coming tomorrow.
October 19 - More new arrivals.
October 20 morning walk
The three missionaries who arrived yesterday, but were at the clinic when the other picture was taken.
This morning was training for all the new missionaries. We went with Elder Lephoyo to find rides for two new Elders. One Elder is traveling to Kasumbalesa and the other is traveling to Kipushi to their first area. We parked on the busy "bundle market" road. There is no shoulder on the road so we were actually parked in the lane. Vehicles were passing us. Elder Peterson was out of the truck standing at the back; I was sitting inside watching people pass by.
A taxi willing to go to Kasumbalesa was secured. The driver was going to wait until he had another passenger before leaving.

During English class this afternoon I showed "The Testaments" movie. Samuel and Daniel (Daniel studies with Sister Bleak) both accepted English Books of Mormon today. I gave Samuel a copy in French also in case he had trouble with some English words. Hopefully they both will read and learn of the truths contained in that book.
