Shopping for Beds

 This week we received two additional Elders and so we had to find and buy beds for them.  We found this store in the baixa (downtwon).  It has almost everything.

 It took a while because the store only takes cash and we didn't have enough.  Elder Snelson (Brain) went to the bank for funds.  The other gentleman in the picture is the owner.

 The owner told us that they have lived in Beira for many years.  He sent his family out of country during the war and owns a beautiful family home west of us near the coast.

 As  you can see, it has a 'muito grande' array of items.  We particularly liked this stack of pans!

I really wanted some yard to crochet, but he looked at me and said, "they don't crochet here.  You need to go to Zimbabwe where it is cold."   He did have one large skein of white crochet thread, so guess I'm into making doilies.  Sister Snelson (Kim) and I each bought a pillow for our couches.  They are not very comfortable and this will help.

Beds purchased and loaded.  Larry is talking with a blind man and his son  from the street. Life is extremely hard for handicapped people here. This is our truck.  We are hoping one of the new Elders is 'man enough' to sleep on a pink mattress!
