Passing Out Tracks and Candy

On Saturday morning, we drove around in the country and passed out tracks and candy to a bunch of kids (and adults, too.) It was a neat experience!


This is government owned land, but squatters have built little shacks and are living there. If they stay long enough, they have certain squatter's righs, and sometimes can even claim the land for their own!




this is the entrance to a farm


some men reading the tracks we gave them

giving candy to some little girls
(and no, he's not about to punch her! Lol!)






the starting of an irrigation ditch
(the water comes down out of the mountain)

I think these people had just finished washing their clothes.




the water is about four feet deep








These boys were wrestling, but quickly stopped when they saw that we had candy! :-)



look at those smiles!!!

the Horton's son passing out tracks






This is a coconut tree, but it's actually a different variety than what we get our coconut from. The Hortons say it doesn't taste good!


This children's home (orphange) is run by the missionary at the church where the Hortons are helping out.




The kids sang a couple of songs for us. I took a couple of video clips, so hopefully I'll be posting them on here sometime soon!

it is so pretty here!


this is a common problem...cows in the road!

(they also do this with 18 wheelers on the highway!)




a gas station!


the town of La Jamani
(about 20,000 people here and in the surrounding area...and no Baptist churches!)
