A lot of crippled and old people get around in these conveyances. They are driven with a hand pedal. You can see the pedal on this one pretty well.

More pics taken at the market place.

Notice the shaved head on this little garbage collector. Most little children have shaved heads be they boys or girls. There's a bad louse problem here. We are always seeing people searching through each other's hhair looking for lice. They don't even act embarrassed. It's so common place that every one has lice.

I was worried about a little girl in our branch because her cousin told me she has TB and that's why she doesn't go to school. I called the Mission President to see what he had to say about TB in the branch and he said it's so common and so many people have it (or think they have it) that it's not something to worry about. I mainly was worried that people would boycott the church or be mean to the little girl if they found out. He said nobody will even give it a second thought. We thought it was so strange because in the states all the teachers are tested for TB every year but not for AIDS. Go figure.

Fred had a lot of fun taking pictures of signs one day. We could spend our whole mission taking shots of signs. They're everywhere and most are creatively funny.

This girl's name is Sweety. She's a new convert to the Church and a really nice girl. She came over to our house for lunch one day because we wanted San San to meet her and possibly get her introduced to San San's nephew Arune. I don't think they are going to match up but we have made a good new friend anyway.

This was on a T shirt. These are my sentiments exactly.

More spice market pictures.

Here's a man filling up his modern day plastic pop bottle at an old fashioned water pump. I have seen large earthen ware pots full of water for people to get a drink of water from. I'll get a picture of them next time we pass by some. I don't know how or who fills them with water.

Fred gave this beggar some money. Poor sad creature.
