Ken and I met with a couple of gentlemen from South Africa who are in charge of Church Distribution. They came to Tanzania to officially close the Distribution Center at one of our branch meeting houses that had not been functioning for quite some time. We will now be in charge of the Church Distribution here by ordering through South Africa and receiving goods either shipped from there or Salt Lake City. They told us to dispose of some of the out of date materials, and make the rest available to members of the district.
Sister Kenyon and I went to the meeting house in our grubbies while our companions had a meeting there with the District Presidency. Our purpose was to clean out the room that housed the old distribution center.
In one of the cupboards, we found a bag full of old donated prescription glasses. When I say old, I mean old and very out of style. Some were like coke bottle glasses, others dark, and most were very large and with somewhat stylish frames.













The elders do a lot of their teaching at the church and there were a couple of sets of elders who peeked in to see what was going on. We asked Elder Hansen if perhaps one of the pair of glasses would help him with the eye problems that he was having. Well, you can imagine what happened after that. Everyone had to try on glasses.











































Then one of the Elders was told that he looked like Erkel------laughter------then they pulled up their pants toward their armpits, creating floods------more laughter-----then came the cameras. We were all laughing our heads off.













Then one of the Elders said that he really liked his pair and asked if he could have them. Well, it was a fun-filled evening. There were enough cameras for a celebrity news conference. Hope you enjoy the shots from the "photo op".
