Transfer Week just ended

This week we invited the 4 Sister Missionaries that live in the apartment below us to come have dinner with us.  We were afraid some might be transferred and we knew one was going home so it was now or never.
 
This is Sister Francis from Tanzania and she has been out about 3 months.
 

From left to right are: Sister Lusiba from South Africa, Sister Ofwete from Kenya and Sister Nayiga who is from Uganda, was serving in Ghana, moved here with visa problems.

Sister Ofwete was called to Zimbabwe and served there until the last three months when many missionaries there had visa problems. She finished her mission here and flew to Nairobi on Friday.  She had a great personality and often would lean over the railing of the apartment balcony and call to the District Leaders..."Elders, Elders"...with African Sisters it is "Eldas, Eldas."

LtoR-- Elder Chauya from Zimbabwe, has been an AP with Elder Plant and Elder Reed. Elder Chauya's  mother died  when he was young and his father died while he was on his mission. He goes home to a brother who just out of high school.  Elder Chauya has been accepted at LDS Business College and starts in January.  He was an amazing AP and a wonderful person. If he returns to Africa he could become a great leader in the Church. 
Sister Lubisa is from Durban, South Africa. She was a dynamic leader as well. 
Elder Plant and Elder Reed are the current APs and have both been out less than a year.  Our missionaries are young.
