on the upper type corner we are just starting to dig a new well they are about 6 feet deep lower right they have been digging for two days and they are 25 feet deep after I took this picture the contractor called me when I got home and said they just hit water so now they will line the well with concrete rings to the bottom and then go down another 10 feet and drop five more rings this way when we do these wells in the dry season you know you are getting down to the real water table so many of the wells in Liberia are put in during the rainy season so in, November December there are dry so we will not allow them to dig our wells until we are in the dry season
We have got our new latrine painted and ready to go as soon as we get the well completed we will open it

Our area seventy from Accra was here Prest. Curtis and our mission president Roggia wanted to see our new latrine that we had just completed standing next to them is our contractor and his secretary
this is all the Hooper herein Liberia the Haws were here to do some training so I took them over to see elder Widson
Pres. Harmon is showing me how they extract laytex from the rubber trees this plantation is about 4000 acres

one days work


Sharon's first day driving in Liberia.  We were out looking for new sites to put Wells.  She said she was not going to drive in Liberia.  That didn't last for a long the only way to describe driving in Liberia is controlled chaos

On the bottom I am inspecting a latrine site to make sure the cement on the floor of the latrine is the right depth you need to check on these contractors all the time.  If you look behind us.  There is a small latrine for the market about 300 people use that is not a pretty sight
