On Sunday we drove the 140 kilometers (2 1/2 hours) with our driver Codefroid to Mwene-Ditu. We drive in Mbuji-Mayi (on the main roads), but for longer trips we prefer to have a driver.

| On our way! Small shop and brother and sister on their way! |
 |
| Carefree children along the road side. They are also up early. |
 |
| A stop at a small village. What's for sale? Probably breakfast. |
 |
| Corn growing season has started. Every family has some planted. |
 |
| A large bag of cassava leaves ready to be picked up and brought to market. |
 |
| An at home palm oil processing enterprise. Busy lady. |
 |
| Mom bringing home the fire wood on her head. |
 |
| A little more market action. |
 |
| Arrived at Mweni Ditu. Kids are always there to greet you. |
 |
| Riding piggy back, like every lucky Congolese baby. |
 |
| Mother and daughter. Mother is waiting to have her hair done under a big church tree. |
 |
| We all need a rest after church. Who is that lady anyway? |
 |
| Hair dresser in action. Fingers flying. |
 |
| Gorgeous with hair all done. |
 |
| Closer look at the hair detail. |
 |
| Mostly a happy family. I took out my recorder and played "I Am a Child of God" for them. |
 |
| The Branch Presidency; the tall and the short of it. |
 |
| Mother waiting for baptism. |
 |
| Happy Day. The Elders wanted a last picture with the new converts. They will be transferred. |
