Here are a few pictures shared by the Osbornes of the areas they visit each day, with Lane's camera being stolen this is the best thing we have.

Elder and sister Osborne sent us this clip of a baptismal number you will recognize the tune and maybe the language. We think elder Steel is far left in the video but really not sure! enjoy!!
The good Elder finished his house and was promptly transfered. but, as luck would have it, he is a zone leader over the area that he just came from so he is still in touch with those areas! He had a companion that he came into the mission with but has since had another transfer and got a new companion. here is a photo of the latest companion and lane in their area. We only wish he still had a camera to photo journal his days and weeks! What experiences he is gaining!
well as all knows, one of the many times elder steel has been robbed, they finally got his camera! bummer for all of us and him, so we never got to see the house finished! but, here it is thanks to the goodness of elder and sister Osborn who will send us photos once in a while! That house looks good huh? keep it up elder!!!

So the young Elder Steel is been working extra hard on the house. His deadline is april so he is feeling the crunch! but as you can see he is making great progress. He said goodbye to another companion in his words he killed another one! Hang in there Elder your day will come!

Our adventuresome elder writes: so we come home one night and we walk down the hall to go change and the zone leader elder barlow he almost stepped on a snake so he ran back and started yelling cobra cobra cobra!!!!! so i ran to the other room and grabbed my camera but the problem was that he was right infront or my door to my room where my machette is so i didnt have that to kill him with so i grabbed a broom so we filmed it and I stopped him with the broom and elder barlow tryed to crush his head in but he missed and now the snake was dang mad so he stricked and the force of the strike got him out from under the broom then he started to come after me at full speed so I started to scream like a little girl and just beat the broom against the ground hopping that i would hit him jumping up and down so that if he did try to strike he might miss! well in my fit of joy I got the snake pined under the broom and this time it was with all of my force so i yelled at the top of my lungs at elder barlow who was like.... 2 feet away from me in a pirate caption voice to kill the lad now mate!!! im not sure why i just got feeling like jack sparrow at the time so after he poounded his head in with a tree branch i picked him up and took pictures! but he was still having reflexes when he was dead so i was still really scared to pick him up! but i did so me and my comp took pictures with our kill of the day!
I finally got to see one of my investigators baptized today, that is a big payday!
He also writes that last week was carnival and everyone was in the streets dressed in anything, everything, and nothing! Glad he didn't send those photos! He sent a picture of a shower where he is at! He says "the people are so poor here that when it rains they run outside and shower in the run off from the roof!". Those are fun pictures! Also he wanted us to see his food mainstay Rice and something on top! YIKES anybody ever think Elder Steel would have eaten that prior to mission life! I wonder if he will still hate hot dogs?!! Also he said this lady with the braided hair had the coolest mowhawk he had ever seen! And how about that house He says I don't know how much longer I will be here but I hope I can stay long enough to see this house built. I have built, and laid every block in that thing and I would like to see it finished!
He is almost half done now! and NO the time has not gone by fast!

More good news from Elder Steel.....I'm still alive!! thats good to hear. Dad worries alot about that, since the good Elder states"everything that can kill you lives in Mozambique" I keep hoping they will transfer him to the city where there might not be so many poisonous snakes!! A few recent pictures for all to enjoy.
