Elder Folkenberg, Katrina Lubinski, Wes Olfert and Marvin Hunt
| Elder Folkenberg is conducting these meetings in a large outdoor stadium. Opening night saw attendance of over 3000 with crowds continuing to grow to a nightly average of from 5,000 to 7,000 with weekends exceeding 12,000, as can be seen below. Standing beside Elder Folkenberg is Katrina Lubinski, from Illinois. She is a student at Weimar College and a gifted singer. To Folkenberg's right is Wes Olfert who has provided invaluable technical support with all of the electronic gear necessary for a large stadium presentation. The team from Rwanda includes the Rwandan Union Publishing Director, and Associate Treasurer, the Women's Ministry Director, and pastors and laymen. |

Behind the stadium a neighbor boy sells boiled eggs. Note there are 30 eggs in the carton. Eggs are not sold by the dozen, instead they are sold 30 at a time. Out of town, beside the highway, local people wrap 30 eggs in banana leaves and display them in rows along the road. The packages are about the size of a bowling ball with a handle on top.
At the bus stop outside the stadium a smiling 14 year old girl sells cigarettes and candy
