A new concept in the Africa Southeast Area is something called a Speed Space - literally portables. This branch is using space on a school ground. The main building is one big room, mainly used for Sacrament meeting and Relief Society. Primary uses the school classrooms for their classes.
But it is a bit of a walk.
We had Elder and Sister Blake show us the way to their branch. It took us almost 45 minutes to get there. But it is surrounded by some beautiful country.
Inside the Speed Space for Sunday School. The beauty of this kind of church facility is that it can grow with the branch. As more and more people join, they are able to expand the building to keep up with the growth.
On a nice day they hold Priesthood meeting out under the tree.
President and Sister Dunn came to deliver a mission call. Sister Zulu has been dreaming of serving in England. When she opened her call, she was overjoyed to learn that she had been called to serve in England. This will be such a wonderful experience for her.
Half a block from the Orange Farm branch building is the Branch President's home. He has installed the baptismal font in his front yard as you can see. That Sunday there was a baptism scheduled. All the neighbors can watch and participate if they want to.
