Our compound is a rectangle surrounded by a wall about 7'or 8' high, topped with razor wire. This little guard building is just inside our main gate. We'll give you a picture of that later on. The little building and the gate are manned 24 hours a day. I'm sure the guard would be long gone if someone with weapons tried to get into the yard.
This view of the 2 story section of the buildings in the compound is taken from President Dyreng's porch looking toward our apartment. We are on the lower left, past the gray garage door. Wadsworths live upstairs from us and the rest of the other half is where Gordy lives. He has a dispute with the church over commission that he says he did not receive. Gordy negotiated the sale of this property and the price. The other real estate agent may have kept Gordy's fee. The amount, with interest, today is about $90,000 US Dollars. His only way to collect, is to stay in possession of his residence. The government will not allow someone with an unresolved claim to be evicted. So, here we sit. Actually, we and the Wadsworths have a cordial relationship with Gordy. He is the one who showed Elder Wadsworth and me where the real water problem was on Saturday the 22nd of March and helped us put the Duct Tape joint in place.
This view looks North from the main gate, toward President Dyreng's residence and the Elders Apartment to the left of President Dyreng.
This is our own personal gate. We have a small patio area and then a nice big sliding glass door into our apartment. I'm hoping to get some potted plants. I have seen several types of blooming plants, including hibiscus. The nurseries are along the side of the roads. I have seen several, and one of these days I will have my chauffeur pull over so I can buy some pots and plants.
