10 December 2017                                      1st Day in the Field (Sunday)

The Hansen's (from St. George, Utah) picked us up at 8 AM and we went to church at the Mitchell Plains chapel. Small group but great in spirit. Brother Frank gave a wonderful priesthood lesson on the importance of the temple. The Hansen's are leaving next Monday, this is their last week in the field after 18 months. They have already accepted a new mission assignment as a Trek couple serving on the youth treks through Wyoming next summer that get to experience some of the early pioneer challenges crossing the plains.

I seem to recall (my mind was still recovering from the 3 days of sleep deprivation) that we all went to the Hamilton's (from Twin Falls, Idaho) for a wonderful afternoon dinner. The Hamilton's have been out on their mission for four or five months now.

We all then left for the Stake Christmas concert that was on the outdoor lawn of a park at the base of Table mountain. The concert lasted for 2 hours and the music was wonderful. We met a lot of the Elders there that we will be supporting. We also met for the first time the Mission President, his wife, and four children; the Lebethoa's. They are a wonderful family. Check our their picture here.
