Cape Town Mission Field

Day 78
Sunday


We were taking it pretty easy this morning and went to Sacrament meeting with the Elsie's River branch at the Mowbray chapel at 11:00 AM. We met the Stake President of the North Zone Bellville Stake, President Kruger. He indicated that it won't be too long before the Elsie River Branch has it's own meeting house in their area instead of coming into the Mowbray chapel.

We had lunch at the flat then went to the office to do some minor work. Sister Courtright received a phone call from the Hermanus Elders asking for some help regarding a baptism record that hadn't been recorded yet and this person was wanting to attend the temple this Wednesday to do baptismal work for the dead. It turns out that while we were inspecting the Mandalay Elders flat this past Thursday they gave Sister Courtright an old baptism record they found in the upstair flat that is no longer occupied by elders. Guess what? Yes, the record is the one that the Elders from Hermanus need to be entered into the church's records and it was dated last October. Another little miracle.
We spent several hours at the office catching up on work before returning to the flat and resting for the evening.
Elder Courtright did notice that the workers must have finished plumbing the large tanks while we were at the conference on Friday. The front is being repaired and prepped for new paint, door, and awning also.
And we caught site of a nice sunset behind Devil's Peak as we were leaving for the evening.

Cape Town Mission Field   28 October 2019   Day 687 Monday Count Up => +1 We have now started our personal tour of South Africa, this is Day 1. We headed for the Cape of Good Hope today knowing it was going to be raining off and on. This is a trip that you spend a lot of time in the car and we were hoping for sunny breaks when we got out to see things. We asked Martha to come along and she was excited to do so. We first stopped at Simon's Town to see the penguins. We were practically the first on the beach. We met Sean Robertson from Idaho but grew up in Salt Lake around 45th South and Redwood Road. He has traveled the world (52 countries) working mostly on ships as a repair diver and inspector. We left just as it started to rain. We then went down to the Cape of Good Hope and the sun was out so we hiked up to the lighthouse and had some great weather. We also drove down to the beach and took some photos there too. We then went to Scarborough for lunch then u...

Cape Town Mission Field       25 September 2018     Day 290 Tuesday Today was a quiet day around the office and we did make a Makro run for missionary supplies. Most of the day was spent catching up on emails and orders and baptisms and car issues. The Mandalay elders took their car in for service and we picked it up for them in the afternoon. There are some pretty white flowers blooming in the corner of the lot that I took a picture of.

Cape Town Mission Field       10 September 2018     Day 275 Monday This was a 'real' Monday. We got a call from the Fish Hoek elders informing us that they lost their phone. The Gugulethu elders hit a pot hole last night and got a flat and drove on it to the chapel because they were driving on their spare, due to a flat tire from Saturday. The zone leaders couldn't help them because their spare was flat. The Elsie River elders lent them their spare but driving home to their flat the car was driving funny. And this all took place before 8:00 am. Later this morning the Knysna elders phoned and indicated that they were driving to George and got a flat but their wrench doesn't fit the lug nuts. I had them call AIG tow truck to assist. The Zone Leaders (Elder Stevens) was particularly helpful in taking responsibility for picking up all the bad spare tires and taking them in to the shop for replacement or repair. That was really kind of him to do that, particul...
