Cape Town Mission Field 

7 March 2018
Day 88
Wednesday


Today we had our office meeting which focused on how we are going to manage support for the missionaries in the more distant areas of the East Cape with two Senior Missionary couples leaving us in the next few weeks. These are the Watson's in Port Elizabeth and the Peterson's in Port Alfred.
It will be a logistical challenge that we have to come up with some creative ways to manage.
Elder Courtright ran out and got lunch for everyone. We had Indian food from the Mumbai Restaurant. We had Chicken Hakka, Chicken Tika, Lamb Schwarma, and Garlic Naan. Mmmmm!
Elder Courtright is busy with lease renewals and car issues.
This evening there was a beautiful sunset over Lion's head. See for yourself.

    Nice, have you seen the Southern Cross stars in the night sky yet? They are spectacular.

      Not sure what those are. I'll have to look them up then look for them. Right up the street is the Astronomical Observatory, so I'll have to take some time to visit them. Thanks.

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...
