Cape Town Mission Field

    Day 276
Tuesday


Today was a typical busy Tuesday...Post Office first thing. Then on to Makro. But first we got a call from Elder Hamilton that he locked his keys in the trunk. So we had to stop by the office first and pick up the spare set to let him into his trunk. We met Sister Hamilton walking along the rode in front of the Mission Office. She has been walking to work on good days. So we drove back to the office to open up the door for her while we went to deliver the car keys to Elder Hamilton. 
In the afternoon Elder Courtright picked some more Mulberry's, which seem to keep producing now that the weather has been warming up and the rain has helped all the plant life. He then went into the kitchen and made his first Mulberry pie. We sat down just before leaving the office for the day with the Hamilton's and enjoyed a slice. It turned out great!

    The pie looks fabulous. I am having to learn how to cook at a higher altitude and more humidity. Getting things to gel and bake are not that easy here. I commend you on your pie.

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...
