Cape Town Mission Field

    Day 282
Monday


Today was a busy day at the office, taking care of baptism records, leases, and answering vehicle issues. The Meadowridge Elders called and informed us that their bikes were stolen. That lasted almost a week. Later we found out that someone approached them on the street and said that for R100 that he would give back one of their bikes. So they paid the ransom and he said that tomorrow he would sell them back the other one.
We left work around 5 pm to stop by the Medicross clinic to have someone look at Sister Courtright's ear that has been itching and flaky. She has some sort of skin condition that is bothering her. We got a couple of creams to try and a referral to a skin doctor. We also got a booster shot of B vitamins again. We also found out that the pneumovax booster shot that showed up on our calendar (one year from the date we got it in the states prior to coming on mission) isn't required for up to five years. One less thing to worry about.
While at the clinic we ran into Shirley, our good neighbor here in the apartment complex. Unfortunately, she has come down with a case of the shingles. Sister Courtright could really empathize with her over that condition. We will offer some prayers on her behalf.
Our daughter Jackie sent us some pictures of the wildfire taking place in Utah County. It's looking scary.

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...
