Cape Town Mission Field 

    11 November 2018
    Day 337
Sunday


This morning we left early for the Meadowridge chapel and had a wonderful Stake Conference there. We managed to get seated on the front row. Which was fortunate. Because as Elder Anderson came into the room and was about to take his seat on the stand he asked to greet a few people. So he came down and shook peoples hands on the first two rows. He then saw Elder Smith and took a picture of him and his companion, Elder Mabanga. He stated later that he had to send that picture back to his home ward to assure Elder Smith's mother that his son is doing well.
We had some wonderful messages from the Stake President (President Holmes) about being worthy of the temple, living our lives as the Lord would have us obey the commandments, and sharing the gospel in a normal and natural way. Elder Anderson gave a powerful testimony of Christ and having an eternal perspective. We all will live forever! We all need to just believe in Him! It was a wonderful meeting. We talked to Brother and Sister Kintu afterwards and they had just had the funeral for her father on Friday and the words spoken by the apostle were very personal and provided great hope and peace.

We also pulled up a couple of videos that Sister Courtright took last week of the fires along the road when driving back from Port Elizabeth.

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...
