 Day 342
Friday 


Today we stopped at the Post Office and picked up a lot of mail and several packages for the elders. It seems the holiday mail is starting to pick up.
Elder Courtright was working on some laundry in the shed since our washing machine is out again and won't be fixed until next Thursday. The same company showed up at noon to pick up the washing machine that we brought back from Paarl to take it into their shop for a tear down and repair of the door latch that is broken.
This afternoon we will be picking up the Meadowridge car from the service center and taking it to their boarding. They've been using public transport these past couple of days while their car is being serviced.
The Gugulethu elders car is in for brakes today and we will need to get them to their car pickup today also.
Just received AIG approval to take the assistants car into Mullany's to have the rear bumper repaired from where Elder Lateghan was pinned against another car. I will start referring to him as Superman.
Sister Courtright received a package today that contained the new "Come Follow Me" Sunday School, Primary, and Home lesson manuals for next year to match the new changes to our meeting schedule with only a 2 hour block. They've got some beautiful pictures in them from artists whose works I've never seen published in church material before.
The new Assistant (Elder Collett) arrived today to work with Elder Reedy before he leaves off his mission next week. He'll be joining his family in Kazakhstan.


Elders Collett, Niutupuivaha, Reedy

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...
