Cape Town Mission Field

   Day 402
Tuesday


Today it was off to the Post Office. There were quite a few letters. One for Elder Kyles who left about 4 months ago. We then went to the Makro store to pick up quite a few cleaning supplies as our stock is low. We also picked up 36 six-packs of water for next weeks area tour by the general authority from Johannesburg. We stopped for lunch at Maestro's on the beach. They are now under new management. They seem to think that the menu will be changing shortly. We hope they keep the lasagne. That's why we come here. We then stopped at the Milnerton boarding to meet the owner, Sapho (Greek name) who is in town. She wasn't too happy about the cleanliness of a few areas including the bathroom. We weren't to happy about the pictures spread all around the boarding of one of the elders girlfriend. It certainly isn't what he should be focusing on.
It was back to the office to clear up some leases, prepare supplies for the zone leaders to pick up tomorrow then we headed home for the evening. Elder Courtright colored Sister Courtright's hair so she could remove those pesky little grey hairs sneaking in.

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...
