    Day 434
Saturday


We had breakfast at the Penny Farthing and met Kanisimo, a member, who was our server. She works most Sunday's so she doesn't get to church much. We met Robyn from Jawitz Properties and she showed a nice 2 bedroom that is furnished. The owners however will return this coming summer (November) so we can only have a 6 month lease. The agent suggested if we want it then she can work on a full time lease in the interim. We met the elders back downtown to pick up some pass along cards and Sister Courtright met a Zulu priest walking the streets. She gave him a Book of Mormon and he will share this with the other 4 Zulu's he's with. We then met with Brother Gobani and his lovely wife. His parents serve in the Johannesburg temple. They are moving to Port Elizabeth to Uitenhage and have their flat for lease. It seemed a bit high for what we were getting and farther out of town, but it is an option. We met a lady at Sotheby's and she had a home coming up that was at the higher end but it too was furnished and only two blocks from the chapel in the old downtown section. There are a lot of nice homes in that area. We drove over to the marina area and found a river cruise that we could take on Sunday afternoon and they had a seafood buffet in the hotel, The Halyard, at 7:00 pm. So we came back and enjoyed a wonderful meal. The raspberry mouse for desert was amazing. Another full day.

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...
