Friday


Wow...it's March already. Time is flying by.
We went to the Ellsie's River boarding and replaced some curtains, repaired some cupboard latches, and replaced their mini-oven that has a bad hot plate. We also gave them several things to clean, especially some wall washing to do. There are a few more items we need to discuss with the landlord that we'd like replaced; like the vinyl flooring in the kitchen and bathroom.
Sister Courtright picked up some Domino's pizza for us to have for lunch but they were pretty small so we only had one slice a piece and left the remainder for the elders.
We then headed for home and picked up the bike that was being repaired by Neil at this bike shop just up from our boarding. He also had another bike that he lowered the price on for us. So we took both bikes to the Milnerton chapel where they were having the district meetings. This gave  us a chance to give the Milnerton elders their bikes and to drop off a garbage can and mop for the Tableview elders and we also picked up mail this morning so we were able to pass out a lot of mail to those elders there. 
We then went over to Maestro's on the Beach and had lasagna and a seafood platter for lunch.
We headed back to the office and finished up more paperwork and finally quit around 10:00 PM.
When we had our slushies that night Elder Courtright discovered another stalagmite in the ice cube tray. This time he noticed a slight triangular shaped appearance when viewed from above.

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...
