    Day 469
Saturday


This morning was a day for doing more boarding inspections. We went in early to pick up some items for boarding inspections and had then headed to Meadowridge. Their are only two elders now in this boarding and it is a lot less cluttered. They are doing a nice job but Sister Courtright showed them how to defrost the freezer. We need to get their bathroom door repainted on the interior. 
We then went to Fish Hoek and looked their boarding over thoroughly. Elder Courtright fixed their kitchen cabinet door that has been off for some time. He filled the screw holes with some putty the last time we were there. We also found another leaky faucet so we decided to pick up a new tap before going home.
We went to the Capri Elders boarding and Sister Courtright showed them some tips on doing a better cleaning job in the kitchen. Elder Courtright reset the shower door so it closed better against the magnetic strip so it would leak onto the floor. He also set some filler on a loose fitting for a towel rack and asked the elders to let it dry for two days then tighten the towel bar back onto the fittings and report back to see if it held or not. Elder Courtright also installed the smoke detector above their bedroom entrance. We then met with the Forsyth's to see how they were doing. They have been busy finishing their stairwell in preparation for the son's visit in a few weeks from Canada. We left with the intention of coming back next Friday and going out to dinner with them. 
We then headed to the hardware store to pick up some items for the repairs at the Fish Hoek boarding. We also stopped for some lunch as it was now about 2:00 pm. We found a little diner in the mini-mall and had a steak sandwich and Hawaiian burger. We picked up the items we needed then headed back to the Fish Hoek elders. We fixed the leaky tap and partially secured the other tap. We will need to come back with a deep-well socket head to fit over the nut to secure it better next time we come.
We then headed back to the office catch up on some paperwork. The Firth's and Hamilton's showed up to do some more training and we all left around 9:00 pm.

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...
