    Day 455
Saturday


Wow, the Lord really blessed us this day. Everything again came together as we moved the elders from their old boarding to the boarding where the Bullman's were staying. We made a couple of trips and got their belongings along with a few furniture items to their new boarding. We then went back to the second hand shop and picked up an end table, sofa chair, and carpet. We then returned the truck rental right at noon as scheduled. We left the elders to unpack and setup while we made another run to the Game store to pick up a couple of last minute items. We brought those items back to the elders and told them that they could wrap things up and take our car to do their grocery shopping and pick us up later to inspect their boarding and take them out to dinner should everything look good. Everything looked good, including their new curtains that they put up. So we took them to Rock-o-Mama's for burgers and shakes. Since Elder Orro's birthday was two weeks ago we had them sing for him. We met the Bullman's in the lounge at the B&B and had hot chocolate and biscuits (cookies) and sat around and shared family experiences and stories. It turns out they have an unmarried daughter living in Murrieta, California whose turning 39 in September. If we would've known this earlier we could've arranged for a meeting with our son, Kerry, when he went to visit our daughter, Stephanie, for Christmas in Lake Elsinore; which is only a short drive away from Murrieta. Who knows, maybe they can still get together if he visits Stephanie again.

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...
