Cape Town Mission Field       18 August 2018     Day 252 Saturday Today we stopped at the Somerset West boarding to review their Spring cleaning. Sister Courtright asked them to dig deeper. She found several areas where they needed to improve even though it is looking a lot better than it was the last time we visited. We then went to the Hermanus boarding to inspect their flat. It looked very good. Elder Courtright installed two white boards on the concrete wall for them in their living room. We then went down to the harbor and ate some lunch on the rocks at Sievers Point and viewed the whales in the harbor with our binoculars we bought for the trip to the Nature Reserve a couple weekends back. There were whales everywhere. We saw a pod that had a jumper. He (or she) would jump 3 -5 times then repeat about 30 minutes later. We also saw several mothers with their baby whales right in front of us. They gently rolled in the water and the baby would push up...

Cape Town Mission Field   17 November 2019   Day 707 Sunday Count Up => +21 We arrived in Salt Lake around 10:00 am after a short layover in Atlanta after arriving there at 6:00 am. Jackie and Jake picked us up at the airport. We had a large load of luggage with us. We filled up most of their mini-van. We enjoyed getting back together with the grand kids. We couldn't believe how tall they are getting. We ran over to the Stake Center at 3:00 to meet with the Stake President where he formally released us from our calling as missionaries. We were finally done after two years minus 10 days. President Law asked us to report to the High Council next Sunday at 7:00 am. We then met with the Bishop at 5:30 where he finished asking us the final questions for him to be able to submit our new mission application to the Stake President. We also took the time to have our temple recommend interviews with him and our tithing settlement at the same time. We finished playing wi...

Cape Town Mission Field   16 November 2019   Day 706 Saturday Count Up => +20 This morning we got up and went to the temple. We were surprised to see Sister Brown from the Cape Town Stake sitting in one of the sessions. We also met the Peterson's who have been on their mission now for three months. They are from South Jordan, Utah. We then went back to the patron housing to pack for our trip home. We left a lot of items that we couldn't take, did not want to take, or did not need. We left all of these items with a family that was also staying at the patron housing. We stopped at a mall near the airport to pick up a small bag to remove some of the weight from two bags that were about 20 pounds overweight. We then dropped the luggage off with Sister Courtright and Kerry while Elder Courtright returned the car to the Avis rent a car place. We had our luggage wrapped for the trip home. We then settled in for a long 16 hour flight to Atlanta.
