Cape Town Mission Field

  Day 560
Saturday


We didn't have anything planned for our Saturday, which was a first in a long time. Then the Massiphumelele elders called and wanted to know if we could come down and check out the changes that was made. Elder Keith had made some changes and cleaned up quite a bit before he was transferred this week and Elder McKone has picked up where he left off. The Forsyth's were also going to install a new dish rack above the sink and put some hardwood onto  the walls for the towel racks to mount to in the bathroom.
So we spent the morning doing a deep cleaning on our boarding and Elder Courtright dyed Sister Courtright's hair for her. Then we left for Capri where the elders are living. They still needed some help and we offered a few suggestions. We even swept under their beds were a deep blanket of woolly bears were hiding. We hope this helps with Elder Tindiwenzi's allergy problems. He has a nasty wheezing cough similar to what Elder Courtright has been fighting for the past 2 weeks.
We went to the local market and picked up a pair of warm pajama's for the elder to see if that will help him sleep better at night.
We then went out to dinner with the Forsyth's to Dixie's in Glen Cairne and had some wonderful steaks. This overlooks the bay, but it was pitch black so we couldn't see anything. Just heard the waves crashing against the rocks below.

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...
