  Day 546
Saturday

We headed for the Meadowridge elders around 8:00 am this morning but had to turn back as Elder Courtright wasn't feeling well. But that passed so we made to the Meadowridge boarding and replaced some kitchen cabinet knobs and added a latch to the balcony door to keep it open. The bathroom needs some tile work and we'll have to engage the rental agency to have them look at it.
We went to Fish Hoek and found it in very good condition. Sister Courtright hemmed some curtains and Elder Courtright fixed a door lock on the main floor bathroom. We then went to the Massi Elders and found it to be very dirty. The bathroom and kitchen have been poorly taken care of. Elder Courtright fixed a shower door leak with some silicon and then reset the towel rack while Sister Courtright showed the elders what the expectations were for cleaning the flat. We found Elder Keith rather aloof and the new Elder Tindinisi seemed to be paying close attention to Sister Courtright. Later we found out that the two elders are not getting along very well together. We'll make plans to come back next week and revisit them again.
We stopped by the office to see how the cleaning crew did this morning by cleaning the carpets and windows. It looked very nice. We then went home to clean up then headed to Milnerton at 4:00 pm to witness the baptism of the Sithole Family and afterwards a celebration of their marriage that took place last weekend. It was a wonderful experience.
We took the Tableview elders home and did a boarding inspection there. Elder Courtright replaced a cabinet hinge and some rollers on the sliding glass door. Sister Courtright did some sewing on the elders curtains then did some work on Elder Farer's pants that needed taken in.
We finally arrived home around 10:00 pm. Another fruitful day.

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...
