  Day 685
Saturday
Count Down => 1

We got up and headed for Table Mountain to catch up with the Fullmer's. The traffic was terrible and the mountain had an overcast so after standing in line for tickets for a while we decided to try again next Monday or Tuesday when Kerry comes in. We went to the bread store and got the buns for tomorrows BBQ at the Mbaki's house after church. We then headed to Capri to pick up some more plaques we had Hillary Forsyth make for us to give to the senior couples we meet on our journey across the East Cape. We had a nice toasted cheese sandwich on home made bread with chutney sauce. When in Africa.
We stopped at Rhodes Memorial on the way back to the office. There were two wedding parties taking pictures there. We got to the office and wrapped up a couple of items and did laundry. The Assistants came in to get some work done. We left and dropped some shopping items off that we picked up on the way back from Capri. We then headed for the airport around 9:00 pm and picked up Kerry. We stopped on the way back to the BnB at the office to get some mole skin for the blisters on the bottom of his feet that he developed when he walked a considerable distance around Amsterdam.
It's great to finally have him with us. Woo Hoo! Let the party begin. And he brought Halloween candy with him. It was so good to have a Butterfinger 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...
