One month in Africa

Well its  hard to believe but yes  we have been out one month already.  We have already had some incredible experiences and every day is a new adventure.  We continue to havemembers from Botswana, Congo, Zimbabwe, Cape Town,  Durbin and Madagascar and Mozambique visiting the temple. Its such a privilege  to help these sweet, humble people eavh day.  We  have to be in the temple every day except Sunday and Monday. On Friday we go at 4:30 a.m. and on Saturday we go at 5:30 a.m. The temple opens about noon on Tues and Wed. And Thurs. Sundays we drive to Soweto to the ward that we are assigned
to. How incredible that has been. Today was the Primary program and it was amaxing. There were probably close  to 80 children crowded onto the stand. Each one had a speaking part and the music was beautiful. Every  child had memorized their part and it was beautiful.  We always are so grateful that we have found the chapel withouy a map or G.P.S. we definitely have been blessed.  This past week we went to the Zoo in Pretoria.  It was huge and so beautiful. The jacaranda trees are all in bloom there and they are magnificent. Of course all the animals were amazing but so were all the gardens and trees. Tomorrow on Pday we have been invited to go bird watching with President. Atkins of the Temple Presidency. I guess he and Elder Jarvis have been talking a lot about the different in the area. So this will be a great opportunity as the Atkins have travelled around the world to view birds.  I wanted to post some amazing pics from our Rhino/Lion adventure but our computer broke this week and we need to find someone to fix it for us. WE have been blessed so much and appreciate your love and prayers in our behalf.  We love serving with other temple missionaries. We have Family Home Evening each Monday with all the other temple workers and the temple presidency. It has been great.  The treats are pretty amazing too!  Well enough for today. We send our love to all of you.
