A FEW MORE TALES FROM THE BUSH!

This picture is all of the couple missionaries in the South Africa, Johannesburg Mission.  Many good people to be associated with.   We are gathered together for a couples retreat in Johannesburg.  We've been looking forward to these few days for several months now.  This is our 3rd mission and our 1st Couples Retreat.!  It was so fun to get together with the other couples.  those of you from Bend will see Pres. and Sis. Chastain in the picutre.  They have been in the mission for only 2 weeks now.  Our mission president and his wife are on the far right in the front.  Wonderful people from Salt lake.
We ate many good meals, went to an animal reserve, did a temple session, then had an afternoon to just go where we wanted to go.  We went to the Organic Market where we use to like to hang out 10 years ago.   Friday we jumped (actually we slowly got into the car) we don't do much jumping anymore, and drove home.  We are about 5 hours from Johannesburg.   One evening we gathered at the mission home for a meal and some entertainment.  Have you ever heard of "spoonerism's"?  I hadn't but Elder Wolf from Preston Idaho got up and recited "Rindacella"   I laughed so hard my stomach hurt.  I think everyone else felt like I did.  It was a good way to end our days together.

Getting ready for Sacrament meeting in Kayne.   We had 6 people baptised in Kanye on Sunday.  The font is outside, the tempature was 33 degrees F.  the night before the baptism, the water in the font was 36 degree's when they were baptized.
I keep a little notebook with me all the time to write down Africa English.  they have a way of saying things that are very discriptive...Last Sunday one of my favorites was  Elder Mnada....the lesson was on pray, "Satan doesn't eat food like us.  When we don't feel like praying and don't pray we are feeding Satan,,When we pray we make Satan hungry and weak...may we all make Satan hungry and weak as we say our prayers everyday."

Time to be on our way for another evening of visiting, teaching etc....Whatever comes along
You never know!
