"Slyling in South Africa Christmas Day & Serving the Elders"

 We love our ward in Mitchells Plain. As you can see they are not shy when it comes to sporting the most recent styles.....Amanda check out Tinny's pumps. The young man is Nathaniel DeVries and the Ntshili family is below, L-R:  Sibabablo Gleaeson, Buhle Tinny, Sister Henderson, Tracy, Mandisa Patricia, Brdekile David & Elder Henderson

Turkey dinner at our flat and calls made at my desk at the mission office...........

Like everyone else we had sacrament meeting for only one hour in the morning. After which we came home and continued preparation on our turkey dinner. The elders had arranged to be at our flat at 1 pm. However, they were detained with the members of their ward and arrived at 3:30 pm. It was good though, we were able to catch a much needed nap. I had put the mashed potato's in the oven to keep warm. The potatoes here are a little bit different, but close to ours.  When I took them out of the oven they looked like a thick paste, the surprising thing was, they tasted really good. The elders ate and ate and ate. We had planned on using our Skype but found that it was not possible here in South Africa. Each country has a different charge. We rushed to the mission office, which is only 10 minutes away, and they were able to speak to their families......they were ecstatic.  Kami called us at 7:30 pm, so while we were talking to them, the elders did the dishes, they are so very sweet.
