 Today we will be picked up around 1 pm by the Fowers who are a missionary couple living in East London and  headed to Port Elizabeth where all of the regular missionaries and senior couple missionaries are going to see a production of the BYU Young Ambassadors.   President Wood doesn’t like missionaries driving the highways after dark if possible. The drivers here sometimes get a little aggressive after dark it seems so  we will be spending the night with the VanSickles, a senior couple serving in Port Elizabeth. 

Elder Fowers is the 1^st Councilor in the mission presidency and takes care of the East Cape area for President Wood.  President Woods 2^nd Councilor lives in Namibia. The Cape Town South Africa mission is the 2^nd largest mission in area in the world.  It covers a lot of territory.  

While we were on our way with the Fowers, we stopped at a Farm Stall, which has a restaurant, a gift shop and they sell local foods and breads.  Here Elder Fowers introduced us to a wonderful roll type bread that they "bake" on a grill.  They cut it open lengthwise and just put butter and jam on it then put it back together like a sandwich.  WOW is it yummy!  They also had some unique lighting fixtures made of canning jars.  Very cool.
