 Ahhh…today is the day we are going to East London to spend a couple of days with Elder and Sister Fowers before they leave South Africa and go home.  We will miss them.  We are taking dinner for tonight and decided to make great chicken, but cook cubed chicken breast, then make the sauce for the dish and put the chicken in and then put it over cooked rice.  It is an easier, quicker version and still really good.  Alas, the original is the best, but this works great just the same.  Elder and Sister Stokoe  also came for dinner. They are a new missionaries serving a PEF mission out of Port Elizabeth but have been loaned to the Cape Town Mission to serve in Grahamstown  until a new mission couple can be assigned to serve there.   Everyone loved the dinner dish and wanted  the recipe.  I love it when the dinner choice works!!

Our journey to East London was very uneventful, except for one cow that really didn’t care that the roadway was for cars and not for a cow.  We were able to divert around it, but it was close!! That is South Africa for you…next time it could very well be a goat.

We also did a flat inspection at the Elders boarding this morning.  They have a few things to work on…I think they hate seeing us coming for this event…I know I would!!
