 Today is Easter; however, we are not expecting many people at church.  We understand a lot of members have left town to visit family.  As was the expectation, only 24 people were in attendance.  That includes Rick and I and the missionaries.  I taught in primary as neither of the presidencies were there and the Sunday school (adult) classes were combined as was Relief Society and Priesthood.  Since it is also transfer week in the mission we found out Elder Davuke was flying to Cape Town tonight for training to be a trainer of a new missionary.  Elder vanZyl will stay with missionaries in East London until he gets his new assignment.  We assume Elder Davuke will remain in Port Alfred.  Time will tell.   As always, we will miss the missionary who is leaving.  They become part of our family and it is hard to let them go.  But, the work must move on and we all participate.
