Can’t believe it is August already.   It is winter here….no snow, of course, however, it can snow in South Africa and we heard reports of it just a couple of weeks ago somewhere between here and Johannesburg.  But it has been cold today. .. rainy and windy.  We have been wearing our raincoats today and sitting close to the heater….it will be interesting to see what summer in December is really like. 

I made a carrot cake to take to the editor of the local newspaper, because he likes carrot cake and he did write a nice article on us when we first arrived here.  We hope to get coverage of our Helping Hands service project on August 18.  I am willing to bribe.

We had seminary again….every Wednesday.  The only people there were the host family.  I think it was a good evening, however, as the family really participated in the lesson…the father is not active, but sat right down with the scriptures.  He told President we were always welcome there.  We then went over to the Tunyes’ to see how they were doing.  They seem to like us to come and Brother Tunye always asks ME to leave with prayer.
