 Today we met with the Grahamstown elders for district meeting.  

 It was great to see Elder Moangare again and since he is the district leader in Grahamstown, he gave the lesson.  He did a great job even though he said he was very nervous.  Elder Scicluna would be very proud of him.  Elder Moangare said he learned a lot from Elder Scicluna and respects him a great deal.  They were a great companionship.  The next time the two districts meet together, it will be here in Port Alfred and our Elder Alexander , who is our district leader, will be giving the lesson.  We had a great lunch together and it was nice to spend some time with Elder and Sister Nye who serve there.  They will be going home in December as their mission is almost over.   

When we were finished there, we headed home, but not before we stopped at a spring just outside Grahamstown to get water.  It is really good and free water.  Wish we had one of those here in Port Alfred. 

We have seen a number of these donkey pulled cart in our travels but have never taken a picture of them. They are used for everything from a taxi to transporting supplies to gathering wood. They use these sticks to build their shacks. They kind of weave them together like rebar in concrete and then pack mud over them.
