 District Meeting was held in Grahamstown today.  The District Leader there is Elder Olyabo, who gave a great lesson.  The other elders from Grahamstown are Elders Swenson, Von Brughan and Khumalo. Elder and Sister Stokoe were also there on temporary assignment until a new senior couple is assigned.

 
We like the trip to Grahamstown…that is where we also get water from the natural spring right outside of town.  The water is good and it’s free!!  We had to be back to our boarding by 3:30 where we were to meet a realtor taking pictures for the owner. We needed to be there and let them in.  I hope they don’t sell this place before we leave in October!!  Don’t want to move.  We then made several visits.  We saw Comfort Mudodo and gave him some pictures of his baptism day…boy was he excited. Things that we take for granted like pictures of important events the people here are not use to and they find great joy in having them.  We visited a while, listened to some of his problems and I think made him feel better.  I hope so.
