03 September 2009 – Thursday

I slept well but when I woke up I found that Mary had not and so she had got up and starting packing for our trip to Durban. My morning was filled with packing, getting a load of laundry started, ironing some shirts, and posting to our blog. It is good to be up to date in the blog – at least with the text. When journal writing becomes a chore it is hard to do. I just got back from a quick trip to the mall where I got some cash from the ATM and bought a paper for Mary.

The B’s picked us up and we headed off to Durban. We stopped at Ballito – a very nice town on the coast – and had a nice relaxed lunch and looked around a couple of shopping centers. They have lots of stores and getting many more. This is a very well to do place to live and visit.

As usual we stopped in at the mission office where I bought PMG for Esikhawini YM and we had a good time visiting with the Sessions, Manns, and of course the elders. I got a great shot of Elder Lemmon hiding under the desk to avoid doing something.

We then went to Little Haven where we settled in to our familiar room garden room and basically lounged around the rest of the day. Grace fixed us a nice dinner which the couples ate with her and her husband Vic. We went to bed early so we would be rested for the Zone Conference tomorrow.
