02 February 2010 – Tuesday

In the morning I met with President Vezi to help him with his business plan.  He has some good ideas and if he can keep to his plan he should be able to have a good income for his family. The great news is that he has obtained the contract to build a home and if he can work out financing with the bank, he stands to make a nice profit. My goal is to see that he keeps to his plan and realizes that much of the money that comes in should be put in the bank to finance the next house. I gave him a copy of ‘Where there are no jobs’ and told him that he needed to follow the rules if he wanted to have a successful business.

I also got the HT and VT messages for February off the church website and made copies for Esikhawini. I will also make them for the other branches if they want them.

The afternoon just kind of went by without me accomplishing much. I really miss having my Eternal companion with me. She pointed out the other day that while she had been in the hospital or away for a week or more in the past, I always had one of the kids around the house. I seem to have no desire to eat well – Cindy told me in a chat that I needed to take better care of myself – or do much. I certainly will be much happier when she is finally let out of the hospital.

I got a call from Mary saying she was moved out of ICU to the Surgery ward. That was great news and maybe that means she can come home tomorrow. When I visited her she was again sitting in one of the chairs and looked really good.

She did have two complaints – the food for the day was not very good and she kept falling asleep all day. I think her being up and around just has caused her fatigue so her body wants to rest. There is not much that can be done about the food. I have been taking her bottles of Crystal Light which she really enjoys – especially if I bring it frozen.

During the evening visit she talked to Sister Mann and got the good news that there were two new couples coming to the Durban mission in April. One is the friends of the Hafens and we do not know anything about the other but they are proselyting missionaries and that is what we need.  I imagine President Mann will send one to Richards Bay but nothing is certain.
