10 February 2010 – Wednesday

After breakfasting with the couples, we packed our bags and said goodbye to the Wilsons and Knudsens. The Coxes were picked up by the Markums and headed off to learn what they would be doing for the next 18 months. We will see them again next week and then for couples conference in early March.

We drove home to Richards Bay. I am glad that I was trying hard to stay within the speed limit because there were at least three places where the police were taking pictures.

When we got home Mary was very tired so we did not do much the rest of the day.

11 February 2010 – Thursday

Mary had half of her stitches taken out and the rest get removed on Tuesday. In the afternoon we went to Port Durnford to hold Seminary and Youth.

After Youth, Mary had a first piano lesson with Lugani – he is taking some music course in school and wants to learn. It would be a real blessing to the branch if he could play some of the hymns.  It was good to get back into the work but I was worried that Mary did too much.On the way home we stopped at Bongamusa’s home to say hello to him and his mother. He told me that he is really enjoying school this year. He is one of the most positive young men that I have met in South Africa. Hopefully some day he will want to join the church.
