These are some of the last pictures we have of Elder Wengert who ended his mission here – the elders say that he died in Richards Bay but sister Mann does not care for that term. Maybe we should just say he passed here? He said that the first thing he was going to do when he got home was to eat some of his grandmothers real Mexican food. However until then he seemed to enjoy our taco nights.

Mary waiting to go in to have her first operation – she did manage to smile. A couple of weeks later she could get up and walk around so we went and visited the ICU ward where she spent over a week recovering.  This is just one of the many nice nurses that she got to know during her long stay. She really hopes she has said goodbye to all of them for the last time.

When we finally got her out the first time, she went right back to work. First there was Zone Conference in Durban where we got to greet the arrival of our friends the Coxes who are now serving as the CES couple for the mission. Mary and Bob Cox pretty much grew up together in the Lennox Ward. The elder in the picture is Elder Weaver who is from Texas and who we really grew to love because he is really crazy…especially when you mention anything about Texas. Elder Mann had to show off his new hat from Lesotho.

Mama Zulu in Enseleni had to have her picture taken with one of her big pumpkins. I think it weighed more than she does. Mary with the two sisters we took to Durban to get their recommends signed. They are from Engwelezane and have been members just over a year. The last picture is our good friend Sister Mickelsen helping a student apply for a PEF loan. The Mickelsens get up to see us about once a month and we really enjoy their company.
