Some days I get so involved with what is going on that I do not take any pictures the only one I took today was the Enseleni elders with Khulekani and Bongani outside the library.
18 March 2010 – Thursday
It was a great day for Richards Bay. Today we were able to help 3 young men – Khulekani, Solo and Musa – be interviewed by President Mann so they can send in their mission papers. What a great blessing this will be for their families, their branches and the district. President Mann also interviewed 6 men to receive the Melchezidek Priesthood and to be ordained elders. We are winning.
Besides this Mary got her incision re-packed and later gave Sazi a piano lesson while we were at Esikhawini to help organize the interviews.
Almost by accident – the men we were suppose to meet at 2:30 in Enselini were there 90 minutes early – I had a good meeting with President Vilane and three young men about the less active members of the branch and what they could do to help get them active. I mentioned that since two of them were about to receive the MP that they and Khulekani was about to go on a mission that they really needed to step up and help the president re-activate the many youth that were not coming to church. We especially talked about the need for regular activities for the YM and YW so that they can participate and be fellowshipped.
While we were in Esikhawini I also had a chance to talk to president Machaka and it looks like the wedding is going forward on the 27th as planned. We will need to go ring shopping with them sometime during the week. Actually it will have to be either Thursday or Friday as we will be in Durban Monday to Wednesday.
By the time we were pulling into the driveway the last bit of light was disappearing in the West. It really was a great day.
