The Potchefstroom branch and the elders held a very successful 3 hour missionary street display today. Our great elders – Perez and Lohmann – along with 7 members of the branch had 50 plus people sign up to receive a free Book of Mormon or a DVD. The elders and branch missionaries will now have to get busy and deliver these requests and hopefully get an appointment to teach a gospel lesson.

Elder Perez is from Southern Utah and claimed to be freezing when we met at 9:30 in the morning to start setting up the display. The rest of us thought it was rather warm for that time of the morning in what is winter here. The young man on the left of the next picture is an investigator who has a baptism date set or the 10th. What a wonderful way to share his testimony!

The man on the extreme left in this first picture is about to sign up for a free Book of Mormon. By 1:00 pm elder Perez has shed his coat but still has on his sweater. The big sign can be seen but cars coming from one direction. We may get another one for the other side.

It was time to take down the shade – the picture of Christ lets everyone know who we believe in.

We set up at one of the three robots – traffic lights – in Ikageng this allows the people who are stopped to take in our display and hopefully stop and ask for more information. However most inquires come from people walking by on their way to or from a store down the street. After the display the elders bought pizza for the volunteer crew. This is a three layer pizza – kind of like the club sandwich of pizza.
