It was freezing cold this Sabbath morning due to low temperatures and a biting wind. I really did not expect many of the members who had to walk a good distance to come but 55 great saints braved the cold and wind to come to our meetings. This says a lot for the faith of the saints here in Ikageng and Potchefstroom.<\/p>\n

Between meetings the courtyard was busy with people trying to get a little warmth from the sun. Sister Merriam in her sharp looking check coat and sister Kea who was watching over a young sister caught some sun. The wonderful primary presidency leads all their charges to the toilet while sisters Kruger and Ncapayi share some thoughts.<\/p>\n

Speaking of brother Mokate here he is with sisters Williams and Thulo and then with Kea and a \u00c2\u00a0young lady I do not recognize. Then he is with us and finally sister Ratema.<\/p>\n
