Four young elders - left to right - Elder Zulu from Zimbabwe , Elder Botes from S. Africa, Elder Morrill from Oregon, and Elder Booth from England (Elder Booth is tallest in the whole mission at 6' 7")
This photo was taken on the Sunday when our Mission President and his wife, the Probsts, visited Port Alfred. They are on the left. Others are our branch members, except for the teenagers on the right front who were visitors.
Bottom photo shows the two of us on the porch of the rented home that serves as our chapel. As you can see we have pulled the white board out on the porch for Sacrament Meeting. We move it back in for Sunday School. The home has three rooms - one used for the chapel, one for the Primary, and one for Relief Society meetings. The kitchen serves as Elder Godfrey's office. A Muslim family rents the other half of the home. We have been in this building for about six months now and have hopes of getting an official sign with the name of the church posted outside the building next week.
We are looking forward to the baptism of a young husband and wife from Zimbabwe on June 6. The branch is growing slowly and the members are anxious to keep it going because otherwise they have to travel 35 miles to Grahamstown to attend church services.

It seems odd to be going into winter season here while those of you at home are finally enjoying warm weather. The day time temperatures are still in the seventies, but it seems strange to have it very dark in the evenings by 5:45 pm in May!
We miss family, home and friends but know we are needed here. Working with the members, investigators and the young elders is very rewarding.
We send our love and appreciation to you.
