July 2009 - Game Drive

Okay - I accidentally deleted this photo from it's proper spot. It should be labeled - male white lion - after the napping lion. I don't think I'll ever get proficient at this blogging!
Just so you know it's not all work - we have included some photos from a recent game drive the senior couples took recently. The Stones from Logan are seated with Elder Godfrey, and I am in the back with the Millers from Wales, Utah. Our association with the other senior missionaries is one of the best parts of this experience. Although our assignments differ, we have much in common. It's a great way to spend retirement!

Most of these photos don't need a label - zebra! South Africans pronounce it - zeb (rhymes with second month of the year - Feb) ra.


Giraffe



Notice the warthogs between the two giraffe.




A herd of Bleesbek





Lioness






Napping lion - our instructions from the guide - speak softly and keep your hands inside the vehicle!!

Male - white lion



(see photo at top)








The female white lion joins her mate.









The white lion family. As the female and the cubs joined the male, we watched them "clean" the female who had blood on her fur from a recent kill.










Elder Godfrey is shown with Elder Miller from Midway, Utah. Elder Miller also served as a young missionary in Japan - about 11 years after Elder Godfrey.
























A delicious lunch was served half-way through the game drive. One of the senior couples was leaving to go home, so we got together on P-day for the game drive and visiting. The couples in this mission come from Idaho, Utah, and Arizona. Many more are needed!


We are blessed with good health. We miss all of you and enjoy hearing from you!

Go well - the Godfreys
