Leaving Port Alfred - homeward bound soon!

Lewis (in the center) and his friends ready to play soccer. Roads in the township are often filled with children tossing or kicking a ball. They seem happy and content with very little.

Children in the township make do with whatever they can find for toys. These boys are using the wheels from a broken shopping cart for rides down the hill.

Alfonate takes a turn! (See the next picture for explanation.)

Two of our member children - Magret and Alfonate Tunye. Alfonate and Magret came from Zimbabwe in January to join their parents after a separation of more than a year. Alfonate had never been in a swing. He was willing to push his sister but didn't want to try it himself.

Some of the beautiful children waiting for soup and bread at the site outside town where the food is distributed.

Combined District Meeting with the Grahamstown Branch - five of the eight young elders are from African countries. The Fullmers from Idaho are the other senior couple in the photo. They have become our dear friends - always ready to consult with us on branch concerns. The young elders are enthusiastic and hard working. We will miss them! We have had a wonderful experience here in the Cape Town Mission. It has been a life-changing experience. We will never forget the people we have met and come to love. We have learned much from them.

We are looking forward to being home and seeing all of you - our family and friends!
