A sample of pictures from Eric, Brandi, Tam and Rob's visit to South Africa

We were so excited to greet Eric, Brandi and Tam when they arrived at the airport

Eric, Tam behind talking to Brandi--They were tired but so excited to be there.

We took them to Sun City for a few holes of ladies pro-golf then planned to drive through Pilanesburg reserve

But the golfers got us tickets to a pro-Rugby game and Eric preferred that.  The golfers explained the plays.

The girls loved hosting the kids who loved the excitement of the game.

Ellis Stadium is where Invictus was filmed.

A highlight was Orange Farm branch.  Eric noticed that Sinetemba didn't have dress shoes.  He took his off and gave them to him.  Sinetemba hugged me and whispered, "My mission is becoming a reality more each day."

The kids gave clothes to the branch, orphanage and the MTC

We spent 4 days at St Lucia on the Indian Ocean.  Eric and Rob fly fished in it.

We went on safari and this big elephant challenged our being there in his territory.  He won. We slowly backed up.

Eric's big purchase was a Wildebeest rug for his living room.

YSA ACTIVITY

We had our last YSA activity before we leave

We love these kids.  We played games and fed them KFC

They are always late--We started at 3 pm with 8 kids and ended with 16 

We had them draw slips of paper to tell something about themselves to get to know them better.  Then they wanted to ask us all kinds of questions.  They asked how did we stay so happily married.  Did we ever have bad or sad days.  We always smile and radiate happiness.  How can they have that in their lives. What a wonderful beginning for our lesson tomorrow about temple marriage.
