Monday, May 20th - back to Durban, stopping in Bethlehem

Today is Monday and we are up early, so we can start our seven hour drive back to Durban. We skipped breakfast and just had a banana, paid our bill and now we are "On the Road Again." Somehow the drive is not as fun on the way back as the way there, because we've already done it, but I still saw things that I hadn't seen on the way up. I am still amazed by how beautiful Africa is.

We stopped again in Bethlehem at the same gas station/restaurant. We saw the same gas attendant and he told Elder Kyle that he really did want to go to church, so we got his name and phone number and told him the Elders would call.

We then went into BJs again and the same waitress waited on us. She was glad to see us and said she wanted to take her two children and go to our church on Sunday. We also took her name and number and said that two young men would be calling her and directing her to the church. This happens all the time. The people here are so ready for the Gospel.






When we arrived in Durban, we stopped at the grocery store, because we are hosting the senior couple family home evening tonight and I am supposed to make something edible for when they come and for our lesson we are going to share with them our experiences on our two recent trips. These are couples that for the most part are stuck in the area office from 8-5 daily. We also had a DVD to show them of our Elders painting the school for the orphans in Swaziland. I made key-lime pie and a fruit plate. It was a great evening and somehow we pulled it all off in the two hours we had between the time we returned and the time everyone arrived. The Lord must have helped on that one. Even my pie was ready to eat by the time we finished the lesson.
