We received some welcomed news and pictures form the MTC and our beloved Sister Reber.

Dinner time and a new experience with South African Culture... 

 

We had "pap" for dinner.  It is ground white corn and looks a little like mashed potatoes.
Our African Elders were happy to demonstrate how to roll it into a ball with his fingers and
then eat it with your hands.  You can see from the photos who were excited, curious, or nervous to try it. It was a fun experience.

 The Elders had 30 minutes of service at the MTC today.
They washed the MTC van, swept the walks and dug up the
sand in the volleyball court.  They were willing workers.

 Several days a week, the Elders have sports from 3:30 in the afternoon until 4:30.
Then they clean up for dinner by 5:00.  This group of Elders play soccer together.
A few play basketball and some pass around a rugby ball.  It is a nice change of
pace for them.
