CAPE TOWN
As we have had time, we have tried to see the sights around
Cape Town. The attractions are numerous and one could spend a couple of weeks
full time seeing them and still come up short of seeing everything worthwhile.
Trying to capture the sights on camera does not do them justice; especially with the
pocket sized one we brought with us. However, it does a good job of gathering
in the broad scope scenic view and that is what we hope you will appreciate as
you view the collection of snaps here.

On arrival home - greetings, greetings everywhere. |
As a closing note, we want each of you to know we are unable to put in words the gratitude we have of the privilege of being able to serve a mission for our Church in South Africa. We have come to appreciate the great abundance that the Lord has given us and a people who have so much less than us. We hope that when we have gotten to know our family again, the Lord will find a use for us somewhere else.
