"And whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up." D&C 84:88

Elder Slabbert Gets a Call from the Mission President

This was a special day and while we were on the hike, Elder Slabbert received a phone call from President Wood.  This call was received when we were on the way up the mountain.  There are not to many times that you get to take a picture of someone being called as a new District Leader in the South Africa Cape Town Mission, but that is what happened while we were on the mountain.  If I remember correctly, President Wood told Elder Slabbert that it was time that he elevated himself.  I am sure that was in reference to the mountain that we are on and also the new calling given to Elder Slabbert.  We will miss Elder Slabbert because he has been a joy to be around and a pleasure to teach with from time to time.

As a side note, you can tell just how steep the mountain is by the angle between Elder Slabbert and the mountain side.  He is standing vertically and the slope is up to the left.  What is that angle, something between 30 and 45 degrees?
