Service Project at the Miselo's

Today we had a busy morning running down where we could purchase a map of Mlungisi for Elders Ramat and Pennington.  Once that was done we then drove up to the Sibonile Village which is past Sada on a dirt road for about a 30 minute drive.  We went to do a small service project for the Miselo Family.  We also went so Sister Thomas could go through the list of items that Wendy needs to have completed so she is fully prepared to report to her mission in May.

I glued some chairs from a dining room set that had worked loose through simple use over time.  While I did this, Sister Thomas and Wendy sat out in the warm sun and went through the documents.  You can see the clear blue African sky over their shoulders.  It was a wonderful beautiful warm but not hot day.  While we were at the Miselo’s, we found out that Awongiwe had her baby this week.

Once we were done at the Miselo’s we went to the church where we met up with Elders Palelei and Smith.  Sister Thomas dropped me off at the church and then she went to the Whittlesea Spar to get some food stuffs for Awongiwe.  They apparently don’t give them very much to eat while in hospital. 

While at the church, we made the final preparations for the Fireside that the Bishop has asked us to prepare for and present this Sunday after Church.  I also took the time to update the Church Membership records for the new information that we have collected over the past week.

Once completed at the Church, we went to the hospital where Awongiwe was so we could see how she was doing and to see her new son.  What a beautiful little baby boy!  We left the small care package with her and offered our support.
