The Hike up Hangklip - Elders that went on the hike

I wanted to have one picture of each person that went up on the mountain for our memories.  It was a delightful day on the mountain.  I wish I was able to reach out to the families of each of these elders and express our love for their sons.  We have been privileged to work with some of Heavenly Father’s finest.

On consecutive rows: Elder and Sister Thomas, Elder Lawson, Elder Slabbert, Elder Pennington in the middle with his Book of Mormon, Elder Ngobeni and Elder Lekgoati.  The picture of the Hangklip Mountain is a picture that I took from Queenstown a couple of months ago.  We made it up the mountain very close to the base of the cliff on the left had side of the mountain.

There is an additional story told in these pictures.  Half way up the mountain we discovered that Elder Pennington brought a Book of Mormon in the his bag.  He wanted to be prepared in case there was some quiet time to sit and read.  Such is the faith and commitment of a new missionary.  On the other hand, Elder Lekgoati our Zone Leader who is less than a transfer away from going home, brought nothing, claiming with outstretched arms, that everything he needs is in his head.  Such is the knowledge of a well trained Elder  (and one who did not want to carry anything on the hike).  We shared our water with him.
