Elders arrive following the Transfers - Dinner at the Thomas'

As the new Elders who are being transferred arrive in Queenstown, we invite them over for our traditional dinner of Stew and Rolls.  After a very full day of traveling either from Queenstown down to East London and back or beginning early in the day to fly from Cape Town to East London and then the 2 1/2 hour drive up to Queenstown the Elders are a bit tired.  They are also hungry and the transferring elders have no food.

A quick meal and new introductions is a good way to start out the experience of working in the Queenstown area.  The new elders arriving in Queenstown are Elders Cathemer, Labrum, Potter, Ah-Fua and Elder Murphy, our new Zone Leader.

In lower middle and right are Elder Shongwe & Potter and Elder Cathemer and Pennington.  In upper left are Elders Palelei with his companion on his right, Elder Labrum and Elder Ah-Fua with Elder Ngobeni on his right.

Sister Thomas was refilling the elders bowls and providing extra rolls all evening.  The introductions were good.  It is a wonderful group of missionaries.
