Finally able to respond a bit on borrowed computer, others waiting in line. We are doing great, Milton in construction on school and church, Judy in medical clinic. We saw 161 pts today, I am the last station to give a gift prepackaged by VBS group and to offer prayer, wonderful people hear. Weather cooler and air conditioned rooms, although not fancy by any means. Two more days of work than new church dedication on Sabbath Day (March 21, 2009), [then] off to Kruger National Park with this group! Home on Wednesday March 25th.

Love you all, (I need to figure out a name that fits for all) Dad, Milton, Papa, Judy, MOM, M&M
Anyway we love you all!!

South Africa is completely different – more modern. We are staying at the SDA Helderberg College (website*) in a guest room after driving in the dark from the airport in a rented car. Driving on the opposite side with all car signals opposite, after dark was a bit harrowing, but we made it just fine.

Tonight we will transfer to a lovely B&B downtown in Cape Town, so that we can return the car today. We plan to take a cable car up Table Mountain tomorrow and maybe Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned (wikipedia). The College was a great place to stay for two nights to relax and catch up our laundry, but Milton will feel much safer when we return the car today so that’s why we decided to move close into town. Have our reservations all made with B&B and a shuttle to take us their from the car rental office.

Having a great time, tired, but happy and keeping safe. ~CrabbMJ
