We have been in East London. We are now in Cape Town. It is such a beautiful place. We met with President Cedras. He is a counselor to the
stake president here in Cape Town we went to his house for dinner tonight. They had a beautiful house. He has a ice cream business where he
sells ice cream on the beaches here. He showed us his business. He has ice cream carts on bicycles with umbrella's . We
thought this would be a good business for some of the unemployed in Port Elizabeth. We met some of the young boys
that ride the carts on the beaches. There was one young boy I stopped and talk to. He said he was so excited he wanted to see missionaries
today. He says he wants to go on a mission and he started working here at the ice cream place two years ago. He has been saving his money but his family i
s very poor and he gives most of the money to them so it is hard to s ave much money. Meanwhile time marches on and he is twenty five now. He
said his family are members but he is the only one that is active. He said he loves to go to church and wishes church was every day.
We have been in Capetown since Monday. This has been a very eventful trip. We have been invited to come back. Employment is coming
full force ahead. I know the lord has been opening the doors in Capetown for employment for our members. President Cedras is the counselor over employment. He has such a
good heart. We are really blessed to have him.
We were able to go to Robbin Island today and learn about the Africans that were imprisoned for fighting for freedom against the par tide. We saw
the prison cell Nelson Mandela stayed in for 18 years. It is incredible the sacrifice they gave for the cause of freedom for the Africans.
It feels so good when you help people and put a smile on there face. We truly have a testimony of helping the poor and needy of the earth
especially in South Africa.
