| Randfontein meeting house. The drive takes about 30 minutes from the flat. We loved meeting with this ward. Everyone was friendly and happy to greet us. The children and women gave hugs freely and I even got to hold a four month old baby during relief society meeting! It helped relieve some of the pain from being away from our grandchildren. Testimony meeting was amazing. No down time and each testimony was strong and powerful, while at the same time, simple and pure. |
 |
| A whirlwind just outside the parking lot. Last year a tornado tore through here and damaged the roof of the chapel. They just completed the repairs. |
 |
| Second baptism we attended today. This is a family of four. The other was at the Randfontein ward, the bishop's daughter. |
