| During interviews, Sister Dunn held a manners lunch where the topic of etiquette and manners was discussed and practiced. This was a huge success and the missionaries went away with some new skills that will help them impress through their lives. Also a yummy lunch of butternut squash soup and homemade bread was enjoyed. That Sister Dunn in one amazing mission mom!! |
 |
| It was impressive to see the missionaries prepare the table for lunch, without any instructions. |
 |
| The final table looks great. Good job Elders!! |
 |
| Elder Olson turns 20!!! He will go home when he is 20, because he was 18 when he came out. |

We took a P-day and went to the Rhino and Lion Park in Krugersdorp. It was a beautiful day. Sunshine and in the 70's. Perfect!
 |
| At this park, the animals are fed, so they don't have to hunt. They have been rescued from the wild. |
 |
| There was an amazing variety of animals in the park. |
 |
| Rare Sable Antelope |
 |
| Love the long, straight horns on this Gemsbok |
 |
| The animals have learned to get along with each other |
 |
| This is a male rhino |
 |
| There were a lot of Ostriches, and I couldn't stop taking photos of them. |
 |
| We drove through the Lion and Predator Camp |
 |
| Wild dogs taking a siesta |
 |
| Nap Time...I think we came at the wrong time |
 |
| Naptime for the lions |
 |
| White tiger |
 |
| Elder Allred made friends with the pygmy hippo. He would come over to the fence and look at us with big sad eyes. |
...........................................
We then went to the Creche and played with the baby lions. They were between 2 to 4 months old. So cute!
 |
| Elder Allred made friends with this 4 month old lion. He will have a full mane at around 6 to 9 months. They will weigh in at 550 lbs. |
 |
| It was so much fun being up close and personal with these cuties |
 |
| This lion wanted to play. He had my arm in his mouth! I could feel his teeth, but he didn't bite very hard. |
 |
| I now have a shirt with two holes made by his teeth! |
 |
| "Despicable Me" |

We met three girls from Israel! They are working here in South Africa. We had a good discussion about the church and Sister Jefferies had some pass-along cards to give them.
They speak Hebrew. |
 |
| Such a fun day! |
...................................................
 |
| Of course we made a stop at Rocomamas! |
 |
| Beautiful sunrise |

We moved the Cosmo City missionaries to a new flat. The district came in full force to help.
 |
| Here is Elder Irakiza, one of our new missionaries. He was so happy to help and jumped right in. |
 |
| Elders Bonifaz, Allred, and Graham |
 |
| Elders Irakiza, De la Cruz, and Graham |
