We drove to Johannesburg yesterday (Thursday) morning and got home this afternoon.  We had to pay for our petrol for our truck for the past 6 months, before Elder and Sister Wagner go home next Wednesday!  We have enjoyed them so much!  We will really miss them!!  Elder Wold also had an ENT appointment and got his ears cleaned out (every 3 months) so that was good too! We took money to Patron Housing at the temple for Mbabane Branch's temple trip and also got a few things for people at the Distribution Center, even though the temple is still closed until Sept. 25th.

Driving in Johannesburg....

I just LOVE all the trees! Ü 

I LOVED these beautiful flowers on the temple grounds! 

I have not seen them before! 

This rose tree was gorgeous!

I had to laugh at this framed sign on the inside of the toilet stall 

at Thrupp's in Joburg

Just a few photos of some of the homes we see on our way from

Joburg to Swaziland....

We taught Bakezile and her sister Lungile with the zone leaders on

Tuesday night.  Just before we left, Bakezile whispered to me that it was her 

13th birthday on Thursday!  She wondered if I could bring her something. So

Wednesday night we took her a little chocolate birthday cake and sang to her, 

since we knew we would be in Johannesburg on her birthday.  She was SO happy! Ü

Tuesday night as we were getting in our truck at Lungile's and Bakazile's place, 

the moon looked SO cool!  It was just a little sliver that looked like a SMILE! 

(This is the best photo I could get....)

Saturday, we went with our zone leaders to teach Thuli's next door neighbor, Djabulile and her family.  Her kids and Thulie's kids were all eating these berries off their trees.  I am trying to find out what they are.  They tasted pretty good but stain like crazy!! They said the name in siSwati but it was hard to understand. They grow on big trees.

Yesterday was Amanda Simelane's birthday.  She is our Ezulwini Branch YSA Rep. She wanted my cookies for her birthday, so we dropped some by after church. 

She was SO happy!! She is darling and such an awesome YSA Rep! 

Elder Wold got this photo of her little boy eating an avocado as

I was taking the picture of her. Ü  He ate EVERY drop, scooping it out with all five fingers!
