We saw two adult monkeys and several little monkeys walking the phone line at our neighbor's house. We were able to capture this picture before they disappeared.
This is a picture taken from the center of the jungle patch behind our house looking back up at the house.
This is the outside of the Pavilion Mall which is about 8-10 miles from our boarding. The parking on top is free and inside the parking structures it costs less than a U.S. dollar depending on length of stay. The mall has four levels and we would guess is about twice the total size of the University Mall in Orem. The Gateway Mall ("The mother of all malls") is 3-4 miles from our boarding and is one of the world's mega malls. We would guess it is twice the size of the Pavilion Mall. The inside of these malls and the stores are as modern as anything we have seen in the states. This illustrates what it means to live in the first world even though most of our missionary work is in the third world. South Africa is a nation of economic contrast.

What a beautiful view outside your apartment. The monkey was way cute. It would be kind of fun to see the wildlife we see in movies up close.
It was sure nice to talk to you.
Keep up the great work.
I actually check every weeks...sometimes more. I've finally caught on that Sunday is the best day. The pictures are great. You make it sound easy and enjoyable to be doing the Lord's work. Hope you aren't too hot. We are actually supposed to get up to 70 tomorrow.
Take care and best wishes for this next week.....miss you
