Photos for the Week - 9-15 February

Meeting hall at the college in the Madadeni Township where the Newcastle District conference was held. We set up 480 chairs and most were filled at the start of the meeting.

A typical Relief Society room in the smaller chapels. Note the stove, sink and counter at the end of the room.

A sample of the scenery on the way to Newcastle. Mountainous, very green, lots of cattle grazing with grass up to their bellies. A little different from the semi-tropical look around Durban.


Sandy with three of our seven PEF students in the Umlazi-BB Ward. When we are in the Durban area on Sunday where the church units are less than an hours drive apart, we attend a sacrament meeting in one unit and part of Relief Society or Priesthood in another; meeting with students before and after meetings. There are two stakes in the Durban area with a total of 19 wards and branches.

It is so wonderful to read your epistles. You could easily transcribe it into a book. The pictures are so fun. I was reading about the culture (Zulu) and I am curious how the matter of multiple wives are handled vis-a-vis the church.
The Idea of TWO stakes in Druban never occurred to me. I remember when Seattle only had one stake and UT folks were amazed at that. Amazing!
