Its not always, work, work, work, here at the Area Office. On Saturday, we were invited to go to the Vodacom World of Golf facility outside of Johannesburg for some golf lessons.

 Our teachers were 3 members of the Church Laurette Maritz (called Lolly), Reeve Niel, who stayed with us when we lived in Irvine, CA. She was 13 years old at the time and Cecile Lundgreen (called CC). Lolly and CC are touring golf pros on the European Ladies Tour. Reeve is their coach. A couple of years ago, Lolly and Reeve started a charity called "Eyes4Zimbabwe". CC is now part of the program which raises money for many Zimbabweans who have cataracts and other eye site problems.

 This is picture of me with Reeve and Monte Eggett. Elder Eggett was a missionary in South Africa during the time I was out here. He and his wife are presently serving in the Area Office with responsibility for employment.

 Last time we saw Reeve she was 13 years old. I might add, after watching my golf swing, with all its bad habits, she gave me some really good tips. I might have to try qualifying for the Senior PGA tour when I get home.

Mom discovered that CC was Norwegian born. You know how important that heritage is to Mom.
