Newsletter 1/27/2012


Dear Family and Friends from South Africa,
   I know these letters are boring because we haven't been writing them and no one seems to miss them.  I am writing because I want to send you some pictures we took down time Ladysmith.   We were down town and this truck load of bricks were parked along side a fence and they  were unloading it by one and two bricks at a time.  One man is throwing the brick to another man who then stacks them.  That picture will follow.
   We are back to doing the same ole same ole.  We are teaching piano on Tuesday and Wednesday.  We have dropped the Thursday kids because we have to drive ove 150 k's.  We are trying to figure how we can still teach.  We did some after church, but we might be able to do it if we go to the distric meetings in Dundee at least once a month.  We have had our k's cut to 3000 a month.  We pay for our own gas too.
  We had transfers last Tuesday and we had to be out on N3 at 6;10 am, but the bus was late and it was more like 7am.  Then we took the two Elder's up to Newcastle.  We then picked up an Elder and took him back to N3 to catch the bus.  Again the bus was late.  We stopped by the house and made lunch and fed the Elder and then went to the bus stop.
   The Peterson's are coming today and will stay tonight and tomorrow night.  They will be at the church all day tomorrow.  We have been doing a little deep cleaning.  Elder Hudson worked on the garage Wednesday because it was cloudy and cool.  I cleaned out the closets in the guest bedroom and washed down the doors. 
   We also went on another game drive with the Ladysmith Elders out to the Nambiti Reserve.  The Elder's were so excited to go.  We had to be there at 5:00am and we left at 5:30am.  It is a three hour drive.  We saw rinos, water buffalos, zebra, girraffe, springbok, willabest, and a few more bok.  I can't remember all the bok that is here.  The water buffalo were very close this time.  They are so unpreditable and will charge the vehicle.  I was really surprised the driver got so close.  The rino saw us and turned and ran.  We didn't even get a picture.  We got very close to the zebras too.
   Well, I think I have bored you enough.  I will attach some pictures.
   We are really blessed to be serving here in Ladysmith.
 
With Love.
Elder and Sister Hudson
