This is looking down on the food court at Century City - a huge mall in Cape Town.

Now we are down in the food court eating our pizza (what a treat!)They had a fashion show going behind that large thing in the middle, the background music was classical rock. The fashions were kind of from the 50's - nothing extreme. We saw many people from all ethnic backgrounds and no tatoos, piercings, weird hairdos---it was very interesting. We didn't feel unsafe except that we couldn't find our way out when we were ready to go home and had to ask a security person where our exit door was. We weren't far from it, but we were going the wrong direction!

Our neighbor Vanessa takes care of two flower beds in the quad of our apt bldg. She gave us a "bird of paradise" flower to have in our flat. We love it, but we think there are bugs in it because we keep finding little black bugs on the floor in our kitchen. I don't know how long it will last.

This is a picture of some of the worst poverty here in the city. This is on the edge of where our branch is. Possibly some of the people in our branch live here. We had a presentation for the 5th Sunday yesterday on the perpetual education fund encouraging them to get education. They were very interested, but they said the process of getting approved takes 6-8 weeks and it is hard for them. We have one couple assigned to travel the mission and sign people up---that is their whole mission.
