Fellowship, Relaxation and some NUTS!!!!

Day 5 - I was sick this morning. I think it was one of those catch-up sicknesses where your throat, head, ears, skin...everthing hurts and you can sleep it off. I, and the family, were very pleased to see me feeling better by the evening. We all went out to sweep down the house of cob webs.






Then Ben and I climbed up the pecan tree and shook it as the others laid tarps down and picked up nuts.
We have a lot of nuts!! I have been shelling too so my thumbs are pretty sore. Later Sarah and Candi went to a Sunday School meeting. While they were away we got a phone call that our gardener's wife (Felina) was in a taxi accident. So Mr Z and I went to the hospital to care for her and then take her home. We had to go to 2 hospitals because Pretoria Academic has an old and new location. There were no computers, everything was done by hand, the conditions were less than sanitary, and the waiting conditions as well.

Day 6- This was a relaxing day.

We went to the mall to get money, groceries and duvet insides to prepare for Rebecca G and the others coming.

Then when we got home Mary (my new friend!) was cleaning and we made Jimmy John's type subs. We also got to stop at a thrift shop and dig through mountains of stuff looking for something we could use in the church for chairs. Right now at the Onderstepoort Church the people bring their own chairs: plastic, wood, metal, a log, a blanket for the floor, or they stand. We also kept at the endless craking of nuts. That evening, Sarah and Candi went to a ladies meeting at church. They do not have regular Wednesday night services. While they were gone, we got a phone call that Josiah's wife was in a taxi accident (see day 5 - oops, I put it on the wrong day)
