Fire in Capetown


 
 
Last Monday we were asked to go to Capetown in response to a fire that destroyed 200 homes in this community
 

 Capetown has several of these communities and it is not uncommon for them to experience fires that quickly ravish the area. The church was asked to help in the sorting of clothing and household items that were distributed to the affected families, We worked with some of the local members of the church so that the next time their community is affected by a natural disaster the members of the church will be prepared to respond quickly.

The first thing we did was enlist the younger missionaries who are serving their missions in Capetown
We couldn't have done it without them
 


Elder Kinghorn and Elder Lee kept right up with them, they were busy, sorting, stuffing, and carrying these heavy garbage bags for 3 days

We had to take a picture with Elder Wilde and his companion because he is good friends with Bo Oldroyd who was in our District in Ukraine for several months. (just had to show Bo who we ran into on our mission)
