Doug and I arrive in Provo, Utah, Monday Sept. 20th. We will fly out on Monday the 27th at 10:40am  to Cape Town South Africa, arriving in Cape Town Tuesday at 10:20pm.  That is about 25 hours of flying and a whole heck of a lot of hours in the airports and waiting in line.

We joined 49 other sisters and couple missionaries serving all over the world: United States, Canada, Mexico, Phillipines, England, Taiwan, Phillippines, South Africa, Guatemala, Germany, Hong Kong, New Zealand and South America.

We have been on a special spiritual journey with these wonderful brothers and sisters as we shared our love of the Savior with one another.  We began each day at 6am, and then off to class from 8-12, 1:30-4:30.  We grew to love each of them and have had a hard time saying good-bye to some of them today.

On Wednesday a new group of young Elders and Sisters arrived. They have an enthusiasm and love of their Savior that is contageous. They run to open the doors for us and step aside in the cafeteria so we can go to the front of the line. Then they stop and ask where we are going and when. We have had some wonderful connections with the couples and young missionaries. One sisters granddaughter babysat our grandchildren last Sat. Another couple is the mother and father of one of the doctors wives where I worked in Rexburg. It is such a small world.

You might ask yourself where you are on your spiritual journey. I have asked that of myself this week.
Love to you all, Sister Ladle
