We hope everyone is doing well. This has been a different week for us. The temple is closed for regular maintenance which gives temple missionaries time to explore and enjoy some of the attractions in South Africa. Most of the missionaries and even the temple presidency have used this break as time to do those things they can't do while the temple is open.
We decided to stay here and use the time to let Laraine get better. We did go to the African Market to see what souvenirs we want and that was quite an experience. They have so many things that would be unique and fun to have. We were told before we went that when you ask a price, the price they give is just the starting place and they expect to dicker back and forth. Neither Laraine or I are very good at trying to talk them down, nor do we enjoy it. There is so much there that you actually become overwhelmed. We found that we had to decide on a couple of things, look throughout the market to find what we liked the best and then dicker as best we could until we decided that for us it was reasonable, but probably not the best price that someone else might get.

We were able to get a couple of things that we are pleased with and will be anxious to show off.
Office missionaries have been aware that the temple is closed and have tried to involve us in various activities. With those and everything else that has happened, we haven't had much time. Therefore, this email will be short and we will fill you in later.
We love everyone and send our love. We feel your prayers and support for us.
