Our long time Swedish friend\/missionary colleague and recently widowed Gunnel M. and her buddy Lulu (also was a CAR missionary) came to stay with us for a couple of days on their way from Capetown to Joburg where her son now lives, at least when he’s not out traveling for his job of managing game parks.\u00a0 It was good to be with them and reminisce a bit about CAR.\u00a0 We sure missed Roland as we talked of old times together and caught up on family news.\u00a0 They are now safe back in Sweden, leaving South Africa on one of the last flights out before the Corona virus limitations hit hard.<\/p>\n
