Wow, Roy the energizer bunny was going full steam those last few days in South Africa.\u00a0 He tied up a lot of loose ends, but also has left quite a few tasks in the hands of Zweli, the farm manager.\u00a0 Zweli will be busy with the macadamia crop already existing on the farm, but he does have more help than usual right now.\u00a0 Please pray for him to be able to direct work while he keeps up with all his usual other tasks on the farm .\u00a0 He and the other 3 workers are thrilled that Anna, our daughter-in-law, will continue on with morning bible study.\u00a0 That is way cool!<\/p>\n
