We try to do service whenever we can. Recently, we came acroiss a service opportunity in the community. They have here what they call "Tuck Shops". a tuck shop is a [very] small store maybe 8' X 8' to 16' X 16' square where they sell bread, soft drinks, potoao chips, tobacco, candy, sandwiches etc. So we brought the full time missionaries and did the job It turned out quite nice. The tuck shop owner gave us sandwiches and drinks befre we left.

World Cup Soccer







I can't tell you how exciting it was and how much fun we had at the FIFA World Cup Soccer Game at the Moses Mobhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday. Truly, a once in a lifetime experience. I'm not sure who Moses Mobhida was, but he must have quite a guy to have a soccer stadium named afer him. Soccer is a very big sport here and all throughout the world.

I thought it might be nice to see the local shopping mall. This is a picture of the Newcastle Victoria Mall. It has about 15 stores (all of which close at 5:00 PM and at 2:00 PM on Saturday). Interestingly enough, when the mall is open, there are no lights on so it's difficult to tell if anyone is working. It's been an adjustment to say the least. Most of you know that I'm not a big "mall shopper" anyway, but this one is a real beauty.
