Spending time with the Bothas

Sara spent about 5 days with the Bothas in Uitenhage. Ma thoroughly spoiled Sara and there was no shortage of food or conversation!

Flowers, Ferro Roche chocolates and an African themed bedroom were only the start of all the surprises! Ma really went out of her way and made Sara's stay very comfortable and enjoyable...breakfast in bed every day - what more can we say?!

The Botha brothers - minus Clark:( It was sad to see them all together and know that Clark was sitting in Loma Linda by himself:( Sidney was visiting from Taiwan.

Kelvin and Tracy took Sabbath school and involved all the family - Clive played piano and gave the mission's talk and Sidney and Sara were each asked to say a few words about their church experiences abroad.

Waiting for our dinner at Admirals - a lovely buffet-style restaurant in Port Elizabeth.

Ma and Pa proudly showing off the gifts that we bought them.

Lots of silliness went on...above are Clive and Sidney fooling around with their presents from Clark and my brother-in-laws have INSISTED that I put in this hideous photo of me (below) over-doing my smile as Ma and I were showing off our hard work - melkterts!

Looking at all the baby presies with Tracy - we are so excited that we are going to be an aunty and uncle in January:)

Our third set of parents (Clark's god-parents) - Oom Vivian and Tannie Gertjie.

Saying goodbyes...Clive, Kelvin and Tracy and Sidney (at the back). Thanks for a wonderful time ma, pa, broers en susie! xxx
