Flats and Friends


Not all senior missionary flats are created equal.  The Lombardis live in a different complex than the rest of the couples.  Their flat came with a deck almost the size of our whole apartment and a pool.  It's nice that they will share their nice deck with our dinner group.



There is not longer a drought in Johannesburg.  We have seen some of the heaviest rain that we've ever seen in our lives  The thunder was very loud and very close.  It even set off the car alarms below.  This is the view from our office window.  I'm in the background working while Chuck documents the deluge.  We are so glad to finally see some good rain.


Our good Portuguese friends, the Mirandas moved from Luanda, Angola, to Johannesburg.  We were so glad to have a baccalhau com natas lunch with them in their beautiful home out in the Fourways area.  Since he is a Coke executive, we had all the Coke we could drink.  Then they took us for a walk around their gorgeous complex complete with streams, willow trees and monitor lizards.  The homes were big and nice, and we felt a little like we were back home in Los Gatos and Campbell.
