They moved to a retirement village in Worcester, Western Cape at the end of November where they are happily living now.

After hearing about the baptism of many Deafies, Nosipho Dambuza (D) of Katlehong asked William to baptize her so William had a pleasure to baptize her in the pool of his daughter, Kirsty Muller in Kensington on 29 November.

On 6 December 2009, 4 month-old Caylen (H) was dedicated to the Lord at Deaf New Life Church East, Germiston. Her deaf parents, Dean & Colleen Thompson and their families and friends came. There were over 60 people (including 6 children) at the dedication service.

On 6 February 2010, 13 of us, Deaf ladies, went to Victory Church in Benoni for the “Victorious Women” Conference on “The Apple of His Eye” with Wilma Chelius (daughter of Rex & Marian Bothma (D) - back middle with glasses) interpreting.

It was a blessed afternoon.
