George and Pat Moodly were Indian South Africans. They lived in the Indian community and when we first met them they were in a very, very small house that was built in the Indian community during apartheid. Although much of what we know about apartheid has to do with the black community, the leaders had separated the Indians and colored as well as the blacks. They lived in three separate communities.
We stayed with George and Pat in their home for a good part of a week back in 2001. We talked together, ate curry, talked some more, ate more curry, and just had a delightful time with them. We became very close and remained close until this year.
George finished his earthly life a few weeks ago and even though I am in the States and he was in South Africa, I miss him. He was an unusual person. He loved his Lord. He loved the people in the Reservoir Hills Baptist Church that he had started. He love his wife and family. He had a great spirit and was a faithful worker for the Lord.
I am sorry that you did not know George. He was a good person to know because he had that great spirit. He would have liked you because he liked everybody. You would have liked him because he was so easy to like. George was more humble than most people are. If you don’t know the Lord, it would be a good time for you to come to the Lord and trust Him as your Savior, and then tell the Lord that you would like to be like George. God can do that for you.

I do not remember the name of the family, but I do remmber the wonderful desert and sweet coffee they let me have after the meal. grandad I changed my e-mail address b/c I can no longer log in to Piedmont's e-mail.
