Following their home furlough, they have now moved to their new assignment in Johannesburg, South Africa, arriving there in early May, 2011.  Scot was appointed in August 2000. He worked in the areas of field administration for the Melanesia and South Pacific Fields, and now works with the Regional Finance Coordinator in the Africa Regional Office.
