The children are always excited when we come.

We picked up four young men for the  Temple Rededication and Cultural Event in Suva this weekend. Note the link at the beginning of the blog. Taveuni youth will be participating in the Vanuatu dance. They will make a T with their arms after the dance so we can see where they are. Our Elders will be walking on at the end of the performance. 
We are now in Navakawau picking up kids... 
This is Elder Dunn, Villame, Amani, and Joji. They will be joined by other youth, four chaperones and our full time missionaries. 

Our Elders and Sisters leave today too!
