Everyone is grateful for the Love, Prayers and support .
Arriving in Matei Airport..
The post office has no roof and is closed.....
The further one drives south on the Island the damage increases.
Lots of roof and water damage....
We are so impressed with the gathering of young and old to help each other...
Smiles abound.....
Roads are washed out....
There is no jetty for boats to dock....
Without water at our house, Elder Vermeeren got to use the creek to wash up...
The church purchased lots of food we were able to help distribute.
The Ferry dock fractured..
The youth came home Thursday Nite after an adventure of their own. It was good to have the missionaries home on the same boat.
On the way to Vuna and Navakawau with water and food
Very few homes remain standing.
Our bush Chapel in Vuna.
The washroom facilities...
This Sister told us she buried her scriptures in the ground before the cyclone hit.
This family of nine with another on the way , were grateful for the use of the Branches primary tent.
Navakawa children were thrilled to see us!
Navakawa Village was hit with a tidal wave as the cyclone began.
Good to have friends
The villagers cried as we unloaded the food .
Nine year old Caroline was severely cut by a piece of roofing tin. She is the sister of Joji ,one of the youth we took to Suva. Her older brother put her in a wheelbarrow, and ran down the dirt road , five kilometres to the Vuna Nursing station. He saved her life! She walks with her little cane.
This is the home Caroline lived in with her brothers ,Mom, Angela, and several nieces and nephews.. The mom is a widow and is raising several of her grandchildren. Joji went to Suva for the cultural event he also has his mission papers in.
Anjina is ready to put in here mission papers in.
What an honour to wear these vests and Serve these wonderful people!
