Brother Kaseti travels in the same boat with the Elders. He has received word that his wife has given birth to their eighth child.

Each boat carries eight passengers..


These aluminum boats are 23 feet long...

Thank You for your service on Taveuni Elder Howard and Elder Vitiarai!














The Elders are moving to their new flat. Elder Vermeeren made four bed frames from two.

Now they will be able to accommodate visiting Elders...

Another funeral tomorrow. Sister's prepare food at the church.



Sister Lesuma works very hard to keep the grounds of the church beautiful!
