They take down the volleyball net from last Friday's Branch event ..A volleyball game, pot luck, and Movie "Meet the Mormons"
The primary class has children ages 3-12 today. They love to sing . One of the children ( a seven year old) was the chorister. She lead the singing with her hand in time to the beat. They know all of the "Articles of Faith ", 13 statements of what members of the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints " believe, by memory.
Some of the congregation come by transport. The Bus is filled to overflowing!
They are loving, kind, happy people.
Some walk 1-2 hours each way to attend Church services.
Many people fish to provide food for their families.
Elder Kanongata a' and Elder Carter enjoyed being part of the Friday Volleyball party.
After district meeting, we enjoyed Hawaiian baked beans and cinnamon buns...

Elder Vermeeren is now a legal driver in Fiji..Although there are no intersections, no traffic lights, no pedestrian walk ways, no stop signs.....people do stop for no reason or park in the middle of our one road island. It is also a walkway as there are very few cars.The vehicles are filled to the brim with people. Trucks have as many as 10-12 in the back of the pick up . At night it is difficult to see people on the road. The majority of driver have provisional or learners on their windows............
