<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Primary School gave us a great send-off. First they asked us to speak at the Friday, devotional. It ended up being a stormy day, with wind and buckets of rain. One thing you may not know about Fiji, is when it rains, people stay home from school and church. So the school attendance was about 1/4 of the enrollment. There would normally be about 400 students in attendance and that day there was about 100.</div>

Our sweet granddaughter, Rylin had a school project. She made a "flat" mailable person of herself and mailed her to Fiji to spend a few weeks with us. Flat Rylin then flew home with us and Rylin wrote a report about Flat Rylin's adventures in Fiji. We had a blast showing Flat Rylin around Fiji. </div>

These pictures here are actually from the week before the start of school. This was the teachers first day back and Brother Solomone, the principal, is sharing the testing scores from the previous year. The scores were better than they were last year, so we were all happy about that. But since the scores were not good last year - well let's just say there is still room for improvement. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Christmas turned out to be quite different than was planned. The schools are out for summer break and so we were going to take the holiday to go to a resort with 2 other missionary couples. But alas, we ended up at the hospital on Christmas Eve. It all started with what we thought was the flu. By the next day Mike was in a lot of pain and by that evening he was really hurting. They did an x-ray and he had 2 kidney stones. So we were home and house bound for 4 days. But we took that time to remember the birth of the Savior and all the blessings we have. We are thankful for the opportunity we have to serve a mission and the love and support we feel from our family and friends. We are grateful that the kidney stones passed and we have been very healthy (overall) on our mission. That was our first trip to the doctor and the first time Mike has been sick since we arrived in Fiji. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Everyone was asked to dress up in clothing of that time period.

We were greeted warmly by the family and Sister Magoon had cooked some yummy scones. We asked her for the recipe and she said it was flour, baking powder, and fresh coconut milk. They have no electricity here. They have a detached toilet room (but it flushes!)<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Suva 1st Ward (Our ward is small, but you can't see all the people in this picture.)</div><div style="text-align: center;">Our ward had said to wear blue or yellow, but some didn't get the message I guess. </div><div style="text-align: center;">It was a nice afternoon of singing and fun. The Fijians love to sing. Everyone sings loudly and with emotion. It is a lot of fun to hear and watch them sing.</div><div align="center"><iframe width="420" height="315" src="<a href="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GdemOeaDPKM?rel=0">http://www.youtube.com/embed/GdemOeaDPKM?rel=0</a>" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Diwali is probably the biggest holiday they celebrate in Fiji (in the Suva area anyway). It is actually a Hindu celebration, but all the Indians celebrate Diwali even if they are not Hindu. The Fijians also join in the fun of the good food, dressing in Indian clothing, pretty lights, and fireworks. The Indians decorate the outside of their homes with lights, like we do at Christmas. It's really pretty and many people go all out with their lights as you can see from the picture.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Our Diwali was very different from last year. Bishop Nathan and his sweet wife, who both teach at the Primary School, invited us to their home. Sister Nathan is so sweet and also very funny. I just love her. She had been cooking long hours for about 3 days to put on a wonderful Indian feast. When we arrived we were given some "sweets" as they called them. There were about 6 different types of candies. When it got dark we went outside and watched fireworks. When we came back in, Sister Nathan had the table all set for dinner for us.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It was 2 days of learning and eating and diversion. The first day we went to the temple together and then went back to the school where we had a nice breakfast. (One of the teachers' husband said breakfast was the best part of the day. Better than bread and Milo anyway) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Mike gave one of the talks on appreciation for and the importance of supporting your spouse. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(Since I retired before Cherie, I have been a great wife to my wife, cleaning, cooking, doing laundry, and I get little appreciation! Just kidding) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I organized a getting to know you activity; "choose between two options" </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Example: Do you like sweet snacks or salty snacks, (or as Mike said "diabetes or arteriosclerosis") </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The second day we went to a resort called The Pearl which is about 45 min. from Suva. We had some learning activities, another nice lunch, and then some free time.. Most of the teachers played volleyball. That is a big thing here in Fiji. (Not as big as rugby however). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Last month we met at the Mission Home and had a delicious dinner and speaker. The speaker was President Kalougata and he had an amazing story that he shared with us.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Joeli is a very humble man who has had a lot of tragedy in his life, but he has been able to overcome his tribulations through faith in the Savior, Jesus Christ, and the hope of someday finding the truth. What an amazing man. We felt very priviledged to be able to hear his story and meet Joeli and his wife, Elenoa.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> His story was printed in the 2004 Ensign and Liahona. If you want to read the full story follow the link below.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Otherwise we will share some of the highlights. Although his father was raised a Methodist, he did not raise his children Methodist because he knew it did not conform to Biblical teachings. His cousin had been in Hawaii and joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When his cousin told Joeli's father about his new church the Holy Ghost witnessed to him that it was the true church. There were no missionaries or branches of the church where they lived on a small island in the Lao group, so his father wrote the Mission President in Suva and the Mission President sent him a Book of Mormon and some other information. The family saved and planned for 2 years to make the boat trip to Suva to be baptized. Finally, in December of 1973, Joeli, his younger brother and sister, and his parents got on boat for the journey to Suva. 2 older sisters and 1 brother already lived on the big island of Viti Levu. A few hours into the trip a small storm turned into a cyclone. The boat took on too much water and sank. Joeli was able to hold onto a floating bag of coconuts but his father, mother, and siblings all drowned. Out of 120 passengers, 35 survived and were rescued after 2 days and 3 nights of floating in the ocean. Joeli, who was 12 years old, went to live with his older sister and in all of the chaos of the tragedy, the mission president could not find him. In 1985 after 12 years of searching, the missionaries located Joeli and he was baptized a member of the Church. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_c6uneduUSoGWk5vcgsRx2EQT5mbdb4UQBUllnFL2Me_HyZX2Ajcz78B2l7i1_zyjgTvRyyL0zEg7UllrkpvCNDHTGEQCLQLlk68Vuw54gNSOZJVXnf3PfLZqUkyMt20JdBPzl3saRELL/s1600/IMG_1309.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_c6uneduUSoGWk5vcgsRx2EQT5mbdb4UQBUllnFL2Me_HyZX2Ajcz78B2l7i1_zyjgTvRyyL0zEg7UllrkpvCNDHTGEQCLQLlk68Vuw54gNSOZJVXnf3PfLZqUkyMt20JdBPzl3saRELL/s320/IMG_1309.JPG" width="320" xaa="true" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Joeli Kalougata and his wife Elenoa</div><hr /><br />

A few weeks ago there was a large group from Vanuatu, a group from Kiribiti, and some Tongan missionaries who were in Suva to get their visas to come to the U.S.. Most of the islanders have to come to Suva to get a U.S. Visa because Fiji has the only U.S. Embassy in this part of the South Pacific. That Saturday the Temple did a record number of ordinances. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Usually they will have a Family Home Evening (FHE) with the group and invite all the senior missionaries to join them A few weeks ago we had a lovely FHE with them. The people are so humble and kind. They just love everyone. It is just a priviledge and a blessing just to be with these good people. The group from Vanuatu prepared a nice lesson, and then the saints from Kiribati sang a few songs for us and the Tongan missionaries also sang a song. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The students at the church schools are just such a great group of kids. We were in a meeting with the teachers and Vice Principal at the middle school and it ran overtime. The bell rang and the students began to file into the classrooms. A few minutes later, we heard beautiful singing coming from one of the other rooms. The students went into the room and began singing primary songs until the teachers finished their meeting. Their singing brought tears to my eyes as I listened to them and thought about what most students would do in that same situtation. What a blessing it is to serve here in the church schools. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
