Our hearts seem especially knit to this land and its warm, welcoming, and fun-loving people.

We look forward to a better year, better health for our country, better love between people, better economics, and better attendance to the most important things -- family and fellow beings. As one church leader has said: "We can have hope, we should have hope . . . Among our most indispensable virtues will be this precious gift of hope linked inextricably to our faith in God and our charity to others." Indeed, we can have a "perfect brightness of hope" in whom we celebrate this season </span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(<i>Book of Mormon</i>, 2 Nephi 31:20<i>)</i></span><span style="font-size: medium;"> .</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

the tumultuous days we live in, how grateful we are for the respite Christmas
provides.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A time to set aside, if ever
so briefly, things that are of transient concern, in favor of things that matter
eternally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We love the Savior and this special
time of year to remember the unmatchable gift of the Son of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And we’ve never seen a more touching
rendition of the Christmas story than the new nativity film released this year

of the things this family loves, rock climbing, hiking, Spikeball, swimming, paddle
boards and kayaks galore, tie-dying, frisbee, and every possible iteration of the things you can do
behind a ski boat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At night we laughed,
played, danced, gamed, and hot tubbed our way into family bliss and exhausted

much of our time is happily taken up with family, we also have loved getting
away for snow skiing, paddleboard and kayaking, camping, crabbing, and lots of work around the house and grounds.

remodeled our kitchen this year, doing the work ourselves (except for
countertops).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Among our new joys, is our
electric bikes that have freed us up to tackle about any terrain as we explore

<span style="font-family: "monotype corsiva"; font-size: 16.0pt;">In Isaiah’s beautiful prophecy of the
coming Messiah, he wrote: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The Prince
of Peace.” Perhaps we’ve both needed and experienced all those roles this year,
as we travelled the road of life in both sorrow and joy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

we joined other Howe family members from across the country and many friends
from the area at her home on the Olympic Peninsula to celebrate her life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a bittersweet time for all of us as we
gathered and shared memories.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Beverly </span>spent
a lifetime making the world a more beautiful place and blessing others with her
genuine interest, engaging personality, and meaningful service. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we noted on her memorial program, “Her life
was blessed with family and friends whom she thought of often and tended to
regularly.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> We appreciated her sunny optimism and so our family commemorated that with the song: "Keep On The Sunnyside of Life." </span>We’ll miss our shared times
at their beautiful home on Discovery Bay.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "monotype corsiva"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">In October, we moved Tom’s mother from her SLC home to an assisted living facility here in
Corvallis, Oregon.</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">She turned 92 this
month and it’s so nice to have her close by. She's a spunky lady that keeps you on your toes with enthusiasm and fun. For her 92nd BD party, she took Seth & Caroline's family with us to ride the unique carousel in Albany, Oregon (with all figures hand carved by local artists), and then out to dinner ~ a great party!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "designer notes"; font-size: 14pt;">We
found a quote recently that captures much of what seems important to us: “Fill
your minds with truth, your hearts with love, and your lives with
service.”</span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "designer notes"; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "designer notes"; font-size: 14pt;">Chief among truths we treasure
is the living reality of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world ~ and as the
saying goes ~ “the reason for the season.” We contemplate the grace of our
Heavenly parents as they sent their beloved son to earth that “whoso believeth
in Him might have eternal life.”</span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "designer notes"; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "designer notes"; font-size: 14pt;">We’re
grateful to share with you the light He brought, and the joy we feel in His
love.</span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "designer notes"; font-size: 14pt;">The
wedding made a family reunion possible for the second time this year, as we
began earlier in May with a family reunion in Cascade, Idaho where</span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "designer notes"; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "designer notes"; font-size: 14pt;">34 of our 35 family members gathered

again in November, 29 of us were able to gather in Corvallis for a Thanksgiving
celebration.</span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "designer notes"; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "designer notes"; font-size: 14pt;">We had such a good time

<span style="font-family: "designer notes"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="color: #38761d;">In
August, we travelled to New Hampshire to stay at the family cabin on
Squam Lake where Rockywold/Deephaven family camps are located (started by
Annie’s 2<sup>nd</sup> great grandmother in 1897).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We joined Laura’s family there for a few days
and also had Annie’s 92 year-old mother, Beverly Howe, with us as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After they all left, we stayed on and
traveled to Prince Edward Island where Tom’s family of origin has lived since
the 1840’s when they emigrated to escape Ireland’s potato famine ~ they are
still potato farmers!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We loved our time
on that beautiful Island of “green gables” and rolling hills covered with lush
farms and red cliffs tumbling into the blue ocean.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Health and temporal welfare are fickle, particularly as the years move along. But the light and constancy of friends and family make these years
especially meaningful.</span><span style="color: green; font-family: "st. nicholas"; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="color: green; font-family: "st. nicholas"; font-size: 14pt;">Add to that the
richness of the love we feel from God, our Heavenly Father, His Beloved Son,
Jesus, and the gospel they bless us with, helps us to savor the temporal, and cherish
the eternal.</span><span style="color: green; font-family: "st. nicholas"; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="color: green; font-family: "st. nicholas"; font-size: 14pt;">Among the latter, is the
hope of continued friendship and love with each of you that grows more
meaningful as the years pass.</span><span style="color: green; font-family: "st. nicholas"; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><br />

more than just brain health, and it seems that they might be apt backdrop for
this letter and its many photos:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

came in June & July when we travelled to England and Scotland.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though we’ve had a long-standing interest in
the UK, watching the PBS series, </span><span style="color: green; font-family: "st. nicholas"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Monarch</span><span style="color: green; font-family: "st. nicholas"; font-size: 14.0pt;"> of the Glen</span><span style="color: green; font-family: "st. nicholas"; font-size: 14.0pt;">”</span><span style="color: green; font-family: "st. nicholas"; font-size: 14.0pt;"> especially enamored us with Scotland.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And by the way, we just happened to trek on

many of you who might be retired, we’re not sure whether to laugh, punch them
in the nose, or just give a knowing patient smile when someone asks: “So now
that you’re retired, what keeps you busy?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We’ve never been busier or happier to start our days early with a good
study of the gospel of Jesus Christ, do Pilates and take a walk together, get
ready for the day and then launch into any one of the plethora of projects that
keep us so busy we wonder how any more could be fit into any given day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are always people to serve, kids to
visit, grandkids to play with, church service (Annie works with high school
girls 16-18; Tom teaches Sunday School), community service, sewing and
woodworking projects, home improvement, gardening – and gratefully, some days
to camp, head to the fishin’ hole, or to play golf.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

assistants and took over 300 youth and adults into the Mt. Washington, Oregon
wilderness for 4 days in July to pull handcarts and learn anew what drove so
many LDS pioneers to sacrifice everything to preserve and establish their faith
during the 1850’s and how we might do the same today.</span><span style="color: #c0504d; font-family: 'Santa\'sSleighFull'; font-size: 16pt;"> </span><span style="color: #c0504d; font-family: 'Santa\'sSleighFull'; font-size: 16pt;">We were especially grateful to share this
experience with Seth and Caroline who acted as a “Ma and Pa” over one of the 25
“families” of about 8-9 youth each (ages 12-18).</span><span style="color: #c0504d; font-family: 'Santa\'sSleighFull'; font-size: 16pt;"> </span><span style="color: #c0504d; font-family: 'Santa\'sSleighFull'; font-size: 16pt;">With everyone dressed in pioneer clothes, we
made quite a sight trekking through some of the most beautiful country on
earth.</span><br />

lots of time throughout the year visiting and being visited by our 7 children
and now, 19 grandchildren (Emily had a baby boy, Truman, in September). It was
an amazing experience to visit Laura and Jared in Elko, Nevada and have Jared
give us a tour of the mining site where he works (in Industrial Safety), with its expansive excavation of minerals and
ginormous vehicles.</span></div>

from Leah & Geoff and their kids, along with Emily and Ryan and Seth &
Caroline’s families. We carried on Annie's family tradition of making apple cider and
ended with about 13 gallons of the most delicious drink in the world. Everyone took their share home and we’ll be
remembering each other through the year as each gallon is thawed & enjoyed.</span><!--EndFragment--><br />

Unfortunately over the years I have not kept up communicating with those special people and finding them became nearly impossible.<br />
<br />
One sweet exception was our meeting with Sister Saeko Harada<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

In 1970, Saeko Harada was 18 years old joining other girlfriends for a trip to the Osaka World's Fair. Though they were Buddhist, the group decided to tour the "Mormon Pavillion" and as they exited, they signed the guest register. Not long after, Saeko's name and contact information was forwarded to my companion and I who were working in her home town of Himeji (about 45 minutes south of Osaka). We found our way to her home to visit but she was gone. Her parents told her of our visit and she was sure we would not return -- but we did, and soon began teaching her. In time, she felt the things we taught were true and wanted to be baptized but was not quite ready before I left Japan to return home. However, soon afterward the missionaries did baptize her and she began her saga of membership in Japan -- a very tricky place to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.<br />

In time, work commitments and caring for her aged and ill parents kept her away from church and eventually she quit going altogether. Fortunately for us, after all these years she still lived in the same home and had the same phone number. With the help of Bishop Ikegami and his wife, Yoko, we were able to meet her in her lovely home.<br />

The meeting was extraordinary. She had become ill and relatively confined and lonely. We spoke of our feelings all those years ago, what had happened since and assured her of our love and God's love for her, we also gave her a blessing. At one moment, she broke down in tears and said: "Now I know God remembers me." Our visit made the whole trip to Japan more than worth it.<br />
<br />
Of course, you can't go to Himeji without visiting the largest and most famed castle in all of Japan. Just beautiful:<br />

Inside the castle, we visited the "ladies quarters", a wing of the castle well protected and with numerous holes in the wall from which the warriors could shoot arrows -- in fact, you can see those holes along the lower wall in the picture just above.<br />

Before we left Himeji, Bishop Ikegami and his wife took us out to the fanciest restaurant we've ever been in. You checked your shoes into a private box with wooden key as you entered, then sat down to a cover price event of eating all you want of every imaginable fancy Japanese food -- much of which I never encountered before. After paying, you have 2 hours to eat all you can and then must exit. Judging by the number of bowls you see here, we enjoyed a lot!<br />

The next morning Bishop Ikegami took us to a lovely mountain top set of Buddhist and Shinto shrines (often mixed in the same location). This is where some of "The Last Samurai" movie was filmed and while we walked along a quiet path, Bishop Ikegami wistfully commented that "Movie stars walked this path". His wife wanted to be clear, not just any movie star, but Tom Cruise!<br />

In Kobe, we visited the mission home which has been rebuilt and replaced the one of my days. The senior couples working in the office were loving their time back in Japan. <br />
<br />
Luke and I scored on the Hotel Okura in a last minute online deal. Not sure what the normal charge is but likely in the many hundreds of dollars per night but we got it for about $100. Our view of Kobe harbor from the 12th floor was stunning.<br />

In the morning, it was off to see the tragic reminder of humanity at its worst - war. How do people ever reconcile their histories when we've done such awful things to each other? Memorial to tragedy is the famous Hewa Koen ("Peace Park) in the heart of Hiroshima near the epicenter of the A bomb blast.<br />

But the highlight in Kyoto may just have been this fabulous dinner of "Okonomiyaki" - Kyoto style.

On my return from the Japan-Okinawa mission in 1971, I had a brief stop over in Tokyo. Didn’t see much of it then but since coming to Tokyo last week to join Luke for 10 days he has arranged for us to see much of this massive and sprawling town of 12 million. The sights and sounds of a place I loved so much in my missionary years has been a welcomed renewal.<img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oVJ7ewKdXBw/VD0X7V9aOcI/AAAAAAAAAJk/hLOphtKiqA0/s640/IMG_1973.JPG" /><br />

On the first full day here, we had the sheer delight of visiting a Japanese missionary with whom I served in Hiroshima when first arriving in Japan – Yosohachi Honda. Fortunately, he married one of the strongest converts I ever met – Sister Ito. They have since had 6 children (a very large family in Japan), and we spent a wonderful evening together. Sister Honda (Ito) made a delicious meal and we remembered our years together with great fondness.

We also attended church at the Tokyo ward where the complex takes in the temple, Presiding Bishopric and Area Presidency offices. We had dinner with several of the senior couples who serve in the area and noted again how many senior couples are blessing the church around the world.<br />
<br />
Luke and I also took time to be tourists, going to shrines and the “old city”. Luckily at one shrine we encountered a Shinto wedding ceremony.<br />

Now we are on the “bullet train” headed south to places I served while a missionary: Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, Himeji, Hiroshima, and perhaps the island of Kyushu. The bullet train, is also called “Hikari” – both indicating traveling at the speed of a bullet, or speed of light. It does move right along at up to 190mph, and is a great way to see Japan -- quickly! I'll close the day with a few more shots from Nihon to each of you -- all my love, Tom/Dad<br />

<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I prepared for my talk today in the old-fashioned way – with
paper and pen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being frugal, I pulled
out an old spiral notebook – a cast off from Seth’s middle school days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I looked through for some blank pages, I
came across the talk I shared with 3<sup>rd</sup> ward some 18 months ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Recognizing that you may not remember all
that I said at that time, I wanted to include a bit of it today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am amazed at how accurate I was then as to
what our mission to Fiji would include:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Hopefully there will be
opportunities in Fiji to assist our brothers and sisters there, in realizing
the fullness of the blessings available through the Gospel of Jesus Christ . .
. I foresee us having opportunities to share heartfelt concerns with humble
families and individuals who are seeking a better understanding of life’s
purposes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They will love the Lord and
will want to more fully understand His teachings as restored through our
Prophet Joseph Smith, and continue to be taught by our modern day
prophets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we can extend and multiply
the kind of relationship and experience we have had with the Bohan family s
they have come sincerely seeking eternal truths, then we may not want to come
home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps we will be asked to assist
newly called branch or ward leaders who are young in the Gospel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a lay church, we ask so much of
members.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Isolated off on some little
island, maybe we can lend some support.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hopefully
some things we have experienced along the way here will help someone
there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hope we will be able to be instruments
in the Lord’s hands to help fill whatever needs we can.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We arrived
in Fiji with a desire to serve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just how
we would fulfill that desire unfolded each day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Our mission president gave us some guidelines and then left the rest up
to us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In our quest to be the Lord’s
hands to these oh-so-humble people, our lives were blessed as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As most of you know already, as we give
service we are in turn strengthened and our conversion to gospel principles
grows.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was true for me!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Before we
had even left the United States we had a wonderful tender mercy from the Lord
in the SLC airport.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">We had several hours to wander and take
in the fact that we would be leaving our home, family and country for 18
months. We were emotional and unsettled with the
unknown. As we were finding our way to our gate, we noticed a woman
walking close by who also wore a missionary name tag. We were drawn
to her and asked where she might be going. She explained that she
and her husband were serving as mission president and that she had traveled
with a sick sister to return her back to her family so she could
heal. As a professional nurse she was just the right person to
comfort this ailing sister and for us she was just the right person to comfort
our worried hearts. She hugged us and reassured us that she
understood our fears but that Heavenly Father would watch over all. We shed a
few tears that came easily and know that it was a tender mercy for us.</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">This was such a special, personal reassurance from Heavenly Father.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We knew the He knew we needed a hug – not
just a physical hug, but a spiritual one that said; “I know you and love
you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will be at your side.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were leaving behind our family and
friends, but we were not forgotten.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
reminds me of Elder Bednar’s insightful address on “tender mercies”:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> “The Lord’s tender mercies are the very personal
and individualized blessings, strength, protection, assurances, guidance,
loving kindnesses, consolation, support, and spiritual gifts which we receive
from, and because of, and through the Lord Jesus Christ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Truly, the Lord suits his mercies according
to the conditions of the children of men. We should not underestimate or
overlook the power of the Lord’s tender mercies.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></i><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Throughout our mission, we could see the Lord’s
hand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We would find people with
directions that included things like: “Go towards the hill until you see a
mango tree.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Turn until you get to the
coconut palm on the inside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Turn past
the cane field road and then in the village ask for her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What is the name of the person you’re looking
for?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ulamila Bainivalu, we replied. “Oh
yea, everyone will know her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just ask
someone in the village.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we sought to
find the lost sheep, God guided us to them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>One of the amazing tender mercies we
would experience regularly was just running into individuals we needed to
see.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They would just “happen to be”
where we would be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While we had our 5
short days of preparation in the MTC, one of the promises we were given was
that the Lord was preparing those who we would teach even before we
arrived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For us, this was realized on
our first day in Ba.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>[relay the story of
Tuliana]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>These tender mercies were surely an
ongoing blessing then, and remain in place for us all at any time in our
life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Acknowledging and thanking
Heavenly Father is important as we grow in appreciation for the way He
personally blesses us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>As we went about getting acquainted
with the members in Fiji, we would go to their homes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Usually, that would include sitting together
on a hand-woven mat on the floor, singing some hymns, and having a prayer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We would try to learn their names and figure
out who was in the immediate family, who was extended family, and who was a
neighbor who just happened to be there to join in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we talked and listened, we became aware of
struggles and trials they were dealing with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>One or the other of us would often feel prompted to ask if they would
like a priesthood blessing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That opened
many special opportunities to extend Heavenly Father’s hand to those humble and
faith-filled people, as well as a personal way to see faith and priesthood
power bring about miracles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>One Sunday night, when our daughter
Sara and husband Birch were visiting us, we stepped into a humble home, with
low ceilings and a dirt floor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A kerosene
lamp was burning and the family was sitting around talking. We sang some hymns
and visited with the family when we found that 15 year-old Miriama had a very
bad foot infection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Birch dressed her
wounds and he and Tom gave her a blessing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Her mother wept and the visit contributed to their eventual interest in
learning more of the Church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By the time
we left Fiji, all were members.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Later, we would help Miriama’s
grandmother also become active again and prepare to go to the temple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sister Mate was a special person and we felt
we were on holy ground when we visited her little tin shack where she helped us
teach Miriama the lessons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Other tender mercies included
helping Temesi Naio; and most personally, the blessings we experienced when our
son Seth and his wife Caroline and family were in their terrible auto accident
in Africa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>[share stories]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Challenges of living in Fiji tested
us to the max.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is so hot and humid,
there are bugs and geckos and mice and rates and they feel as welcome inside as
out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>True, it is a tropical paradise but
it was no vacation!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our commitment to
honor the covenants we have made in the temple were put to the test.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Would we be willing to give our all to the
building of His Kingdom?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In the process, I need to be honest
that we were not free from some murmuring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Efficiency and effectiveness are pretty much non-existent in the Fijian
culture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The absence of working phones,
clocks and calendars, etc. make for big challenges as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Resetting our expectations of what, how, and
when we could accomplish tasks and training had to be much reduced.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We wish there might have been more measurable progress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But the lasting
gift of grace that came as we sought to extend the Lord’s hand to these sweet
people was felt and appreciated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Especially
as we helped them prepare to go to the temple so that they too could make
sacred covenants with the Lord.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Within a
congregation, there are few who will seek these blessings so it definitely was
a privilege to be a part of it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>On our last day in Fiji, we were
able to return to our first area of service and say goodbye to our first Fijian
friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were happy to be able to
give away much of what we had brought (clothing, shoes, tools, etc.).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the dear, dear families we had been to
the temple with and who we had become particularly close to, responded after
giving them some things: “If you had never given us anything, you have given us
the best gift we could have” [by helping them become active, receive the
priesthood, and be sealed in the temple].<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After all is said and done, we leave dear friends who know we love them
and care about them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>As I reflect on some of these
blessings that have been in greater focus since our time in Fiji, I am most
grateful for the conviction I have of Heavenly Father’s love for all His
children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has a perfect plan of
happiness that is extended to all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His
mercy reaches out to those in distant island lands, as well as developed and
privileged continents.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All will be made
right.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>It was a privilege to serve along
side my dear husband.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were pretty
much "it" when it came to local support and I could not have made it without
him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Serving, surviving, and sacrificing
together has strengthened us even more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Thank you, thank you for embracing
our family during some real difficult times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As we represented the Lord, we also felt like you were on our side.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know the true gospel has been restored to
the earth by the prophet Joseph Smith, and that Jesus Christ is our Savior.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">1) So good to be home, thanks
for all your support – mission & home<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">2) Nearly two years ago, in May
of 2011, Annie and I opened a large white envelope and read a letter over the
signature of the Prophet: “You are hereby called to serve as a missionary of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are assigned to labor in the Fiji Suva
Mission . . . Your purpose will be to invite others to come unto Christ by
helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His
Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and
enduring to the end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As you serve with
all your heart, might, and strength, the Lord will lead you to those who are
prepared to be baptized.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Lord will
reward you for the goodness of your life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Greater blessings and more happiness than you have yet experienced await
you as you humbly and prayerfully serve the Lord in this labor of love among
His children.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>There is nothing quite like receiving such a letter, it
changes you forever and soon you walk among those who wear the black badge –
who dedicate all their time, energy, and resources to magnify their callings
and work full-time in the service of their fellow beings in some divinely
chosen spot of the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ours was on a
little set of islands among a beautiful brown skinned and smiley people whom we
came to love with such emotion that we are scarcely able to speak of them
without tears.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Here’s a passages that
describes something of our experience and which has become fondly embedded in
our minds and hearts:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">“And they fasted much and prayed much that the Lord
would grant unto them a portion of his Spirit to go with them, and abide with
them, that they might be an instrument in the hands of God to bring, if it were
possible, their brethren, the [Fijians] to the knowledge of the truth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the Lord did visit them with his Spirit,
and said unto them: Be comforted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
they were comforted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the Lord said
unto them also; Go forth among the [Fijians], thy brethren, and establish my
word; yet ye shall be patient in long suffering and afflictions, that ye may
show forth good examples unto them in me, and I will make an instrument of thee
in my hands unto the salvation of many souls.” </span></i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">(Alma17:9-11)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 14.0pt;">We
study our scriptures and see that we must<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">
"becometh a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love,
willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon [us],
even as a child doth submit to his father" (Mosiah 3:19); </i>and we think
we are just beginning to understand what that might really mean.</span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Then
we go to some little home, so barren of any possession that it is startling,
and we have the sweetest sharing time. We hear an old woman, Sister Mate,
telling how she was inspired by a scripture to pray that she might just make a
dollar or two that day at the market so she could afford to go to church - and
the Lord answered her prayer. We hear the Nairoqo family telling us that
we were their "saviors," and we get a tearful kiss and grateful smile
from a little old Indian woman who speaks no English - simply because we
visited her and brought a pair of reading glasses from the dollar store (thanks
Sara & Birch). We share a lesson on the plan of salvation with a 58
year-old man who lost his wife last year and he says, "I have never heard
of these things before, but they sit right with me." And we wonder how we
could be so ungrateful as to [have felt at times that our mission was] largely
a waste of time.” (Journal Entry – 9)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Elder </span><a href="http://www.lds.org/church/leader/dallin-h-oaks?lang=eng"><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 14.0pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Dallin H. Oaks</span></a><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> taught,
“Our needed conversions are often achieved more readily by suffering and
adversity than by comfort and tranquility . . . Father Lehi promised his son
Jacob that God would ‘consecrate [his] afflictions for [his] gain’ (2 Nephi
2:2).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the Prophet Joseph was
promised that, “thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small
moment; and then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on High”
(D&C 121:7-8). </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">We came home with a big
mixture of feelings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a hard
mission, a wonderful mission, and a refining and eye-opening mission.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had moments of such difficulty and
discouragement that we wondered if we could go on, but we also had moments of
such deep and indescribable joy that we hope to never forget.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our testimonies have grown and our dependence
on, and love for the Lord have certainly become deeper.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We heard one missionary share his testimony
upon departure, using an allusion to the Lord taking Peter, James, and John “a
little further” into the garden of Gethsemane from the other 8 apostles so they
could “watch” with Jesus as he suffered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The missionary said that he felt his mission had taken him “a little
further into the Garden.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I loved that thought
and feel just the same.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The following weekend, we gave a more thorough account of our mission to the Corvallis community in an informal "fireside" presentation. That pretty much tidied up our mission experience as we settled back into family and community ~ forever grateful.<br />

Perhaps we will close with the sentiment of other "returning missionaries" in the Book of Mormon, as they recalled the blessings of their difficult but oh so important mission: <i>"Therefore, let us glory, yea, we will glory in the Lord; yea, we will rejoice for our joy is full; yea, we will praise God forever. Behold, who can glory too much in the Lord? Yea, who can say too much of his great power, and of his mercy, and of his long-suffering towards the children of men? </i><b><i>Behold, [we] say unto you, [we] cannot say the smallest part which [we] feel"</i> </b><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(Alma 26:16)</span>.</div>

When we finally arrived home from Fiji, and traveling to visit our children, President Craig Cole (Corvallis Stake President) formally released us from our mission service. He also presented us with a letter from our mission president, Kenneth Klingler, along with certificates in English and Fijian.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We arrived in Salt Lake City at 9pm on March 23<sup>rd</sup>
and made our way from the terminal to the baggage claim area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we came down the escalator we heard a
shout and looked out at a happy gathering of my Mom and Rudy, Leah, Matt and
Jessica, Laura, and Luke all holding a big banner: “Bula Home.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We could barely wait to get to the bottom of
the escalator before running into their arms and feeling the joy of being home
with family – we made it, we did it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is
not that a perfect forecasting of what it will be like to return home to our
Heavenly parents, Savior, and family?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
think so.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After hugs and tears, laughter and chatting, we gathered our
things and parted paths.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We went off to
Laura’s home to begin our days visiting each family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The next day was especially wonderful as we
went to Church with all of the Watts family, Matt and Leah’s families, my Mom
and Rudy, and Luke along with a few other invited friends to bless Sawyer Lee
Watts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were delighted to find Philip
and Debe Barlow among those who had been invited, and to renew friendship with
these dear friends from the past who now live in Logan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After sacrament meeting we went back to
Laura’s to visit and feast on wonderful salads and soups.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a great day.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On Monday, we went to our first stores --- SHOCK!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We determined that it may not be an
exaggeration to say that there is more merchandise in one Walmart store in
America than there is in all stores combined in the country of Fiji
(particularly if you exclude Suva).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
are just aghast at the luxury, availability, and over-the-top worldliness that
abounds here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It makes us uncomfortable.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We enjoyed our days with Laura, then went to Matt’s for a
couple days (including a surprise BD party for Matt), then down to Leah’s and
now back to Matt’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have enjoyed each
day though living out of a suitcase and adjusting to the time differences have
been difficult.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yesterday was the
beginning of General Conference and it has been wonderful to see the sessions
and last night go to the Conference Center for Priesthood with Matt and
Luke.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Afterwards, Annie joined us for
dinner at an Asian restaurant and a good visit together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was just amazing to be at the conference
session.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Such a blessing and my heart
was drawn out to our friends in Fiji who may not ever actually see this
conference, or much of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They will
never see the strength of 21,000 members gathered in one place, who can
actually see the Prophet and apostles and other General Authorities in
person.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh how much they need that
strength so much more than all of us here who have it so readily available
every six months!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I longed for their
blessing all during the conference session and thought of their privation in so
many ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God bless our dear friends in
Fiji!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today is Sunday and we will watch the morning session at
Matt’s house with Laura and family joining us, then a quick lunch and we’ll be
off on our drive towards Spokane to be with Emily for a few days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will stay in Missoula overnight and then
arrive Monday about noon in Spokane.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This morning holds a special time for us as we prepare to
give Matt a blessing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His transplanted
kidney seems to be showing initial signs of potentially ending its functional
life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The very drugs a person takes to
prevent the rejection of a transplanted organ also are toxic to that organ and
have the potential of eventually killing it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We don’t know, but such a scenario may be in the works and Matt’s doctor
is concerned enough to have raised the possibility.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As of today, Matt is keeping this private
until further evidence confirms or refutes this concern but we are preparing to
give him a blessing today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have prayed
fervently that I may be guided by the Spirit to speak the will of the Lord and
not have my fatherly love dictate the desire to have Matt healed over the plans
of the Lord if that is not to be so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Blessings are always like that, the struggle to be open and receptive,
to be bold in the power of the priesthood without being driven by self
will.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a tricky balance, but what a
privilege to hold the priesthood and be worthy to administer the ordinances
enabled by it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Post-note: Matt’s close friend, Gary Stapely, and I did give
Matt a blessing and a<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">t this point in time (2018) we are so grateful that Matt has been blessed with his kidneys continuing to function well. </span>We later left and had
pleasant days in Spokane and Yakima.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
arrived home in Corvallis on April 17<sup>th</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The years have flown by, and my – how happy
we are to be home!<o:p></o:p></div>

We’re on a plane from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City and are
to arrive at 9pm on this Saturday night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Surreal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>24 hours ago, on our way
from Ba to the airport in Nadi, we walked out of a little village home where we
stopped to say goodbye to our dear friend and convert, 16 year-old Ana
(baptized in Taveuni but now living in Lautoka).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was raining and we barely got through the
muddy little road to her home, so much so that we decided to walk in barefoot
rather than, get our sandals wet and muddy for the trip home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A happy smile, a tearful goodbye, and we were
off – perhaps never to see her again or return to Fiji.<br />

We had flown on Wednesday from Taveuni to Suva.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There we stayed with President and Sister
Klingler for the night and then one day in Suva to do some errands and have
dinner with them and some other couples.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We shared our testimonies, as did they, and then went to bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We arose Friday morning and zipped off to the
airport for a short flight to Nadi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There we had the joyous reunion with Jared Clavin, our son Matt’s best
friend, and he joined us for the day as we drove to Ba and visited dear friends
there (Jared had come to Fiji with his company on business/pleasure).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In some ways it was wonderful, as we visited
Sister Matte, Ulamila, Miriama, the Nairoqos, Tuli and Olivia, the Ratu family,
and the Tabualevu and Luveitasau families. Here's some shots of our final reunions in Ba:<br />

By the end, we were more than ready to go home as the feeling of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“attachment and obligation” to Fiji was
fleeting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We noticed how tired we were
of the heat, humidity, dirt, and sounds of Ba (Hindi music, chanting, barking
dogs,etc.).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We longed for home.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After visiting Ana on the way from Ba to Nadi, we boarded a
10pm flight to LA and arrived safely 9 hours before we left!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had a long layover during which we washed and
rested up and had a nice meal of really delicious salad and a hearty soup.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the washroom I noticed some mud between my
toes and in my toenails and realized it had come from Ana’s home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now we were in LA with asphalt and cement and
cars and modernity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One day earlier, we
had been walking barefoot in a poor little village where Ana’s auntie was
cooking over an open fire and part of their roof had blown off in the recent
cyclone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t know whether we’ll
undergo some version of re-entry culture shock, but the differences are stark
and difficult to even imagine – we have lived in a different world, an old
world of simplicity and lack of modern development for the last 18 months
(particularly in Taveuni).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
In an hour, we will arrive in SLC to some sort of welcome
that we imagine will include some portion of Leah, Matt, and Laura’s families
and perhaps Luke.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will then stay a
few days at each of their homes, be in SLC for the General Conference, and
afterward head to Washington to see Emily and Sara and families before getting
back to Corvallis on April 17<sup>th</sup>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What can I say to sum this all up?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We go home with a big mixture of feelings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a hard mission, a wonderful mission, a
refining and eye-opening mission.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had
moments of such deep and indescribable joy that we hope to never forget.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our testimonies have grown and our dependence
on, and love for the Lord have certainly become deeper.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We heard one missionary share his testimony
upon departure, using an allusion to the Lord taking Peter, James, and John “a
little further” into the garden of Gethsemane from the other 8 apostles so they
could “watch” with Jesus as he suffered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The missionary said that he felt his mission had taken him “a little
further into the Garden.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I loved that sentiment
and feel just the same.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our experience has sharpened awareness of poverty and all
the scriptures that so repeatedly speak of the poor, the lost, the downtrodden
and other's obligations towards them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
has been striking to see how insistent the Lord is on true disciples becoming
more aware of, and more helpful to the poor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s a very tricky topic in some ways, and yet in others it is simple:
those who have must share, and that includes our time and emotion and empathy
and money.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The poor are, in Jesus’
words: “always with us.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So why is this
so tricky?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because you really have to
confront the fact that it is nice to help the poor and the socially outcast –
but from an arms length.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, the
poor, and infirmed, and mentally ill, and emotionally broken need more than
money – they need us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And do I really
want to give more of me?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s the
struggle and I feel somewhat as the scripture states; “the spirit is willing
but the flesh is weak.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As is the case with all spiritual things, the biggest
struggle is not getting spiritual experiences, it is in deciding to give up the
things that preclude them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One retiring
professor of religion at BYU commented to the faculty: “I have learned over the
years that almost everyone wants God in their lives, they just don’t want too
much of Him.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is a good summary of
the human condition, particularly for every would-be disciple of Christ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How much are we really willing and interested
in giving, and giving up as we pursue a life of imitating the Good Shepherd who
ministered so lovingly and consistently to the poor?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So all this weighs on my mind and I feel the
inward struggle wondering if I’ll carry through with my hearts intent, or will
these emotions get lost in the busyness of life when we settle back into
friends, callings, home, and family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Time will tell.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In any case, my heart is filled with gratitude for these
past 18 months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were pushed to the
edge of our faith and endurance, and true to Heavenly Father’s plan, we have
been blessed and grew through it all in ways we perhaps could not have
anticipated or experienced in any other way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>God surely knew where we should serve on this mission and sent us
there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has been the perfect place at
the perfect time, and hard as it was, I am filled with gratitude.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I know that God lives, that Jesus is our beloved Savior, and

The uniqueness of life on Taveuni never seems to become commonplace to us so we keep camera in hand everywhere we go. We don't feel like tourists but perhaps appear that way to our Fijian neighbors when we pause to snap a shot.<br />
<br />
We recently took "the big boat" across the Somosomo Straits to Vanua Levu Island for a missionary conference:<br />

Visiting the farms is so interesting. The Ranama family are wonderful church leaders in Somosomo and work hard to grow dalo, cabbage, cucumber, tomatoes and other vegetables to sell at the local resorts. Their farm is impeccably cared for and the little house is sufficient. The farm produces enough to meet their needs and help pay for 3 of their kids who have, or are serving missions.<br />

Our dear friend, Timoce was returning back from the farm when we passed him on the road. We are constantly amazed at their ingenuity for carrying things. Here, he had woven a palm frawn basket to carry bananas wrapped in dalo leaves, and you just have to bring home some coconuts! Son, Jone had more leaves, a mainstay for "green food" in their diets. When cooked properly, the leaves are fairly tasty. Not fully cooked, they cause an intense itching choke in your throat so we always hope the mother is not in a hurry when we come for dinner!</div>

While the men were off working at the farm, Losana was in labor at the hospital and by the time they arrived she had already given birth. On the day of our visit, we asked the baby's name. Timoce indicated that his wife had chosen the first name of Saula. He then motioned to Tom and asked; "What your name?" "Tomasi", he replied. "Then that will be his name, Saula Tomasi" -- pretty cool to have a namesake on Taveuni! Annie already had a little girl named after her in Ba so now we are both represented in Fiji.<br />

No matter where you live, clothes washing is a universal need so while the men are at the farm, women are often seen in the rivers brushing, scrubbing, and slapping the clothes on rocks or with sticks. Water is always warm and pleasant so it's a great social time.<br />

This is the most lovely LDS chapel on Taveuni where the Somosomo Branch meets. Because of it's size and central location in the village, it is a gathering spot for many happenings in the community and a place we have spent much time.<br />

On this Saturday morning Annie met with the young women to teach them how to weave bracelets. It was a simple craft and yet it worked with what supplies we have to work with here. The next day at church their leaders told us they couldn't stop -- it's kind of like a disease once you get started.<br />

We feel the same way about our circle of friends in Taveuni. Included among them are Sam and Ana from the nearby village of Soqulu. Our first meeting was around the breadfruit tree as they visited and wondered if we had enough to share. Over time we became friends and were especially humbled one day to find Ana on our deck when we returned home. Seeing our clothes hung on the line, she feared someone might take them so she had spent the afternoon sleeping and waiting on the deck to protect them until our return.</div>

Radiant Ana and husband Sam have known great sorrow when their oldest daughter at age 3 died from a boil on her foot. Health care is so minimal on the island. Sharing the Plan of Salvation with them was particularly meaningful. On this night, little 2 year-old Lui, sat on the floor with his plate of casava and cup of water until full, then neatly put things away and crawled into daddy's lap for bed time.<br />

Eight of the members pictured above have all been baptized since we arrived. It's a joyful day every time we gather by the sea for another ceremony. Sister Loma has been a long time member of the Church but her husband had been a Pentecostal minister and the kids followed his lead. Blessings and divine timing finally came together recently as his heart changed and he was thrilled with the message of the restored gospel of Christ on the earth.<br />

After a long wait and overcoming many challenges, Muri and Mele were also finally baptized. Muri is an expert spear-fisherman and often provides the fish for branch celebrations. We love it cooked in coconut milk (lolo)!<br />

Along the way we've loved the sights of Fiji. Our minds have been captured by them and our time together with friends will forever be etched in our souls. What a blessing.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
This is Monday morning, and we leave Taveuni for the last
time on Wednesday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will then spend a
day in Suva, fly to Nadi and go to Ba for a couple days to visit friends there,
and then return to the United States on Saturday, the 23<sup>rd</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the amusing realm of artificial time
markers and international datelines, we will leave Fiji at 10pm on the 23<sup>rd</sup>
and arrive in Los Angeles at 1pm the same day (nine hours before we
leave!).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a 5-hour lay over, we
will fly to SLC and arrive there at 9pm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We trust the kids in Utah will be there to welcome us and we so look
forward to it – we are ready to go home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We will then spend several weeks visiting each of the kids in Utah and
Washington before arriving back in Corvallis around the 17<sup>th</sup> of
April to finally be home and be with Seth and Caroline, Tommy and Cali.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can’t wait to drive down Crescent Valley
Drive once again and to pull into our home we love so much.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How can I sum up all these months of hardship and frustration,
challenge, sweat, bugs and critters – all at contrast with the intense feelings
of love and gratitude we have developed for many people in Fiji?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just can’t do it, such contrasts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps like all missions, there has been in
reality more difficult times than good ones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But also like most missionaries, with time we hope to feel that the good
experiences outweighed the bad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This has
been a hard mission.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The living has been
difficult and that is combined with the frustration of trying to help Fijians who have accepted the gospel learn how to be participating members and leaders in the Church – oh,
what challenges and barriers exist to administering the Church here!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Notwithstanding the difficulties, we have had moments of
intense and eternal love with those we’ve taught and with whom we worked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At those times, we realize the promise made
to us in our call issued from President Monson’s desk that we would have joy
beyond our previous experience, truly has been fulfilled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is impossible to adequately express in
words the feelings we’ve had while sitting in little shacks, on the woven mats
we enjoy so much and with wonderful friends, communing beyond our language
capability the deep feelings made possible only through the Spirit.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Poverty and all it’s inevitable reach into every aspect of
life is something we’ve never had a close experience with before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It permeates everything from food
availability, to possessions of convenience, to education, to health, to government services (or, complete lack thereof), to outlook and hope.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the most part,
these people simply have nothing, and there are not a handful of them who have
a job from which they can earn cash.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When we bring a simple picture, or a video on our computer, people of
every age begin to gather and light up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Music! A picture!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just to see
one, to hold one, to imagine – something they have very little exposure
to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To see a picture of themselves that
we’ve take and put on the computer has brought such pleasure to them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I remember in Sister Mate’s home in Ba how a
little piece of broken mirror and a hair pick were prized possessions and were lovingly
placed on a piece of material draped over an ancient TV that may never have
worked but made a good shelf and still sat in the corner (besides, she had no electricity!).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was as though two treasures were being
presented to view.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not sure they ever
used them, but there they were as if to say, “In this home, we have a mirror
and comb!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Poverty also has terrible and real consequence. It takes a
grievous toll on health, on outlook for the future, on education, and on
opportunity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s not pretty and the down
side is very real and pervasive. With few teeth, lots of daily struggles and
disease, and a short life span, the people here move forward in a very stoic
manner, not asking for attention or sympathy because everyone else is in the
same boat. But still, as we’ve emphasized in our blog posts, you could not find
a happier people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their simple life
focuses on the joy of being together, of play, of joking and laughing, of
bathing in the river and jumping in the ocean, of knocking down a mango or
papaya to munch on, of running after each other, of the daily games of rugby,
soccer, or volleyball with a ball half flat and cover torn off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I laughed the other day to find a very large
group of young adults gathered at our church to play volleyball and every few hits
they ran to the sideline to inflate the ball with a cheap little pump we
bought.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Barefoot and scantily clothed --
but oh how they laugh and joke with each other as though life had provided for
them every needful thing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Life matches and conforms to the poverty and the rhythms of
nature.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You wake up to the light and the
call of the rooster, you go to bed when there is no light left.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No money for shoes?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No problem, from the time you’re born you
just run around barefoot and the soles of your feet harden like leather, so you
don’t really need shoes do you?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No money
for furnishings in your home?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No
problem, the voi-voi plant is just outside and you can harvest, boil, dry, and
weave a mat to sit on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No need for
chairs, or sofas – just sit on the floor with your family and friends and
everything is fine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No electricity?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, who needs computers and TV, and air
conditioners, and the endless things that cost money anyway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No refrigeration?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then we’ll just raise food that doesn’t need
it and eat what we harvest today, tomorrow will take care of itself, and
Heavenly Father has provided most of what we need to eat anyway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No stove? Well, we have sticks and people
have cooked over open fires outside forever, what’s wrong with that?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No plumbing?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s Ok, we have the rain water and can dig a pit outside to use as a
toilet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s raining?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then let’s all go out to play and take our
“rain bath”!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s always warm in Fiji
and the rain doesn’t make you cold, so what’s the problem?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ll take off our simple clothes (purchased
second-hand, or given to them, or handed down), and wash them in the river and
hang them out to dry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But what if it is
rainy and they don’t dry?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ll just
wear them wet, it’s not cold anyway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Need to go to town but have no money or car to get there?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just walk!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We went to a meeting the other day on Rabi Island and a leader we asked
to attend (though we had no idea where he actually lived), had walked 17
kilometers to be with us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No complaint,
no grudging attitude, no request for sympathy. He carried a pair of shoes with
him and upon arrival he reverently put them on to enter the chapel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When it was time to walk home, he removed
them and left to walk back home with no complaint.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Still, the poverty keeps you down, the government doesn’t
work, and the opportunities to change your circumstances are few.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As summarized by our good friend, Saimone
Nairoqo, “Everything is broken in Fiji, even the weather.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve really experienced this and it is
discouraging to live here and so hard to get anything done, with barriers to
success being woven into every aspect of Fijian life.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One day, we will all be stripped of the possessions and
materialistic trappings of life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ll
pass into the next world with just our character, our accumulation of thoughts
and actions we chose to shape our mortal experience, and the friendships and
loved ones we’ve nurtured and been blessed by.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then, we’ll stand before the Lord just as we are – the person we’ve
become.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All the inequities of this poor
world will have faded away, been compensated for, and seem to be but a
dream.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In that day, we hope to be worthy
to stand with so many who have truly loved and sacrificed for those around them
and made life better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will join arms
and shed tears of joy to be forever with those who loved the Lord and
righteousness and the children of God, and there will be no barriers that
separate us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our mission has sharpened
this focus and our appreciation for the Lord and His children throughout the
world, whom we have come to love with all our hearts.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We have 16 days left in Taveuni.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At this point in our mission experience, we
feel we’ve accomplished about all we’re going to do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had hoped for one more baptism of a
stellar 65 year-old woman<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Elena
Maitatoga), but her husband is causing problems and for now her plans for
joining the Church are on hold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So we
will teach another new-member lesson or two to Ela and Rosana, take one more
trip to Rabi Island, have a couple more administrative meetings with the
District Presidency, and then spend the rest of the time visiting our beloved
members.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hopefully, as a crowning event,
we will participate in the organization of Vuna as a fully established branch
and also see Somosomo get a new branch president (President Mohammed has moved
south to Vuna).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Last night we met with the Ranama and Qima families (same
house) in Somosomo village, and introduced them to the card game, Phase
10.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is no electricity in most of
Taveuni so we sat in the dark with a kerosene lantern on a beautiful big mat
and played (with some assistance from a couple flashlights).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was so fun and they have invited us up to
their little farm shack where they normally live, to have dinner next Monday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This Saturday we have a big going-away party
in Vuna that we are really looking forward to, and Annie has traded her sandals
to Sister Jale in return for her making two small mats for us to take home and
place under a nativity set we plan to make from materials gathered here on the
island.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Living here has largely become an exercise in frustration
and subsistence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have had it with “paradise.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Last night we had a new infestation of rats
in our kitchen, we are fighting off another infestation of scabies on both of
us (origin unknown), insects are a constant irritant though we’ve both grown
partially immune to the mosquitos, and there is little fresh food on the island
just now so we’ve barely had any vegetables for a couple months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We eat to live but often don’t enjoy it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In these regards, we are more than ready to
go home.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With regard to our efforts to help local leaders learn how
to lead, and especially to learn how the sacred funds of the Church should be
handled, we are leaving in significant defeat and discouragement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The more we look into financial matters, the
more frustrating it becomes and most leaders here would be released from their
callings and likely have serious disciplinary action taken against them if they
lived in the States.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have never had
money, don’t know how to manage it, and see the Church as an endless money tree
for which they have a personal responsibility to distribute the perceived
“unlimited” funds to any and everyone who asks – and for any reason.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Truly, money seems to somewhat ruin the church here, and in
our opinion (and that of other missionary couples), they would have been much
better off if they had simply had the Church and its programs brought to them
with no money associated with it whatever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Third-world people are ingenious at making do in life and getting their
bare necessities through a hundred schemes and associations – even if some are deceitful. All this “skill” is transferred into Church leadership when they
become members and seemingly without any conscience that certain behaviors are wrong (and
prohibited), they proceed to become full-time distributors of Church money
while making sure they get their share.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They do not see anything wrong with this and when we try to explain and
train them differently, we fear they just bide their time ‘til we leave and a
new uneducated couple comes who will not discover all these things for a few
months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is more than discouraging.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But with all the frustration, these are beautiful people who
have so many good things about them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
love spending time with them in their simple ways of living and making do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Village life has so many wonderful aspects
and much from which our hectic and materialistic “first world” countries could
learn from.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will treasure these
associations and always be grateful we had the opportunity to serve the Lord
and loving the people of Fiji.<o:p></o:p></div>

For the last 6 months, our life has been pretty much defined by the sea on one side and villages on the other side of the single road that runs north to south over about half of this 26x7 mile island. Most of the eastern half of the island where all the water falls run into the sea, is not people-friendly with extremely dense vegetation, sharp drop offs into the ocean, and therefore no roads.<br />
<br />
Up and down, up and down, always jostling and bouncing in our seats, we travel this road each day in one direction or another to the four main church centers in Qeleni, Matei, Somosomo, and Vuna, and to many villages in between. Along the way we've captured some sights and memories that typify life on Taveuni.<br />
<br />
<u><b>The Kids</b></u><br />
Smiles, always the smiles. They seem to love life, love each other, and love social life and play time. They constantly hang out on the road, sitting and laughing together. It always appears to us that they were on there way somewhere and just decided to sit down and laugh awhile.<br />

The smiles from graduation were short lived as Erik also "graduated" to circumcision age. The dreaded but free "circumcision-mobile" visits annually at this time. We shouldn't laugh but how can you not when large numbers of boys are walking around during the school break with a sulu tied up just as you see below. They all have their sulus constantly pulled out in front, hmm - to avoid the rub? In the camaraderie of misery they trapse up and down in the village and on the road headed for the ocean for their daily prescribed sea bath.<br />

Speaking of curry, welcome to our local fast food dining option where menu decisions are easy. It is either chicken curry with bones or chili chicken with bones. We noticed it wasn't listed in the Frommer's guide to Taveuni but then maybe they missed this hometown spot. When you're seated inside it is difficult to know if you are sweating from the heat in the food or the heat in this little metal trailer, either way the one fan is a special addition.<br />

"Camping" is often in our thoughts when we think of describing how many of the local Fijians live day to day. The Koy family invited us and about 15 others to their home to celebrate the 21st birthday of a much loved elder here. Can you imagine preparing meals year after year under these circumstances yet they think nothing of it?<br />

Although no photo to document, we have vivid memories of enjoying post dinner conversation when a bird, a small plane? - no it was just a humungous cockroach flew into Annie's face. Hitting her forehead first and then somehow it's foot struck her eye, giving it a nasty scratch. Struggling to recover, she heard the mother say of the intruding king of ugliness; "Oh, it's because the rainy season is coming." Poor little cockroach, can't stand a little rain? Well, perhaps so and we noticed a lot of his "friends" who had already settled in for the night and they seemed to be welcomed guests.<br />
<br />
Chocolate cake seems to be everyone's favorite no matter where you live so recently we have spent several Saturday afternoons with young women who wanted to learn how to bake them. In contrast to Americans who stand and use counter tops, the Fijians generally prefer the floor, presumably that would be because they have no cabinets in their kitchens. This group baked in partners and each went home with a cake for their families. As young Joyti (center in pink blouse) proudly carried her cake home, she melted our hearts when she exclaimed, "This is the best day of my life!" Her mother promised her she would be able to bake her own birthday cake this next month so we gave her some candles to dress it up.<br />

Sometimes we feel kind of sorry for ourselves when it comes to our limited food options. One morning we were noticing a tree near by our deck that had large green balls on it. What could they be? Hallelujah, we have avocados! Now if only tortilla chips didn't cost an arm and a leg here. Avocados are in the same league as chocolate cake so it has been fun to gift them and also discover some new recipes. Ever tried avocado bread?<br />

<b><u> Crafting Corner</u></b><br />
Most of the women love to get together to create and visit. Each church unit here owns one sewing machine and a few women have their own so by combining resources we can have 3 machines and do quite well. Every few weeks we have gathered together to work on some simple quilting techniques. Last December we found a school uniform making factory in Suva that was willing to donate a rather large bag of fabric scraps which has been a godsend for these projects. Table space was limited but that was no obstacle as you can see. Each brings a little something to contribute for a light lunch- cucumbers and tuna, guavas, canned meat and bread or perhaps some pre-cooked dalo from home. Sharing something we've baked from home with simple ingredients they have access to is always appreciated and they often ask for a copy of the recipe to try at home. <br />

While Annie works with the women, Tom helps get the generator started for enough electricity to run a couple sewing machines and the computer where he trains leaders on Church software. Unfortunately, there's not enough power to also run the iron so when it comes time for that, we shut all the other machines down. It's ok though, we all need time to wipe the sweat off and swab the mosquito bites. Just before we met, the branch president had sprayed for cockroaches and it was a lucky thing because all those foraging worker ants carrying a big dead roach up the wall to their home would have otherwise had nothing to eat. It was truly an amazing feat. Ok, enough of life in paradise, now back to the sewing . . .<br />

Craft supplies are a bit limited here but potatoes were in our cupboard so Annie was set to be able to cut stamps and print. Imported acrylic paints from our December trip to Suva allowed us to proceed with plans to make banners for each of our Primaries. No paint brushes, hmm... Tom's whisker brush for his electric razor worked great taped to a pencil. Lest you think we were wasteful, we were able to cut off the painted parts of the potatoes and cook them up for dinner but that does mean these are "limited editions".<br />

Always trying to bring added variety to the teaching options for the Primaries, we recently received home made flannel boards made by our talented mission nurse. They fold up and will travel easily to church. Kind and generous friends from the US brought flannel board pieces we divided up for the 4 Primaries. No need for computers when you have access to these.<br />

<b><u>Sights along the way</u></b><br />
The smoke drifting through the heavy rain caught our eye one day as we drove north. We'd been wondering what this odd shaped shed was for so we pulled in to get a closer look. With all the smoke and rain you wouldn't think a fly could survive but we were swarmed as we got out of the car and neared the "processing plant." Guess they like coconut too! Turns out, this is the village copra drying operation that precedes the pressing out of prized coconut oil.<br />

Ela lives in the same home with Rosana, who is a bright but quiet young woman and they both help Rosana's single mother to raise young Litiana, an adopted sister.<br />

Although only 14 years old, Rosana understands well and has been attending Church for several months. When she was ready and her mother consented, we had a lovely baptism across the road from their home in Vuna at our traditional place on the sea shore. It was a nice high tide and her friends from the church gathered to celebrate with her.

<span font-size:="" x-small=""> Ela herself would like to serve a mission in the future and has been independently studying the scriptures as well as serving as a teacher to high school age girls in the small Vuna unit of the Church. We are delighted with how well she is doing so we asked her if she would prepare a talk on baptism for Rosana's program. Ela not only wrote out a beautiful talk, but also memorized and delivered it with grace as we stood under a small tree by the shore. </span></div>

Rosana and Tom then walked out into the sea for the baptism. It's always so unique there since many of the kids who come along are just swimming and enjoying themselves before and after the baptism.<br />

After the baptism we sat around and visited along the shore with some of the members, sang hymns, and generally enjoyed this beautiful moment. Fijians have beautiful voices and this group even gathers on Saturdays to practice and learn new hymns for the next day. <br />

Tradition has been set, so following the program they all love Annie's banana bread or other treats she makes and brings with us. It was so funny because the bread knife got lost under a seat in the bumpy ride down to Vuna so she ingeniously settled for our big cane knife to slice the loaves. After the treats, the kids jumped back in the ocean and played around (the water is always a perfect temperature). Tom was walking by the sea a few yards from one 10 yr. old girl who was swimming with a mask and snorkel and it dawned on him that he was hearing her sing a muffled version of "I am a child of God" through her snorkel as she swam along!<br />
<br />
Other kids had also gone down the shore and gathered seed pods from a tree and brought them back to where we were. With a handy volcanic rock, they pounded open the 2-3 inch pods to find a long narrow seed that tasted somewhat like an almond -- yummy. <br />
<br />
The sea is everyone's friend. They swim and play, <span class="il" style="background-color: #ffffcc;">hand</span>-line fish and spear fish, gather various things to eat from it's waters and shoreline, and run along the shore playing games -- it is nothing short of wonderful to us and we love that part of Fiji.<br />
<br />
Saying our goodbyes, we headed southeast to Navakawau, the very last village where the road ends on Taveuni. We went to have a visit with a man and his wife who are also preparing for baptism (the young missionaries are teaching them). This is a village that is very isolated and we arrived just as a big gathering of people were butchering a cow. They had quartered it and were skinning it out and cutting up the meat for everyone in this quite large village. Few visitors venture down to this village -- especially white ones, and the moment we arrived one of the butchers came right over with a big toothless Fijian smile and reached out a crusty, <span class="il" style="background-color: #ffffcc;">bloody</span> <span class="il" style="background-color: #ffffcc;">hand </span>to welcome us to the village. Oooh . . .

We watched briefly as they worked and saw the kids taking pieces of hide, the tail, etc. and play tug of war with the dogs. Walking down to the home of our friends we found that the husband had gone out spear fishing. Of course there are no phones down there so you just go and hope you catch people. Since Muri was not home, we visited with his wife, Mele, and their kids.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Earlier that day, we had gathered about 15 coconuts from the yard and since they have fewer coconut trees in that village area, we thought Mele might like them (when available, they regularly cook with coconut cream and then use the husks for their fires). By that time, we had gathered a large entourage of kids from the village who were intrigued with their white visitors, so we asked them if they would come along and help us get the coconuts. The truck was parked about a block distance from the home so we ran and played with the kids back to the truck where Luisa climbed under the bed cover and gave each child one or two coconuts.

All the kids trailed back down to Mele's home with coconuts in their arms. It was so funny as they were getting a real charge out of the event and one girl kept looking back at us as we took pictures, when all of a sudden she ran into a big bamboo pole that was propping up a clothes line and broke it in half! Everyone laughed like crazy and it all added to the uniqueness of the moment. Unfortunately, the movie we were taking had stopped just a second before she broke the old weathered pole -- it would have been so great to have it preserved, particularly her laughter after the fact.<br />
<br />
After dumping the coconuts near Mele's outdoor kitchen, Annie suggested we play "Duck, Duck, Goose" so we got in a large circle and taught them the game. We could tell they were struggling with "goose" until we realized they don't have geese here and didn't know what we were talking about, so we changed that to "chicken". They absolutely loved it. Since all homes are close to each other in a village, many other people gathered to see the game and cheered the kids along. When we were done, we were visiting with one mother and then she asked, "can you get them all to go take their baths now?" But everyone was too wound up for that so we raced back up the hill to the truck and played "follow the leader" for a bit.

While the young missionaries are fluent in Fijian, we are not so we couldn't really verbally communicate well with the little kids, but all children speak "play" and we had a great time. As we backed out and drove away, about 15 of them mobbed the truck and waved goodbye. Many of them had seen our name tags and yelled out as we drove away, "Good bye Sister Sherry!" What a magical day.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Dear Kids,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">We had a lovely baptism yesterday in Vuna at our
traditional place on the sea shore. It was a nice high tide and we had a
good group. Rosana Valelala is only 14 but understands well and has been
attending Church for a few months. A couple months ago, just after Ela
and Ana were baptized, we taught Ela about being a missionary and asked if she
had anyone we could teach. She nodded her head and pointed to Rosana, her
cousin, who had joined us that day so from that time forward we have been
teaching Ela the new member lessons and Rosana the investigator lessons.
Ela would like to serve a mission and has completed about 3/4 of the Book of
Mormon, and serves as a counselor in the YW program. She's just doing
great so we asked just two days ago if she would prepare a talk on baptism for
Rosana's baptismal program. She not only wrote out a beautiful talk, but
also memorized it and delivered it with grace as we stood under a small tree by
the shore with about 10 members in attendance. Rosana and I then walked
out into the ocean and performed the baptism. It's always so unique there
since many of the kids who come along are just swimming and enjoying themselves
before and after the baptism. When I walked out with Rosana, a couple of
them swam along side of us -- why not? After the program, they all die
for Mom's banana bread or other treats she makes and brings with us. It
was so funny because the bread knife she brought got lost under a seat in the
bumpy ride down to Vuna so Mom ingeniously settled for our big cane knife to
slice the loaves (wish I would have gotten a picture of that). Then after the
treats, the kids jump back in the ocean and play around (the water is always a
perfect temperature). I was walking by the sea a few yards from one 10
yr. old girl who was swimming with a mask and snorkel and it suddenly dawned on
me that I was hearing a muffled version of "I am a child of God"
coming out of her snorkel as she swam along!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">After the baptism we sat around and visited along
the shore with some of the members, sang hymns, and generally enjoyed this
beautiful moment. Some of the kids had gone down the shore and gathered
some seedpods from a tree and brought them back to where we were. Then
with a rock, they pounded them open (the pods were about 2-3 inches long and
wide), to find a long narrow seed that tasted somewhat like an almond – very yummy.
The sea is everyone's friend. They swim and play, <span style="background: #FFFFCC;">hand</span>-line fish and spear fish, gather various
things to eat from it's waters and shoreline, and run along the shore playing
games -- it is nothing short of wonderful to me and I love that part of Fiji.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">After the baptism we travelled with two other
elders down to Navakawau, the last village where the road ends on
Taveuni. We went to have a final interview with a man and his wife who
are preparing for baptism. They have been taught by the elders but since
we had the truck, we tagged along. This is a village that is very
isolated and we arrived just as a big gathering of people were butchering a
cow. They had quartered it and were skinning it out and cutting up the
meat for everyone in this quite large village. One man came right over to
welcome us and reached out his <span style="background: #FFFFCC;">bloody</span> <span style="background: #FFFFCC;">hand </span>to welcome us to the village (they don't
get many visitors -- especially white ones!). We watched briefly as they
worked and saw the kids taking pieces of hide, the tail, etc. and have tug of
war with the dogs. We then walked down to the home of our friends, Muri
and Mele, but Muri (who was to be interviewed) was out spear fishing so the
District Leader could not do the needed interview. Of course there are no
phones down there so you just go and hope you catch people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Since Muri was not home, we visited with Mele and
then asked if she would like some coconuts. Mom and I had gathered about
15 from the yard in the last couple days and since they have fewer coconut
trees down there we thought she might like them (when available, they regularly
cook with coconut cream and then they use the husks for their fires). By
that time, a large entourage of kids from the village had gathered around us,
intrigued with their white visitors, so we asked them if they would come help
us get the coconuts. The truck was parked about a block distance from the
home so we ran and played with the kids back to the truck and then each took
one or two coconuts as we trailed back to the home. It was so funny as
they were getting a real charge out of the event and one girl kept looking back
at us as we took pictures, when all of a sudden she ran into a big bamboo pole
that was propping up a clothes line and broke it in half! Everyone laughed
like crazy and it all added to the uniqueness of the moment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">After dumping the coconuts near Muri and Mele’s outdoor
kitchen, Mom suggested we play "Duck, Duck, Goose" with the children so
we got in a large circle and taught them the game. We could tell they
were struggling with "goose" until we realized they don't have geese
here and didn't know what we were talking about, so we changed that to
"chicken". They absolutely loved it. Since all homes are close
to each other in a village, many other people gathered to see the game and
cheered the kids along. When we were done, we asked one mother a question
and then she said, "can you get them all to go take their baths
now?" But everyone was too wound up for that so we raced back up the
hill to the truck and played "follow the leader" for a bit.
While the elders are fluent in Fijian, we are not so we couldn't really
verbally communicate with the little kids but all children talk
"play," and we had a great time as about 15 of them mobbed the truck
while we backed out and drove away. Many of them had seen our tags and
yelled out as we drove away, "Good bye Sister Sherry! What a day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">By the time we get back from our conference on the
island of Vanua Levu, we will officially have one month left. We are so
excited to come home!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
