Saturday, June 8th
We stayed in bed a little longer today, but not too long. We had to get the wash started before the power went off. It was off twice today so they could fix the problem with the generator and the power supply. We did one load and then headed into town. It started to rain just as we left home so we weren’t sure what we would find at the fair. We haven’t been to the fair in a month so we needed quite a few things. By the time we got there the rain had stopped but it was really muddy. We were able to find a few things, but not everything we needed. I guess we will just have to do without until the next ship comes in.
By the time we got home the power problem had been fixed and we were able to finish the wash. I also baked some chocolate chip cookies. We haven’t had them for a long time and we have FHE this week. I will make most of them into ice cream sandwiches for our treats.
I met with the two head nurses that are here from BYU this afternoon. They have been up in Vava’u this week working in the hospital. I took the list that we have been requested to fill over to them and they are going to go over it and mark the most critical items for me. Unless the church is willing to spend over a million dollars we can’t begin to fill all of their requests. They told me that some of the machines they have asked for cost over $250,000 each. It will be interesting to see how this one plays out.
We went out to dinner tonight with the Szoka’s. It was their anniversary today so we celebrated both of our anniversaries at Little Italy, a really nice restrauant here. Alan had a pizza and I had chicken fettachini. They were both delicious! The atmosphere is really a huge part of this place. It is clean, well decorated and right off the ocean. We had a great time. It was so relaxing!
