Monday, October 14th,

We spent the morning waiting for Sister Uai. We were to meet with her about the Hygiene Training for Lavengatonga, but she didn’t come to our meeting. I can’t understand why people don’t call when they aren’t coming to a meeting. It really messed up our morning. While we were waiting for her we spent some time preparing for Tuesday. We have a very important meeting set up for tomorrow.

FHE tonight was great. The Williams, our dentist and his wife, are getting ready to go home. This was their last FHE and they wanted to do a dinner and a service project. They treated all of the other senior missionaries to dinner. They made Hawaiian haystacks and had brownies and ice cream. We were all asked to bring 3 dozen cookies to the dinner. After dinner we put the cookies in baggies and then took them over to the boys dorm and the girls dorm. At both dorms the kids sang “Called To Serve” for us and then we handed out the cookies. It was so much fun to see the looks on the kids faces. They don’t get treats like that very often here. We had a lot of cookies left over so we walked over to the house where the family lives that has taken in the 18 adopted children. They were thrilled to see us too! They sang ‘I Know That My Redeemer Lives” for us and then screamed with excitement when we handed over the bags of cookies. What a fun and uplifting night.
