Our good neighbors, Ron & Ann Wight came all the way from Benton City to stay with us for a few days! We have had so much fun with them. We picked them up at the airport on Wednesday and have about worn them out. We have been to the cultural center and let them experience umu cooking, making tapa cloth, and wood carving. We have been to the market and bought coconuts, cracked them and made coconut milk from the scrapings for wonderful boiled bananas and tuna steaks. We have snorkeled at Vavau Beach and relaxed in the shade. We have been to a small Fiafia complete with fire dancers. They even stayed an entire day in a hot gym and helped us judge events for "English Day" at Pesega College! They were real troopers.

It is so good to have them here. They have been a connection to home for us that makes us grateful for those who have stayed behind and carried on while we have been concentrating on our work here. We are grateful for their sacrifice to spend some time with us. We are looking forward to the next few days with them.
Before the Wights came, Elder Lloyd spent time working on a family bathroom that the humanitarian missionaries are helping with. It will be supplied with rainwater from water harvested from the roof If it weren't for the two young Elders who carried the lumber up the hill, it might have done us old duffers in.
