Visit from Leishmans

This past week we had a visit from Elder and Sister Leishman, from St. George, who also served in the West Indies with us, and entered the mission field this time on the same day as we did. They are serving on the other main island of Fiji, Vanua Levu. She had to come here to have an MRI on her back. She was experiencing a lot of pain. We enjoyed Tuesday evening and most of Wednesday until we took them to the airport to return to their island.

We took them to lunch at McDonalds and drove down to Pacific Harbor, where we went the first weekend. We met our neighbors, Elder and Sister Whitehead for a moment down there.


                                                                          We called Leishmans on Saturday to find out how she was doing – bad news. They have to go home so she can have an operation.

We currently have on our counter, (and its Fast

Sunday), three pineapples, three papaya, three mangos, and a soursop (Cortney knows what that is). We are going to have dinner with two other couples, but when we get home, I’m making my first tropical smoothie down here – the mangos are just coming on!

Chad says to squish up the fruit of the soursop and add water....loves the drink!  Ed added some of the other fruit to it and made his smoothie!

We will be working hard on helping to produce the modules the TVET program will need for this coming school year—for them to become electronically available.  We are excited for where we are and what we are doing to help this church school become more productive in the technical-vocational areas; and especially help students become more employable in their community.
