Our Time in Vanuatu

A year ago today... I had to take this picture today.  The view is so amazing.  I never get tired of looking at it the same as I always enjoyed looking at the beautiful mountains in Utah.  We live on such a gorgeous planet. We started the week with a package of love.  We were able to add to our art and notes screen.  I was thinking all our sweeties (children and grandchildren) can either write a note or make a drawing once in a while for us.  Take a picture of it to send to me.  I will print it and add it to our "posting board". PRETTY  PLEASE ? 😀  It was a great training week.  First with the District Presidents ( one was missing because of health problems) and then with the missionaries of the Efate/Tanna Zones Sister Anderson brought the dessert.  She is such a good baker.  Her husband assures me that she only bakes no calories desserts.  I'll take his word for it. 😜 I love being with the missionaries so much.

Someone ran into my parked car and did not even stop to survey the damage.  How do I know?  When we got outside in the parking lot to assess the damage, a man came to us and said that the Peace Corp who shares an office in the same building we are in, they have a camera overlooking the parking lot and we can go an see the footage.  The E

The flowers on the mission home's ground are sooooo beautiful.  A feast for the eyes and the white ones are so fragrant.  The best way to start a week is to receive a care box from the family with precious notes and drawings from the grandkids.  TANGKIU!  Mifala lavem yufala TUMAS! We had the whole zone of Efate come to the mission home to watch the broadcast of President Nelson's visit in New Zealand.  We tried to watch it live on May 21st but we missed a lot because of bad connectivity.  So this time we were able to download the meeting and watch it without a glitch.  I am so thankful for technology.   And because of technology I was able to chat with some grandkids this week.  So much fun. Friday we had dinner and a show with the senior missionaries.  It was an all you can eat international buffet.  It was pretty good.  One couple is leaving in a few weeks.  That is why we all got together for a special goodbye dinn
