2019 Week 38 (16-22 Septembre)



This is a cool picture even if I do say so myself.  The reflection in the sea of the small plane we flew from Suva to Nadi, Fiji.  It's about a 30 minute flight.  


You can see how small it is.  From one side of the plane (President Guidi) to my side.  There is barely enough space to walk to our seat. 


Small or not, there is always room to take the laptop out and do more work.


Nadi from above.










On our way to the Marriott Resort these horses were almost in the middle of the road.


The Marriott Resort in Fiji


View from our room


We always have snacks in the room for us. 


Very nice room






Cool pool, with the sea in front.  We did not have time to go for a swim but I had to take a picture!  It would be nice to go back one day and look and act like the other tourists there.  We stood out in our Sunday best during the four days we were there.😁


Same pool, different angle.


Another pool with jet streams.


Beaches were nice also


                                   The conference center where we met and the surroundings.


We learned many good lessons on helping the missionaries invite, teach, work with members, etc.
One important thing for me is to invite all to come and see, come and help and come and stay with Jesus Christ in His Church, preparing ourselves for His second coming.








 There was a nice celebration for us Wednesday night with songs and dances.  The dancers were inviting  (you feel like you have no choice) people sitting in the front to come and join them.  Can you recognize Elder Stevenson there?


This is what grand-papa ate that night.  I should have taken a picture of my plate.  It looked more appetizing.😄




I was walking in the morning and grand-papa was running.  I took some pictures of the beautiful areas of the resort.








On our way to the airport by bus, I snapped a few shots of Nadi including a gorgeous Indu Temple.















We are back to the mission home.  Another beautiful corner of Paradise.  Our sweet senior sisters working in the Mission Office had a dinner they shared with us.  We are so blessed.  Girls, take that recipe, it was a great bean, beef and barley so up.  The 3 B's soup. 😋




And today, sister Lindsey, who made the soup, had dessert for us, Banana Pudding.  We are spoiled and we are loving it.


Mifala lavem yufala tuuuuuuumas!

The highlight of our week was talking with Wesley for his birthday with a bonus hello from Jacob, Mason, Calvin and Arianne.  He is now 6 years old.  He is such a sweet boy and we were very happy he talked to us for almost 30 minutes!!!  We were thrilled.  We usually get a quick hello then a quick goodbye followed by a  I love you because he is busy playing . We could have talked a lot longer but we had to leave for a meeting.  A very close second was a chat with Halle, Bella, Jaden, Audrée and Jason.  Short but very sweet.  These conversations, Messenger, Facebook and pictures are such a support in these crazy times.   Like these sweet faces to look at every time we feel like screaming, gets us back in our zen zone and making us smile.                                                                           This week was a blast!  We came back Monday from Solomon Islands.  Very glad the flights have not been cance

Most important event this week.  Our sweet Audrée's birthday. We ended this week by chatting with her.  We are so proud of all our children and grandchildren.   We love them "gros comme le ciel" and we miss them so much.  I woke up this morning with a message from our Coralie who opened the door to memory lane for me. She sent me this letter I send her at least 10 years ago for a school project about how was school for her grand-maman when I was in second grade. After reading this letter again, I started remembering some stories to help us learn how to read.  I found online the book and some stories back then.  It was so fun to reminisce. Do you remember the March 13 entry? Tender mercy #8 Saturday morning we woke up to a miraculous news.  Go back and read it if you do not remember.  Here is Elder Kema being reunited with his long lost, almost destroyed suitcase. This picture will always remind me that the Lord is mindful of the details in our life. This week we received

What happened during week 29: Big preparation in Vanuatu for the Celebrations of the 40th anniversary of their independence. What was once broken was fixed Interviews with the Mission President and district councils where the Spirit was felt and   brought a desire to be obedient.   We attended the district council of the Blacksands district We were blessed by technology as we visited with family members.  Little Emma could not leave her daddy's ear alone.  It was so much fun to pull on it. (for her of course, not daddy) He bore it patiently for awhile until mom removed her to play with something else. 😁 Calvin had so much to tell us about toys and the accident of his brother stepping on a toy and breaking it in the process. And Calvin expressed his complete confidence that his dad will fix it.  No pressure Stephen but he is counting on you.  We share his confidence. As I am writing what has happened this week, I see a correlation in Alma 34 that I studied this week. Preparation fo
