2020 Semaine 45 (2-8 novembre)

 Pictures telling the story of our week:

We followed the Elections from afar.




We always enjoy the opportunity to attend district council with our missionaries which we did Tuesday in the morning



During the day on Tuesday the mission home was sprayed for bugs and the smell was so bad we went out for dinner.
We discovered this nice little resort close by.








Life in Vanuatu

Wednesday is pick up trash




It's official, the lights are on.  Christmas is in 55 days. 😊




We enjoyed hosting a House Night with 3 companionships and those they are teaching on Thursday evening.  


Friday, grand-papa went teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the missionaries.

We experience not only the joy but the confirmation of the gospel and the words of Christ in our heart.


"Jesus Christ, the Son of God, said unto his disciples:
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature;
whosoever shall believe in my name, doubting nothing, unto him will I confirm all my words...
despise not, and wonder not, but hearken unto the words of the Lord,
ask the Father in the name of Jesus for what things soever ye shall stand in need.
Doubt not, but be believing
come unto the Lord with all your heart
work out your own salvation
Be wise in the days of your probation
strip yourselves of all uncleanness
ask with a firmness unshaken that ye will yield to no temptation
but that ye will serve the true and living God."

These are some of the gems we read this week in Mormon 9:22,25,27-28

Come, Follow Me study this week ( Mormon7-9) was Moroni speaking to us as if we were present.



Saturday is our preparation day and we went out to do some shopping incognito 😎


We went to the mama's market to get some bananas.

I like the baskets they make to sell some of their produce.




A beautiful sky to conclude a beautiful week.






Mifala lavem yufala tumas!

  My companion went to the Island of Malekula at the beginning of the week and I stayed in Port Vila.   The mission home is a big house and it was even bigger with grand-papa not here with me.  There were no accommodations in the area of the island that he was because of a Council of Ministers that was taking place from the 11th to 16th of October.  The district president prepared a bed for him in the  building of the district offices.  That in itself was very nice and on top of it, the district president insisted he stayed also with grand-papa after all their meetings.  He himself did not have a bed. It was a great week of teaching with the missionaries and ...  also signing the lease for  a new home for our missionaries in Pango.  The landlord is a gem.  He put a brand new refrigerator and replaced the water heater. We found it driving back to the mission home after looking at some places last week.  There was a small si...

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 ou...

Week 16 (15-21 October 2018)

Sitting at the airport now, wondering what happened this past week. The weeks seem to mesh together.  We had 3 missionaries coming in a week after the new missionaries because of visas for two of them and sister Myae stayed extra weeks at the MTC in the Philippines to learn English..  We came back from Tanna Monday and Sister Myae arrived Tuesday.  Benoit was conducting the interviews with the Efate and Tanna zones, so I went to greet her with the assistants and the travel elders.  It was weird to greet her without the mission president but we drove to the mission office and he met with her then.  She is from Myanmar.  I was very impressed with her English.  I enjoyed visiting with her as I drove her back to the mission office.  She is the only member of the Church in her family.  She met the Church as she was attending English class and she said one of the students really stood out.  She was so nice and helpful.  She ask...
