A long week. Spent it running around trying to find prices for our wish list for the institute. Adding new things to the wish list, and getting things so I can cook meals. Hurrah for a new hand mixer, and a small frying pan that is not peeling teflon. I bought cookie sheets (1/2 sheet cake size) that do not fit inside the oven (BOO). I can't imagine how long it is going to take me to bake a batch of cookies if I can only bake 6 cookies at a time. I am praying that the cost of fixing my oven (door, and coils) will be so expensive that I can get a new larger one.
Food here isn't cheap especially stuff Americans want. We paid $15.80F for a kg of stew meat and I nearly died, until I figured out a kg is just over 2 pounds. 2/3 of $16.00F divided by 2 = $5.44 more or less and that is not a horrible price just not good. All meat is expensive, but the veggies and fruit we buy at the market are not.
Went to the temple on Thursday at 4. The session was full. Two of our YSAs were there and can help when needed in the temple. The members are so honored to be in the temple that they take their shoes off at the door. Dumb us, we didn't notice until we were on the way out. Everyone was bare foot but us. There are actually two chairs between the front door and the inner door to sit on.
There are more youth here from the US doing HEFY. This time the Suva Stake is hosting them. I actually met a classmate of my niece Lindsey. Small world.
