July 5

Carried the discouragement of last night's lesson late into the night and so am tired today.  I have decided that I don't have a testimony of the way the lesson manual is written.  President Packer said that teachers in the church need to follow the manuel lessons, because they are inspired; teacher's callings give them the right to inspiration for how to teach what is written.  I am praying for a witness that these lessons are exactly what these young adults need.

We worked more on cleaning out the institute building.  Can't get into all the cupboards because our key doesn't work.  Tried to move the pool table and really messed up the legs.  Too heavy.  So far we have desks and the basement is cleaned out.

We were invited to eat dinner with the Elder and Sister Whitehead who were not able to eat with us when we ate with President Klinger and Sister Klinger.  Because they share a duplex with the Whitings, they were also invited.  Elder and Sister Jackson came too, because they were teaching a Planning For Success (PEF course) class on Tuesday night.  We ate on the covered back deck that the Whiteheads and Whitings share.  In fact, neither the Whiteheads nor the Whitings have a place to eat inside their flats.  They each have one Lifetime (yes the ones made in Utah) folding long table and four Lifetime folding plastic chairs.  Put together in a square they make a lovely dining table for eight.  With the weather in Fiji eating each night on a deck is a perfect arrangement.  We had a delightful time.  We are serving with the best of the best here in Fiji.
