Spent the day preparing for Bro. Smith to come from New Zealand. We have been creating a plan with dates. We have been over to the Institute at least twice a day for the last week. I am impressed with the Facilities Management team here. When they say it will be done, it is done. Not what we were told to expect in Fiji. It's good not to listen to other people's prejudices.
Hosted the two US kids and a leader for FHE. One of the YSA from the Samabula ward came along. I felt sorry for the US kids, because they wanted to have FHE with a Fijian family. (OK here is another pronunciation lesson. One does not say that Fi-ji-an. No siree. I was told to pronounce it like pigeon only with a long e. Feegin.) Say what? Scott created a new game to play for FHE. He told the kids it was an old, traditional Fijian (Feegin) game. It was really just bowling with coconuts. We put a rug in the carport and then had them take turns trying to get the coconut to roll onto the rug but not off. It was way fun. As they got better we made them move further away from the rug. Guess who won? You are right if you guessed the Fijian YSA. We even had a prize. We had the wonderful Fijian ice cream for dessert.
