This week is Fiji Youth Conference week. The schools in Fiji are on a two week break, so all the LDS youth (14-18) are coming to Suva. It starts Wednesday afternoon, but the kids from Taveuni are already here (Monday), because the boat comes only once a week and goes back once a week. They are staying in the LDS Primary School classrooms. Scott met the District President and after telling him about our calling the President asked if we could show a movie to his kids in the institute to keep them busy. He actually wondered if we could just show movies continually today. It is not a good idea to open the Institute and not be there, so we declined. We did, however, offer to show a movie at 6 pm. So tonight we showed over 40 kids and the leaders that came a movie. To get everyone in our classroom, we had to move the long tables back to our desks and put them on top of each other. We still had kids sitting on top of the upside down table. It was a good experience as it showed us that the room is not big enough to show movies in with our desks there. We are going to ask the Facilities Management team to take them back. We will have to wait until the stake moves out of our space to move our office there. Sad, but worth it.
Not sure the kids got the movie, but they were respectful and appreciative.
Because the universities are also out, we have YSAs coming everyday to the institute to play volleyball.
I am amazed that they played practically all day today.
