Our first job this morning was to go to Lami and pick up a couple that is here from Idaho. The Taylors live in or near Rexburg although he works for a company in Northern California. He telecommutes for work. They are here because they have a goal to visit all the temples in the world. This trip is to cover the South Pacific region temples. They have been to the Hamilton, New Zealand Temple, the Tonga Temple and our temple here in Fiji. They leave here for Australia and all the temples there and will pick up the Samoan Temple on the way home. Brother Taylor says they could not get to the Tahiti temple this trip.
So we picked them up to take them to stake conference held in the LDS College gymnasium. We knew they were here because they faxed the temple asking someone there to email them. They have found that the senior temple couples will help them know which hotels to book, where to eat, etc. My guess is they have also found that those same couples will chauffeur them around which we did, and offer to feed them which is what Elder and Sister Jarman did today. We were lucky to get invited to Sunday lunch also.
The Jarmans are a wonderful couple. He has worked for the church forever and mostly in the temple department so he is a wealthy of information. It is, however, Sister Jarman that is the real attraction. She is so sweet, and so fun. We love being with them.
We also were invited for dinner at the Hogges. Two dinners in one day. It is a record. It was so nice. The food was excellent. The conversations were uplifting. A great day.
