December 30

Today is Robert's birthday for us---not for him. Been thinking of him all day. What a wonderful son he is; how hard it is to be an only son; how grateful I am to be his mother.

Sister Klinger was called out of the congregation today to speak.  She quoted Marion G. Romney.  He stated that as we read the Book of Mormon with our families and by ourselves contention will leave our home and the spirit will permeate our hearts and our homes.  I need to find this quote!

Made the long trip to Nadi to pick up Kristin and Paul. We are so grateful to Elder and Sister Wells for trading us cars. It is not fun to drive our huge, 12 passenger, standard van. Have I complained about it before? They gladly traded us so that we can drive 20kmph faster. The speed limit is 60kmph for our van which is 36mph! In a regular car the speed limit is 80kmph which is 48mph.  It is illegal to drive anywhere in Fiji faster than 80kmph. Not only is the speed slower for a van, it is not easy to have to shift down every time one drives through a village and comes to the required three/four speed bumps.

Will pick up Kristin and Paul tomorrow at 5:15 a.m.
