Today Scott and I went to listen to Vasemaca Nautu speak before she goes on her mission. We were not aware that she attended a Fijian speaking ward. It is hard to sit in a Fijian speaking ward, but we felt the spirit especially when Vasemaca and her mother spoke. One may not be able to understand the language, but one can always feel the Spirit; He speaks every language.
We are saying farewell to one of the strongest spirits we have been blessed to know here in Fiji. Vasemaca loves the Lord and He loves her. From the first day we opened the institute she came to everything: every class, every activity, every social. And she helped. She saw what needed to be done and did it. She is such an organized soul. Lately she has not been coming because she was called to teach seminary to those in her stake who do not attend LDS College (high school). She also got a full time job to help with expenses for her mission. Although we missed her, we know she was doing what needed to be done, and in the end it was a blessing to be weened a little before she leaves.
Midday temperature in the house was 25º (Can I just tell you how excited I am to finally know how to bring up the degree sign! Yah me!!!) Celsius which is 77º Fahrenheit. I was so cold that I heated a damp washcloth in the microwave, put it in a plastic bag, and put my feet on it under all my covers. We went for a walk tonight and Scott and I wore his two U of U hoodies. Brrrr.
