Guess what no power for 36 hours!!!!!!

Well as Mandy and I would say "what the crap " THe pres just called and gave me this little tidbit or news..... The power will be turned off saturday at 11:00am until sunday evening at 11"00pm. Last saturday the same thing happened, except thepower came back on 6 hrs. early. The temple lost all of our water because the font just took it all. So now when we have a power loss, my job is to turn off the font. It is not any fun when you can't flush anything in the building. We just put up a sign saying no water on the bathroom doors and that's it. If there had been a real emergency there were 2 toilets in the font changing rooms that were good for 2 flushes. Yea, "what the crap, in a third world country it really has a new meaning, really." Br. Nielson just stopped by and announced he was having an icecream eating contest at his flat at noon on sat. He had just come from the store with lots of ice cream.

We are still laughing our heads off watching the chicken dance on the little video!!! It took about 25 minutes [ I just asked Dad how long ] to load and then we have it, WOW. Claudia you dear woman you do the best you can with your 2 children at the roller rink. Wade just does't have butt does he.

Just a funny thing here about the different way tithing is handled here. The night guard at the temple is also the ward clerk. His office is in the Wells garage. Sr' Wells saw the tithing in a bank zippered bag and asked what it was and he told her. He is from a village and takes a bus to the temple every night at 6:00. Anyhoo, she told him to find a place to stach it because she couldn't have it in the house. So this is where he decided to hide it , no joke. On the top of their garage doors.!!!inside the garage. He is there and the door is always open. Fiji.. In Vanatu, sunday after church a runner takes the tithing and runs 2 hours to reach a boat and then gives the tithing to athe boats captain. Next stop, I guess, is Nadi [large airport] harbor and someone there takes the tithing to the bank. We have the mission auditor [Br. Stagg] in our mission group and he keeps us up on these details. So he is here trying to teach the Fijians how to aduit thelmselves!! Are those in SLC crazy, or what? And he is trying to stop the bishops in the villages from storing the tithing under the boards of their buris, [houses]. He and his wife are the last auditors the Church is sending to New Zealand and the entire Fiji Temple district, so they will be on their own about the time we leave. For lunch we are eating almost all of the entire frig. and then we'll polish off the rest for breakfast. Pres is trying to get a generator for his house. But we all have gas so we can cook some. So the plan is eat ice cream, shower at the temple and eat stuff at the Wells , as often as needed. Bula,Vinika Ya'll love Mum
