Routine Activities

We are alive and well, our routine activities keep us busy enough.  The Temple has some slow days and then a busy day, no true pattern there yet.  We are going to get busy the next week or two, related to out-islanders coming over school breaks.

We help to settle patrons into the Temple housing when they come.  Patron Housing has two dorms with 18 beds each and 8 rooms with 4 or 6 beds.  Next week on Monday night we have a group from Taveuni (third largest island in Fiji) and our Temple worker group is coming to be ready for Tuesday 5 am session.  So the dorm is over-booked, we have mattresses for the floor.  The rooms are also filling up, some families of workers will come to do early baptisms before school.  I am looking forward to having everyone, it lets us get to know the people better.

Flowers are pretty here, we walk along the the protected bay in the mornings, Monday and Thursday.

These blossoms fall off a tree, too fragile to pick up.
I haven't looked up the name yet.

Monday morning this week

We went to a restaurant for the university of the South Pacific's cuisine and restaurant management school, the students prepare a meal and then we make a critique at the end.  The presentation and courses were very good.

Taro greens soup, and dalo chips.

Chicken pave skewers.

Lamb shank and roasted Signa Toka vegetables.

Basil/ginger ice cream, beet syrup and lemon
tart

We have been eating a lot of roasted vegetables at home,
They are very good, Pumpkin or other squash, potatoes and carrots.

Our family picture wall in our apartment keeps me
 looking forward to home, eye on the prize.
