Pre-Field missionaries and my Birthday

We have begun hosting missionaries coming prior to the MTC to obtain visas and go to the Temple. They stay in the Dorm beds, they arrive from Fiji, Kiribati, Tonga, Tahiti, Vanuatu, Marshall Islands, etc.  They bring a good energy, still needing some guidance, but generally very lovable.  Usually three or four at a time, they stay a few days up to several weeks. Elder Araruru, from Kiribati, has been here for about three weeks, now he has his visa, but will stay here another three weeks before reporting to South African MTC, headed for Johannesburg mission.

My birthday came this week, glad for another and hope for some more.  We had cake with the Patron House workers and pre-field missionaries.

on the wall or anything.

Edit: 14 June 2016:  A sad note to add here, Elder Joshua Bull's father, set apart as Taveuni District President 4 weeks ago, died of a sudden heart attack a week ago on Saturday.  Elder Bull returned home for the funeral, he should be back in Suva to complete his visa applications and still plans to go to Australia soon.
