Winding down, Parting shots

We have been starting to wrap things up.  Patron House scheduling is turned over to our replacements. Temple assignments for training are being parceled out. We are doing some things "for the last time", yesterday was our final early start Tuesday!

We will miss our many Temple and ward friends. Temple regulars are the best people ever.  I will miss my hot chocolate and breakfast biscuits for my Temple breaks.  We have been doing some walking, I will miss them and our fellow missionaries we walk with. There are no seawall and harbor scenes in Eagle.

The pride that Fijians of all types had in the rugby7's Olympic gold medal team would be hard to understand if I hadn't seen it for myself.  The first ever Olympic medal for the country. The team has now been honored with a $7 bill and a special .50 cent coin.





Our walks along the harbor, along Seabreeze park and toward Suva center, usually give us something interesting to observe. Birds, boats, or people.

Net casting for bait fish.



















Cindy's main walk is up Princess road to the police station in Tamavua village.  They were building a new covered bench for the bus stop for a month or two.  When finished the sign telling that it was donated by the LDS Church was placed, then partially cracked off the first week.




















The friends we have made, especially with our Patron House workers and those in the Temple, are the highlight of our experience.

Sr Korrie has breakfast "tea", hot chocolate and
breakfast crackers.
