We had a Savusavu Carnival a week or so ago and one of the
young sisters in the branch was a queen contestant. There was four days of the
carnival. Wednesday thru Friday, it was just and evening event with local and
historical entertainment and, of course, the judging of the queen contestants.
They problem was that they had lights on the stage but much of the Fijian
entertainment was done in front of the stage and there were no lights. Saturday
things began with a parade through the entire town and ending at the site of
the carnival. It was hot and humid and we had to go home to cool off after the
parade and then we came back for the final night of activities. Our girl did
not win but she represented herself well. She had support of her family and we
spent some of the time at the carnival with them.
We love being here and are learning about the people and the
culture every day. The gospel is growing in Fiji and the humble saints are
learning the gospel, “line upon line, precept upon precept.”
We Love you all and hope you enjoy the blog.
