I can't believe how fast the weeks are flying by. I'll give you a quick run down of what a fun weekend we had a week ago.
Saturday, we spent time at our Turtle Bay beach in the morning. It's a nice little bay to lay out and do some good snorkeling too. We decided we also needed to spend some time at the PCC to walk around and visit the villages and to do the tourist thing. It is an amazing place. I'm so impressed with the quality of students that volunteer and the workers that do this everyday except on Sundays. Of course, our favorite place to visit. You guessed it, FIJI. Some of favorite Fijian's were performing, Sitiveni, Regi, & Peniette. They are so great at what they do. I even got to fulfill my dream of dancing in the Fiji Village. Wow, it made my day complete... The parade of the canoes are not to be missed either. We spent 5 hours there and still have to go back for 3 more villages and the big show.
We spent a nice day at church and met some really nice people. As of this Sunday, we have been asked to serve in a Student Ward. Let you how that turns out. We did go to the Fiji Forum (fireside) Sunday night since we joined the Fiji Club. My goodness, there were about 70 people there. We have been asked to speak next month.
Monday was a holiday for us also, so we took off and went looking for more beaches, Costco and a Walmart. We did make a side trip to the Dole Pineapple Plantation. We did the tour by Pineapple Express Train. Saw so many plants and tasted some pineapple. Never saw that many plants ever in Fiji, but the pineapple in Fiji is still #1. By the way, we have apple bananas here instead of ladyfinger bananas, delicious. Stopped at Teds Bakery on the way home, could become a habit.
Professor Stagg's week finished off very good especially since there were only two class days. I started my volunteer job this week for 2 days at the Mission Settlement House. I am sure I will like it. Who knows I may turn out to be a quilter. I would like to try anyway. There are other things to sew also. There is quite a history with the Hawaiian Quilting. I'll get to that when I know more.
All you runners out there will appreciate this. Ted is loving his morning runs (which last about 2 hours). After the run, he spend time sitting on a bench at the hotel watching & listening to the roaring ocean. His question for me this morning was "Where will I find that in Draper?" I had no comment for him except enjoy it while you can. We just heard Brighton received 30 new inches of snow yesterday. Burrr, we are so happy to be here right now.
Here we are, it's Saturday again. We are off for another road trip. Aloha and we love you all.
If you're trying to make me jealous, it's working. If you're NOT trying to make me jealous, well, too late.
ReplyDeleteThere must be a thousand students you'll run into out there, but we have some friends whose son just got there. His name is Danny Baer. I'll tell him to be on the lookout for you guys.
So glad you're having fun. I will think about you tomorrow as I slide my way down the hill to work!
