View In our hotel room!
Nice outdoor dining at the hotel
The Menu was Fish and Rice for lunch
and Rice and Fish for dinner!
The supermarket where we bought our bottled water
The mode of transportation in Tuvalu is a motor scooter.
Our mode of transportation was our feet!
Beautiful, but very hot and humid walk to the missionary's house.
Sights along the way to the missionary's house.
The people have very poor homes, but they have
very nice places to bury their loved ones right in the front yard!
This is a home, a motorcycle shop, and a cemetery!
Another home front burial ground!
Lots of out door living in Tuvalu!
It's just too hot to live indoors!
Notice the 2 stalks of finger bananas above us.
Tuvalan garbage truck!
We asked these ladies what they were making.
It was a flour out of the coconut they were shaving
mixed with an oil from the coconut tree.
The missionary flat to move out of......
Let's get this place packed up!
With Elder Webster and Elder Vole.
New Missionary Flat....Much nicer!
The church in Tuvalu.
Meeting with the branch presidency.
The sisters that Sister Wells and I did auxillary training with.
I taught piano to the 2 ladies standing next to me.
The church received a beautiful new keyboard
so now they need someone to learn to play it!
52 pages of the church piano course in one night and
they did not want to quit!

Enjoying an afternoon drink in the sea breese.
We talked the restaurant into making ice for our drinks.
That is something they don't normally have in Tuvalu!
David had to join the locals and get his own transportation!
He wanted to tour the island so he rented a scooter.
You could drive the length of the island in about 20 minutes!
Riding sidesaddle
Of course, Linda needed an island tour also!
David could not resist the beautiful, warm water!
A view from behind the church where they do baptisms in the ocean!
The airport is quite a place.
The runway is the gathering place for the island people,
but when the flights come in (just 3 per week)
they clean it up with the fire truck and ring a siren to
scare the dogs off!
