Oh the many excursions of the AP van between a rock and a hard spot!
Left: The van slid down this muddy hill! Thank goodness there was a rock barrier to stop it and some strong Fijians near by to push it back on track!
Right: It took a whole zone to "lift" the van to safety...silly APs trying to turn it around in a
very sight spot! You can tell Elder Terry and his side kick Elder Wells did all the hard work with a lot of help from Elder Rainsdon and the whole Suva Zone while Elder Painter sits int he driver seat! Great late night rescue!
My cute little Suva 1st Ward CTR PrimaryClass.
Going outside for a picture was one way to settle them for a minute!

March zone conference tour...with the Taveuni Zone in Labasa.
We took part in March zone conferences to remind the missionaries how successful
they can be by doing "Small and Simple Things" Of course it was pertaining to temporal things like house cleaning and safety tips, teaching them if temporal things are taken care of, missionary success and the spiritual things will fall into place!
Below: This is what we fly to Labasa on!

Good bye to Elder Adam Rainsdon (Idaho Falls) We enjoyed working closely with him as he
served as an AP. We will miss his desire to always be of service.
Elder Ethan Webster of Calgary Canada fame! Zone leader and great missionary!
Sweet Sister Bauro (Kiribiti) Served as a Sister Training Leader. We will miss her!
She always has a smile even when Elder Terry gives her a hard time
because he had to rescue her in a few car situations!!
Elder Kevin Hancock with his Dad and Step Mom who is a sister to Jonell Jensen!
A nice visit from Elder Jackson Irish, one of our missionaries in Ecuador.
