Canada Day & July 4th

The Keyes from Victoria joined us at the home of Elder & Sister Johannson, Elder Johannson is the area 70 and Service Centre manager here in Fiji.  Sister Johannson's father came from Canada and their son standing next to me just returned from the Vancouver Canada mission.  We had a great evening together for a Canada Day Party..

Wendy and I took a long walk Saturday morning and passed by the Home and offices of the President of Fiji.  There is a guard house as well as an honor guard that works in 2 hour shifts.  They stand at attention for 2 hours and can't talk to you or move.  The grounds are beautiful and you look out to the ocean from this point, very beautiful.

The city kids here are very connected to technology.  Cute kid, got to love the hair

one of our projects is providing material and supplies to village dispensaries so the village nurse can provide early medical help to those in need.

we traveled to 4 villages and provided needed supplies and material for the nurses so they are able to do their jobs and help the families in the village.

The villages build a dispensary for the nurses to work out of.  This was an example of a common dispensary

As we travel to the villages we like to take a tennis ball for the kids to play with.  We had fun playing catch with a group of boys in this village.  We need to find a sponsor - tennis balls are expensive here.  We are going thru a bunch.  hehe

another happy village,  some of the dispensaries are obviously smaller than others.  

This nurse was very organized and had a very nice dispensary.

Wendy and I visiting with the Chief of one of the villages we donated material to.  They were very appreciative and had a ceremony to thank us for the generous donation.

Another well appointed dispensary for the village nurse, this one was larger than most and the village is very proud of their dispensary because they know it is where they can get medical help.
