This week Brother Ameet Kumar visited from the Auckland, NZ area office. He oversees TVET (Technical Vocational Education & Training). He monitored inventories, observed classrooms, and offered constructive guidance and direction to us in our TVET role. We are getting closer to the end of term for our ITEP class.
Friday afternoon was the ward service cleanup project. The teenage Young Men, using their bush knives, cleared the jungle-like growth along the sidewalk path leading down to the church. The young men were deft and strong in wielding the long bush knives to take down trees in record time. The sisters and Young Women "raked" leaves (using straw brooms) into a big pile which was then lit and burned. Leaves tend to fall regularly and cleaning yards is an ongoing endeavor everywhere in Samoa.
Friday evening was a ward dance which is more like a campus community event for all ages from little kids to teens to adults. Everyone joined in the festivity.
Saturday after acquiring our groceries from the market and the store and washing them, we celebrated our 43rd wedding anniversary in good company with Elder & Sister Deffense. We went out to dinner at a resort restaurant called Amoa. It has ambiance and excellent food, the special this week being Mongolian dishes of beef, lamb, and seafood.
