Wrapping up April 2018 & President Hannemann

We have a routine established with all the ITEP classes underway.  We have ten teachers in one of our classes, the most we've had so far.  
Love our Teachers!
We gave goodie bags to the three secretarial staff for Administrative Professional's day and it is an understatement to say they were delighted for the surprise.

It was Parent Teacher Conferences this week for the College (high school) and Primary schools.  A devotional precedes the morning conferences.  As typical, teachers always wish more parents would come.

We've climbed the Vaiola steps a couple of times this week---our own built in stair stepper.  Thursday evening we were invited to dinner with Elder & Sister Kinghorn over from the other island of Upolu.  Friday was a half day of school so the Young Women were off to Ward YW camp for two days to Aga Reef Resort where they slept in fales on the beach.  The girls confirmed that swimming was their favorite part.  We provided movie night for all the dorm boys instead of the girls and showed Wonder.  The boys thanked us for that movie and even talked about it with the dorm parents later.  Such a great message.  

Saturday was a cleaning, shopping, and baking day.  In the market we shop for produce like papaya, cucumbers, oranges, carrots, taro, pineapple, avacados, etc.  Also available are Samoan-made products like wood carvings, bead or shell jewelry, lava lavas (the skirt-like wrap), etc.

Early Saturday morning the mission office called to invite us to dinner with our Mission President & his wife along with Elder & Sister Deffense at the Amoa Resort here in Savaii.  Both couples leave their missions in July and we will miss them.
