Saturday we senior missionaries (appropriately named The Twilight Zone by the Fiji Suva Mission President), had the opportunity to visit Navatuyaba Village - a rare treat! Bishop Savu of the Navatuyaba Ward was kind enough to invite us into the village and arranged a meeting with the Chief.
We got the chance to walk around the whole village, visit with village members and were entertained by a very energetic Primary choir! One thing I've learned is that when Fijians sing, I usually cry...
Here's the Chief's house and another typical home in the village.

It's great to see you getting to know the people in the villages. Does Bishop Savu work on the temple grounds? If so, say hi to him for us. He used to come in the mission office and rest on our couch for a while before going back outside to work. When we first arrived we mistakenly pronounced his name as Suva and he said not Suva the city, but Savu!" But you know we Palangis had a few things to learn.
