Fiji- Day Five

Today we went to President and Sister Ardern's house. My parents speak only in the highest regards of the President and his wife. I feel so blessed to have had such amazing leaders their while my parents were serving. I have grown to love the President and his wife purely from the way my dad and mom speak of them. It was an honor to be able to meet them and be invited into their home.

We drove back to the other side of the island, to Nadi, where the airport was. On the way to our hotel we stopped at many villages and gave the children more books that we had brought from the primary in my ward. It was so amazing to be able to participate in this act of service. I only wish the primary kids could have seen for themselves how thankful these Fijian children were.





The road we drove back to Nadi rode right along the coast. Camille and I had so much fun stopping EVERY chance we could (thanks, Dad for being so patient!). We saw these boys playing in the ocean and they loved having their pictures taken as much as we loved taking their pictures.


At a tourist village along the way, they had Fiji huts and temples.

My parents were so wonderful. They booked us the nicest hotels. This particular hotel gave you hot mint-soaked towels to wash your hands and face with. Then they served freshed orange juice. Talk about the life!!
