Tacilevu, Tukavesi and Nabua

Spencer arrived in his new area and was thrilled with the new surroundings and adventure. His companion is Elder Tavo and he is from Suva. The area is very beautiful. He lives in a little wooden shack in the middle of the settlement above a small building that is considered the church house. There is no electricity or running water. He showers in a tin shack just above his hut and they just light candles for the evenings. He and Elder Tavo are a great duo and he serves as primary president and co-ward clerk.

The primary president was a crazy experience. The kids were not accustom to such white skin, so they kept stroking Spencer's arm and saying, "Oh, beautiful, beautiful."

Although, to Spencer's dissappointment, he was transferred three days later when the mission president learned that the Elder they sent to the other side of the island could not drive the little truck with a clutch so they traded places. And Spencer was transferred to what they all call "Little America" where they have very fancy hotels and resorts. Little did we know that Kay spending hours teaching the kids to drive our small Saturn clutch car was actually missionary prep. You never know.
