Sinalei Trip with Mission Office Staff

Last week, the office staff enjoyed an evening out, at a very nice resort called Sinalei.

It's a little bit of heaven tucked away on the other side of the island, but only a 45 minute drive via the cross island road.

I enlarged this photo so you could better see the floating flowers. So very pretty!

There were great views of the ocean.
  The next picture shows us on that walkway you see below.

I am with Rachel (left) and Pearl (right) the daughters of President and Sister Leota.  Rachel leaves for her mission in January.  Pearl attends Pesega school here in the mission compound.  These two girls are soooooo much fun! 

A picture of the couples...President and Sister Leata, the Harkers, President and Sister Talataina (she was the interpretor for a recent mission tour with Elder Pearson) us, and the Mariners. 

Dalin (not sure on the spelling) who is taking care of the family home in Australia, surprised his family with a quick visit, so this was the perfect time for a family picture.

More beautiful views...

We attended a fiafia that night.

There was some great dancing.

I'm pretty sure this is operated by an extended family unit and many of its members danced for us.

Everyone's favorite was the fire dancing.
