Very eventful week.  Moroni High School Graduation was on the 20th.  Elder and Sister Sumner were the guest speakers.  They did a really great.  The festivities were awesome.  The graduates all dressed in matching dresses, shirts, and ties that were hand sewn and matched.  They had a wonderful feast prepared and set up in the tennis court for the special guests of which Bob and I were a part of along with the other Senior Couples, the past President of Kiribati, the minister of education, some guests from BYU-H and others.  They danced and partied until about 11:00.  The graduatuion went from 4-11:00. Long day.  These people really know how to celebrate.  Also yesterday I had my first driving lesson.  Kind of upset my stomach.  Standard shift, people, cars, dogs.  But I think I did ok.  The rest of the week was spent doing the visa, auditing planning, working on housing contracts.  We met with Elder Johannsen in a CCM Meeting.  That was very special.  He gave us some good insight into the people's way of life and thinking.  It was very helpful.  We also had dinner with them.  Which was delicious.  The longer I am here the more beautiful the island is becoming.
