The Ball


A few weeks ago, the Young Single Adults had a "ball"
at the Holiday Inn. It was a huge deal. Kids came
from across the island and stayed here in patron housing.
They were suppose to wear formal wear, including
shoes...and no sulus. Somehow they all came up with
appropriate clothing. They looked great. The kids
that stayed here on the temple site were taken to the
"ball" on a flatbed truck....really. They didn't seem to
mind at all. Many of the elders lent their suits to brothers
attending the dance. I know some of the sisters, borrowed
dresses, some got them at 2nd hand stores (there are alot
here in Suva) and some had dresses made. (although that
was the exception.)


Lot's of dancing and lots of standing around, but
everyone said they had a wonderful time.



I only knew a few of those attending, but I just
wanted you to see how fancy they got!




So beautiful!





This sister lives in Sister Wood's ward. She lives
in a very small shack, made of metal siding, no
electricity and almost no furniture. But look
how beautiful she got for the "ball". It was so
fun to see!
