The Church in Honiara

There are three branches of the Church in Honiara, 1 district, 5 full-time missionaries and one missionary couple. They are part of the Papua New Guinnea Mission, but will be shifted over to the new Vanuatu Mission on July 1. 

 

 The White River branch rents a couple of rooms in this school.   The neighborhood dogs always hang around and bark and whine and try to get in to the meetings.  You have to open the door a crack, slip in and then shut it quick.  We thought it was hilarious.

We love these people.  The woman on the right was baptized yesterday.  The man by Lynn was just called to be Elders Quorum President.

We went to this couple's wedding last Saturday.  They have a "traditional" marriage, and now they are making it official.  It was a lovely ceremony performed by the branch president.
