We watched the policeman fill in two forms for each of us. By hand. He got a kick out of the name of the "village" where I was born - Little Rock. Then Aaron and I made a set of fingerprints for each form. We were encouraged to hear lots of Lavukaleve around the police station. Yandina has traditionally been a melting pot of people working on the coconut plantations. My watch said five o'clock by the time we finished, and I asked what time they usually closed. The answer - four thirty. I was really glad that we brought banana cake as a thank you for these hard working policemen!
Then we headed off to Hae Village to find Matthew, one of the Lavukal translators, and Stanley, one of the members of the translation committee. They didn't know we were coming. Just as we pulled up to the beach, we heard a boat behind us, and up pulled several guys who had been campaigning for the upcoming elections. Matthew and Stanley were both in the boat - God continued to work out the details of our trip! Aaron was able to quickly chat with them to set up a meeting for the entire Lavukal Translation Committee to be held on November 21-22 in their village.

Last night it began to rain, a lovely soft rain, a little bit heavy at times, perfect for the rain tanks and for the garden. I found a beautiful black and gold (Steelers fan?) spider among the pineapples next to the house. And Katherine and I dug a small spot and planted some green bean seeds this morning, too. It has rained all day long today. Much needed as the rain refills our rain tanks and our souls.

Having Edi in the house has renewed our love for all things musical. What a joy to hear her humming, to enjoy watching operas with her, and to observe her teaching Sarah voice every morning!
