Senior Activities for February 2016

Having all of the Senior couples with us here in Tonga has been a joy!  We have made some very special friends that we will treasure for ever.  We not only have fun together, but we work together for the betterment of Tonga in all areas.  Following are some pictures of our meetings and fun activities.
This was a meeting with Dr. Amenaki, the Head Dentist in Tonga.  We were finding out what their needs are in their Dental clinics in the outer islands of  Tonga.  In the picture top row, left to right, Elder Murdock, Elder Johns, dentist at Liahona, and Dr. Amenaki.  Sitting, left to right, Sister Johns, Sister Murdock and Ana Ika.  It was a very good positive meeting.

There is a new miniature 18 hole golf course here in Tonga.  The Seniors got together and went to play a round.   Great Fun!

Here our group is after the tournament. Standing left to right - Elder and Sister Van Den Akkers, Elder and Sister Clarkson, Elder Holbrook, Elder and Sister Bearce, Raymon, visiting dentist volunteer, Elder Deakin, Elder Vaenuku.  Sitting, left to right - Elder and Sister Johns, Sister Holdbrook, Sister Murdock, Sister Deakin, and Sister Vaenuku.

The golf course was at the Scenic Hotel, so following our game we went to dinner in the Hotel.  Very good meal with very good service! Wonderful outing!

Here it is President's  Dinner time again.  Always a wonderful meal!

We have to say good bye to Elder and Sister Van Den Akker as their mission has finished.  Such wonderful people, they will be greatly missed!

This is Elder and Sister Tupola, they are leaving us as well, so they are saying their goodbyes as well!

President Tupou and Sister Tupou and their children sang for us, which is always a treat!

Here our office had a "Good Bye Lunch" and a "Welcome Lunch".  Goodbye to the Van Den Akkers and hello to Elder and Sister Tafuna and Elder and Sister Funaki.  We had a wonderful lunch at Cafe Escape!
"How do we deal with the inevitable moments of fear or 'feeble knees'?  It is vital that we not face them alone.  Always it is helpful and comforting to be able to confide in a loving and trusted friend or relative who emplathetically listens to our uncertainties."   Marvin J. Ashton
