For the 24th of July, we had a big stake campout and picnic throughout the day. There were games, singing, program, and of course food. This is Elder Atwood standing by Bishop Munger of the Riverview Ward that we attend.
This is Sister Atwood dressed up for the pioneer spirit. She sang at the festivities with the ward choir. We had five sisters in the choir. But, they sang well.
Of course, some of the best food was provided in the Polynesian Ward. They had roasted pig. We had to taste it to make sure it was edible for the others.
They also had these bananas coated in something. They didn't look too appetizing but they actually tasted good. The Polynesian people eat them with all their meals, like we do with potatoes. In fact, they taste like potatoes.
This was a baptism we attended also. The two young people are Kellie and Cesar Wong. They were both baptized after the missionaries taught them. Their parents are not yet baptized, but they were both at the baptism and I'm sure will follow suit. All the missionaries who taught them were able to come back to the ward to participate in the baptism. It was great to see all these Elders who we knew and who we have missed from our Ward. Elder Anderson, Kolomoa, Kiene, Santa Cruz, Elwood, Brother Wong (their uncle) Elder Huston, Brasseaux, and Elder Hart. We've grown so fond of most of these Elders who we have worked with in the past. It was like a fun reunion. The two brother & sister were then confirmed Sunday morning at church. They were such cute kids.
