We love visiting different branches on Sundays. When we're not participating in a District or Stake Conference we head out in a different direction. On this Sunday, President Lugo (Ilagan Stake President) asked for some missionary supplies as their stake was hosting a member missionary fireside. He was headed to Bonito Solivan, a little branch up a mountain side. We decided to bring the supplies there and visit the branch.
We have Elder Cledara and Elder Buness serving there. They are both great missionaries and love the people. On that Sunday there was around 75 people at church--that is really good for that little branch. Many were stake visitors but many were the wonderful members. After Sacrament Meeting I visited the primary and had so much fun singing with the children, and teaching them how to play "Hang Man" and "Tic Tac Toe" with words and questions all about prophets. We had a blast together. At the end the room was really messy and I asked three of the little boys to help me clean it up. They showed me the brooms and wouldn't let me help them. They did all the work by themselves and I was so proud of them.
Elder Cledara has been training Elder Buness. This is last month before he heads home. He has been an amazing missionary and we will surely miss him. Elder Buness is famous in the mission for having the largest shoe size! He wears size 15! We're hoping his shoes will last him through his mission because the biggest shoes we've seen here to buy are size 10!
I loved sharing a little time with these darling primary children!
President and Sister Lugo traveled from Tumauini (about an hour) to Bonito Solivan on that red motorcycle. The dirt road is extremely bumpy and dusty. We love this faithful Stake President and his wonderful wife!
