Devin made it home safe from Figi. What a great experience he had. They were able to build five bathrooms for the people over there. They had to do everything by hand, mix cement, hammer, saw, no electric tools at all. The people treated him wonderful. It was hard to eat the food though because the glasses were dirty and the food had ants and bugs crawling on it. The children loved him and they loved the toys that he brought over. He said the adults liked the toys more than the children. He was able to do baptisms in the Suva Figi Temple. He gave one of the villager guys a lot of his clothes because they are so poor. They don't have any furniture to sit on, they just have a mat that they sit on all of the time. When Devin was buying souvenirs, he bought the family that he stayed with a lot of things that they could use for their house, also for their new bathroom. When it was time for them to return home Devin said it was really hard. They had already grown a love for the people. The villagers met them at their bus and they were all crying which made Devin and his group also cry. It was such a great experience to get him ready for his mission for the Philippines. I am so glad he was able to have this opportunity.
