FONAU (Fono)

During Aaron and Christy's stay we planned a service trip to the island of Fonau. You can check our May 2012 post, which was the last time this territory was worked. We had a very kind reception from the Mayor and the Village Chief. Both welcomed our work and allowed us to spend the whole day preaching in their villages. Everyone, almost everyone, warmly welcomed our visit. (Except the man who Aaron talked to who said "he was busy building his Church.") 

There is a population of about 400 on this small island close to Moen. There were six of us all together and we were able to cover the island in one day. Afterwards we made a short trip for a quick swim, in service clothes, on a small picnic island they call Pissiwi.
