The Gospel Arrives in Tahiti!

This year I didn't get to celebrate St.David's day, as we were busy doing stuff in Tahiti, and anyway there's a serious lack of daffodils! Even the more Tahitian holiday of march 5th, was a total washout in Tahiti, heavy rains drowned the celebrations for the "Arrival of the Gospel". More than 20cm of rain fell within 24h in Tahiti.....leaving central Papeete in the drink!

Oh and yes, you heard right, the day commemorating the arrival of the first Protestant missionaries is a national holiday here.

(Johnnie Williams, the famous Pacific Missionary, buried here in Samoa, but his legacy
has left an indelible footprint on the Polynesian culture across the Pacific.)
