French Polynesia '08: Tipaerui and Paea

Tipaerui

The Baha’i Faith is growing steadily in the Tipaerui section of Papeete as neighbors and extended family members come around to learn about the Baha’i Faith.

The main Baha’i household in Tipaerui is that of Robin and Bea who are reviewing some points here about the Baha’i Faith:



Here is a class on the Baha’i Faith, part of a sequence of courses, being tutored here by Jean-Claude. He just translated the text for this book and is trying it out on some Tahitian speakers from the neighborhood:



Here are Jean-Claude and Bea sitting next to a newly declared Baha’i, Maire Maruoi, whose daughter was in a class on the Baha’i Faith which I tutored last year:



The Baha’i youth of Tipaerui put in a devotional program which included a presentation of the Baha’i Faith using a specially prepared booklet in French:





Lahayna and Diane live up a very steep incline in the neighborhood. Bea and I worked with them to practice the presentation. Here is Baha’i with her son, Tawi, standing on the incline:



Lahayna and Diane are standing on either side of the outline we made of the presentation.

Hi, Hillary

I've just returned from a holiday in the Society Islands and was able to renew contact with some friends after 35 years! This was a story of amazing coincidences which I'll tell at a later time - but was an amazing confirmation of Baha'u'llah's spirit and a reminder that I should be playing a role in helping the Baha'is in the Society Islands.

Upon my return, I found your fantastic blogs about your experiences in the Islands and am writing to see if you can put me in contact with the Baha'is there. In particular, I would like to arrange a meeting with my friends in Taha'a.

Can you help me?

Cheers,
